Is it OK to keep on gloating over Nick Griffin on Question Time?

Yes.

It was amusing to hear Darrell O'Brien going on about this on Wossie. He said that basically Griffin is "no good on telly". And he also said that the best bit was Griffin, afterwards, saying "Boo hoo - they ganged up on me".

Good point. The BNP, as led by Griffin, seem to have an infinite ability to twist any argument around to extract, what they think is, maximum advantage. This oftens leads them into the most perverse positions. And the "they ganged up on me" position is perhaps one of the most perverse and self-defeating of the lot.

Think about it. Nick Griffin is meant to be this fantastically strong and clever leader. He said going on Question Time was a breathrough for his party and there was countless pre-publicity including a "countdown clock" on the BNP web site.

Then, when he got there, he was shredded into small pieces, mainly by the audience.

So he complains, particularly about the audience, saying that the show shouldn't have been held in London because it is "not a British city any more".

Well, think about that one also. The BNP are often implying, and I've had comments from their supporters saying this, that some races are not as clever as others.

So we had their strong and clever leader confronted by people from supposedly "not as clever" heritages who managed to "bully" him.

It doesn't stack up. Either he is very clever and strong or he is a pathetic wimp who lacks basic televisual skills. They can't have it both ways.

I think we should, in a way, be grateful that the bloke is a berk.
