This man sounds like a complete and utter creep. And I thought the U.S. had
some miserable political leaders ....

I wasn't going to watch, 'cos I figured it would be tedious, but then
did.... and it was a hoot.  Griffin is obviously intelligent (in a rather
narrow way), but he mostly looked like a complete prick.  If politics was
always so entertaining, people would be way more engaged with it.
 
Top moments:
 
1. Griffin trying to weasel his way out of talking about denying the
holocaust because "British law prevents me from explaining why I changed my
mind".  That alone was pretty funny (and lame), but then Jack Straw said
that he was justice minister, and would guarantee that Griffin wouldn't face
prosecution.  So Griffin tried to say that French and German courts would
have him for it, and Straw pointed out that they (the British courts) had
refused extradition requests for this in the past.  So Griffin then had to
explain how British radio intercepts had convinced him.... which was about
as lame as could be.
 
2. Griffin saying that David Duke was a member of "a non-violent Klan".  Cue
laughter all round.
 
3. Griffin explaining how he had had to say extreme things to his party in
order to convert them into the nice cuddly BNP that now exists.  I'm
paraphrasing; the original was funnier and more damning.
 
4. Pretty much everything Bonnie Greer said.  She was the only panellist who
looked wholly at ease (IMHO) and she wiped the floor with NG every time she
opened her mouth.  Whereas the others treated him quite aggressively (albeit
politely), she was totally friendly but utterly disdainful and almost amused
by what a fool he was.  I thought that that was way more effective.
 
Griffin also looked very nervous, which was funny.  I guess it's a bit
different having some smart people to debate with... compared to what he's
used to.
 
A bad day for the BNP, I'd say.

Anybody see this? I saw most of it until the baby started wailing. I hate to
say this, but I can't help feeling that if Nick Griffin wasn't a racist
c*nt, he might actually be a nice guy. 
 
Don't lynch me. My wife's British Indian so trust me, I'm not going soft on
the BNP. I think Jack Straw did a pretty good job and that Moslem Tory was
on fire sometimes. Jeezus I might vote Tory.
 
(I promise I won't try and create any more political threads after this).
 
Do UK Gatherers feel inclined to vote BNP now you've been exposed to the BNP
in a mainstream acceptable setting like QT?
