Letter from Nick Griffin to BNP members, About Question Time

Fellow British Patriot
Question Time is scheduled for 10.35pm TONIGHT on BBC 1 and will be a milestone in the indomitable march of the British National Party towards saving our country.


Our violent opponents on the far Left have promised to lay siege and barricade the studio venue, because they know only too well that this could be THE key moment that propels the BNP into the big time.
Never before have we had the chance to present our patriotic, common sense solutions to Britain's nightmare situation to the public at large in such a prominent fashion.

However, members and supporters must be aware that this show will be a stage-managed farce organised in a specific way to leave several impressions:

The audience will be hand-picked and overtly hostile - thus giving the impression that the British people at large must be hostile to BNP views.
The panellists will be overtly hostile, even the non-political guests will be hostile. Everyone will be hostile - this will leave the impression to non-informed viewers that BNP views have minority status.
I will, no doubt, be interrupted, shouted down, slandered, put on the spot, and subject to a scrutiny that would be a thousand times more intense than anything directed at other panellists.


It will, in other words, be political blood sport.
But I am relishing this opportunity, and I know that, despite the stage-managed hostile audience and panellists, YOU, the ordinary members, supporters and voters of the BNP, will be in the studio with me as I take on the corrupt, treacherous swine destroying our beautiful island nation.


Yours sincerely for Britannia

Nick Griffin MEP

Fuck's sake. I still think the best response to this is NOT to watch. Protest by showing the BNP that we're simply not interested in their views.

I dunno, it could be interesting.

Although the standard of opposition on the show is really poor. Jack Straw is weak these days and riddled with corruption so anything he says will be destroyed

If only Mozza had been the celebrity guest... then things would have got REALLY sweaty-palms interesting.

Steve ... Might have been best to post that with some sort of disclaimer. In my irrelevant but for some reason still active role as Ian's holiday board minder from 2005, I have just received a complaint about that ...

Saying that Steve was promoting the BNP? I guess it's obvious to us that BSE isn't a BNP apologist, but I can see how it could be seen as spam...

I can relieve you of those duties by the way Archduke...

oh dear.. busted...

Now they've gone "mainstream" I look forward to the mail on sunday's supplement piece "what's on Nick's Ipod?" Nothing would surprise me after Dave and his queen is dead selection. Mostly Wagner I expect...

Huge Close Lobsters fan, apparently. Was very upset not to get the chance to talk about the new retrospective while he was on QT.

No: it was an automatic complaint rather than a PM. But I'm presuming it was from someone assuming the original post was, er, sincere.

I bet he likes nothing more than a nice long Queen session.
