Dr. Nobrain: Or how I stopped worrying and learned to love Griffin appearing on Question Time

Tonight will see a watershed moment for British Television, as the biggest human cockstain walking, Mr Nick Griffin of the British Nutsack Party, has been invited to appear on BBC's Question Time to be debated by a panel of his peers.  And by peers, I mean elected officials and not a bunch of sub-literate ponies holding crayons in their mouths, which would be his intellectual peers.

A lot has been made from the fact that we shouldn't really be putting racist bigoted idiots front and centre on national television, and there is certainly merit to that argument.  But hasn't the time come when we can all freely admit that this man and his party are starting to pose a threat to our political system?  Are we afraid of his success or his ideas?

The reason that the BNP have been able to make so much ground amongst the disaffected and the (let's say it) thick is precisely because nobody is out there arguing against the sheer idiocy of their ideas. They can constantly take up the position of martyr, constrained by the political elite from telling the truth to the people.  Which is nonsense of course, but people buy it, especially those who see the political system as nothing more than a joke.

So why not take them into the political arena? They are already there, with two seats in the European Parliament, including representing my home.  It is time we changed tactic when it comes to these retrograde fools.  Their arguments simply don't hold up under scrutiny and nobody is able to call them on it because they are too busy telling them they wont talk to them, or about them.

Now Question Time tonight is not really likely to change many minds. Most people tuning in will have already made up their minds as pro or anti. But maybe there will be a few people out there who will be watching whose minds can be changed by listening to what an absolute idiot this man is.  Ideally he will trip over his shoelaces on his was to the desk, then be so thoroughly outclassed by the likes of Jack Straw that he runs from the studio with excrement clearly running down his trouser leg.

Freedom of speech means that we have to accept that people have differing views to ours, however hateful they may seem to us, but free speech also means the right to a free exchange of ideas, in honest and open debate. I think the BBC is correct in saying that perhaps the time has come to show these fools and idiots for the dribble-mouthed racist fools they really are. 

I hope that the people they have chosen will truly take the fight to him. And if nobody asks Griffin which side he would have preferred to have won WWII then they have missed an opportunity.  Oh, and the awesome image above is from the good folks over at Wacky Racists.  Here's to seeing a fool undone on national television tonight.
