Well this storm has been brewing over the past month or so when it was announced the BNP leader NIck Griffin was to appear on Question Time this evening. Well it's definitely reaching hurricane status with protesters arriving by the coach load.
My own recent fascination with Question Time has somewhat surprised me, especially with my very limited knowledge of politics, yet I find myself consciously clocking it's Thursday......slippery slope. It may be wrong, but I do find it particularly amusing when David Dimbleby reads out the website and email address as if it's some alien invention. When he then goes on to suggest following them on Twitter I must admit I do laugh out loud. He looked truly dumfounded. Had anyone explained twitter to him? Or even email?
Anyway, I will definitely be watching this evening and I am particularly looking forward to Jack Straw giving Mr.Griffin what he deserves. Myself a Burnley girl I am well aware of the party with them winning three seats in the area way back in 2002. I know Jack will have experienced the racial tension and society I grew up in being from neighbouring town Blackburn and know the arguments from every angle.
The BNP need stopping. Go on Jack!
