Do you think the audience was set up to be biased against Nick Griffin last night?

[sidewalksurfer2]

think there were only about 2 BNP supporters in there,

[M580]

Yes I do.

I do not like the BNP nor most things they stand for, but it was clearly a set up.

I was expecting it to be like the usual run of the mill question time where current events are discussed.

Iran, immigration, unemployment, etc.

No, this was all about attacking Nick Griffin. The majority of the audience were made up of ethnic minorities, more so than on any other question time.

It was a complete farce, and for an extra kick, we were told there was no such thing as an indigenous Brit.

Welsh/British born, I don't know what the hell panelists would consider me then?!

[ArrrMeHearties]

No BNP supporters were allowed in love!

[permanentlydrunk]

look at all the uproar today, all these people talking about the treatment and the BNP, great free advertising for them with all the people debating this, its gonna spread like wild fire.

[bazspur5392]

yep, hand picked twats the lot of em. those people are the reason the uk is such a dump today.

[jacklewis272]

Yes it was the vast majority were leftist and a large ethnic minority presence the excuse they will use it is London. In fact Nick has said it should be held in Burnley or some were like that were working class people who aren't Guardian readers can be represented.

[Orphelia]

No, I think the audience was entirely representative of the British public of whom the majority are opposed to racist, facist and homophobic ideologies.

First let me say I am no supporter of ultra right wing parties like the BNP. That said, I was disgusted by the treatment of Nick Griffin. It was a set up so transparent that the BBC and twats like Jack Straw dug themselves deeper into the proverbial mire. As for Dimbleby he just showed what a tosser he really is, absolutely no impartiality and he just let the hand picked audience act like attack Rottweilers, he should be sacked.
It was not a question time at all. It was let's attack Griffin night.

It just showed what a pack of left wing PC brigade morons the people who are running this country really are.

Absolutely, the panel and the audience was set up to be biased towards the BNP as you will see when you watch it. Very frustrating to watch because, sure, the BNP holds some very extreme policies but Nick Griffin was not given the opportunity to express his opinion on matters other than his racial views. It would have been interesting to hear from him what he thinks on the war in Iraq, MP's expenses and the economical crisis. Instead of discussing these topics, the show seemed to concentrate more on a predominantly black and Asian audience venting their anger out on the BNP and trying to get to the bottom of whether racial statements he made in the past were true, where anyone with a PC and the internet can look on you tube and see for themselves.

It was a BBC stitch-up,not allowing BNP supporters in.
