IMHO the rest of the panel came out of that very well. I've got a lot of time for Jack Straw, I might not agreee with every policy he backs, but he seems much less of a twat than many in the house of commons. He was getting choked up last night at some points, almost losing it, because he was so furious with griffin.
I don't see the BBC at fault here, the bnp has been allowed to stand in elections, and has won seats. Instead of putting the spotlight on griffin, we should be looking at the people who think he's worth voting for. If he stops getting votes he will fade away from public view, and probably carry on underground, but will get much less support and be able to influence much fewer people.
To me at least, he came accross as a petty, slimy little man, bent with hatred and overcome with ignorance. The other four members fo the panel had intelligence and intellects that they could use to back up their points, and whether you agreed with them or not they could speak like rational adults. griffin sounded like a little kid accused of nicking biscuits and then adamantly denying it. He is a fucking joke, I couldn't summon up an ounce of respect for him.
