Some brief words on the BNP.

First of all while I do not agree with the likes of Peter Hain on the banning of the BNP from television I can completely understand his position. Watching Nick Griffin on the panel of QT was painful and hilarious, and perhaps he should have the right to lie gratuitously, but I can understand why people who have consistently campaigned against racism are upset at seeing him on telly spouting this crap. After all I'd imagine anti-racist campaigners who started out in the sixties (like Mr Hain) would have thought that they would have got a bit further by now. Apologies we haven't Peter, there are still a lot of overt and covert racists in this country, I support your aim and to a certain extent methods, but Griffin is the wrong target, for a simple reason, him and his followers are fucking idiots.
