unfortunately, if you invite MEPs of other political parties with similar or less representation on to the show then to not invite another just because their views are disagreeable is inconsistent. Sadly, you are right about this giving the BNP the oxygen of publicity in parts of the UK they wouldn't get it, but that was inevitably going to happen when they got 2 MEPs in June. The tipping point was then, this is just a consequence of the result of that election. I do take your point that the media or BBC could have handled this better in a strategic way, but I am not sure I want the BBC or other media outlets to judge what I should or should not hear.
Anyway, I am off home now and wish all the good people of LondonFGSS a fine weekend except for the racists!
