Shhh, I’m sneakily writing a little article on my lunch break, don’t tell anyone from work…

So far today the radio has really annoyed me, all this talk of the BNP being on the BBC’s Question Time tonight, basically it’s all a load of crap. I am 99% against the BNP, what they are and what they stand for. This post is not promoting what they do or what they believe in, it does kind of contradict itself soon though…

In the recent Euro elections the BNP won 2 seats, firstly this is a terrible indication of the current state of this country, how can they receive nearly 1mil votes? *sigh*! Due to this they have to be recognised as a legitimate democratic party, unfortunately, which means that they have equal right to be represented on programs like Question Time up against the other parties. You wouldn’t stop the Green Party or the Monster Raving Party would you?

There are currently lots (number unknown) of people standing outside the BBC HQ protesting saying that Nick Griffin should not be allowed on tonight, claiming that the BBC are showcasing what the BNP stand for and therefore promoting their messaging (that’s the contradiction, I don’t like what they stand for but I’m talking about them), and of course it is entirely the BBC’s fault. Very little mention of the government, the Labour MP for the area who was on a minute ago (don’t know name), denied the fact that if the government had a real problem with the views of the BNP then they could shut them down and stop them being a party (according to Victoria Derbyshire from Radio 5).

My final point is about the protesters themselves, and another contradiction coming up, all this talk about Question Time is giving the BNP massive media exposure (same as what I’m doing, giving ‘massive’ exposure), the best way to stop them is to ignore them! Also, sure by the protesters attempting to silence the BNP and ‘prejudicing against them, is simply doing the same thing that they are complaining the BNP are doing?
