I think Oliver is right... those who have turned to the BNP don't give a flying fuck what the audience or panel on Question time think....they hate those kind of people. Nick will be seen as a hero, a plucky underdog standing up for himself (and them) against the establishment.
These people are disaffected, they have lives that no one in power or no one who wants to be in power (and 99% of us) could ever understand, their claims to be not represented are well founded....they have serious issues in their lives which the middle class intelligentsia could never comprehend so just brush-off as ignorant, common and unimportant.
It is entirely the fault of the current government, not just the labour party but the other two as well for not listening to these people, for not enagaging with them, that the BNP has managed to reach it's current status...too busy chasing votes and attending think-tanks. And once again as Oliver said this is as much an issue of class as an issue of race, possibly more so.
Nick's a sort of interesting bloke he is without doubt the cleverest person in the BNP (not hard I would imagine), I wish he had had the opportunity to expand on his wider policies, hopefully then all his fans who tuned into see him would realise that beyond his retterick and nervous bravado there really is no content ...they really don't have any plans further than next week and that him and his party wouldn't haven't got a clue what to do if they gained any significant power.
