In an interview with the paper,he challenges the government to change the law if it wants to censor the far-right group.
Ministers would have to impose a broadcasting ban on the party – as Margaret Thatcher did with Sinn Féin in the 1980s – before the BBC would consider breaching its "central principle of impartiality".
No doubt tonight's question time may well rank as the top current affairs programme of the year.The week has been marked by snipings from both sides,criticism of the BBC for allowing the BNP airtime and some quite extraordinary outbursts from the party itself.
Including this one which makes the front of the Times
Nick Griffin has thanked the BBC and praised the “hysterical” reaction of the political elite for giving his far-right British National Party unprecedented publicity.
In an interview with The Times, he said that the bitter row over the decision to invite him on to this evening’s Question Time had attracted record donations for the party.
My view? I have to agree with Mark Thompson that in a democratic society we have to give all political spectrums a platform,really no matter how much we cant abide their views
From what I have seen of Griffin,he will show himself to be exactly what he is to the question time audience,a politician with few principles and shallow morals.
What a better advert to stop people voting for this party
