BNP to appear on Question Time

[Bun]

lmao this should be wicked, wish i was there. somet fiesty might kick off with a member of the audience and slick nick lol. i hope the scumbag gets ripped apart.

[UKIP]

labour are scared of the bnp? that's a new one, seems like you're running out of ideas.

and in no way does the bnp have public support on immigration? especially not with the whole of the country, some people would rather him dead than elected

Then you tell me this; why do Labour refuse to debate with the British National Party?

..in the same way they refuse to have a 4-party leadership debate, or a debate over the European Union.

It's called a boycott and its very common. It's because they are racist, homophobic scumbags. It's not because Labour think that the BNP will win, out of sheer principle they don't want to discuss with them. Now I don't support Labour, I support the Liberals and to be honest I'd rather vote Conservative than Labour however I don't think the BNP should be given any airtime. Just because they are a political party it doesn't mean they should be given the freedom to say what they want. Yes this is a free country but there are limits. If the Ku klux klan formed a party then should they be allowed to go on Question Time? No.

You have your chance to voice your opinions, just like everyone else. It's called an election and it happens roughly once every 5 years.

..so basically you just think we should have elections, and thats it. What a sad concept on democracy and politics you must have. The difference between the KKK and the BNP is that the BNP is a democratically, legal party which holds European Parliament seats - therefore Labour or the main parties should not be allowed to ignore this, Labour don't run Question Time and no party ever should.

No, but labour were democratically elected so they shouldn't be forced to do something if they do not want too. They represent the populations views. Anyway, direct democracy doesn't even work.

I don't think you understand. Labour don't run Question Time and don't want to, all they said is that they don't want to appear on Question Time with the BNP (although now they say they will). It's the general population who don't want the BNP to appear on question time.

Oh and also stop avoiding the Racism and Homophobia topics. The BNP are clearly both.

UKIP i don't like the way you argue

You seem to be so sure that BNP is the way forward


BNP as said, are racist scumbags, who don't deserve to be on question time

next time someone should throw more than an egg and nick griffin

The British National Party are democratically elected & are legal.

I understand very much thank you, it is you who does not understand democracy and its values, because you refuse to accept that other parties have different views compared to yours, and therefore they should be refused a voice on a political panel.

The Labour Party are controlling Question Time in this way, they are attempting to change Question Times' stance on this subject by using blackmail, aka threatening not to take part if they dont get their way. I really think what was the point of fighting a world war when people like you think that anyone who has views different to yours should not be allowed to speak them, in other words a Nazi outlook.

I am not avoiding them topics, we are not discussing whether the British National Party is right or wrong, we are discussing whether as a democratically and legal party, they should have the right to take part in a public-funded porgram. ..especially when the common sense would show that a portion of the license payer actually voted them into office.

..you have just proven my point, you dont like the way I argue so you attempt to link me to the British National Party and then later go on to call them racists, aka calling me a racist basically. You are just the same as Labour, using dirty tactics and smears against me when you have nothing else to say thats worthwhile.

You dont agree with the BNP, neither do I on some issues as I think they are way to the left side of politics yet I still accept they should be allowed a voice on a political program, because I support democracy.

The last thing you said, just shows you are just as violent, if not worse than some of the BNPs' members.

you take a quote from someone, talk about it in your view, and the way you want it, just like the media.

..otherwise known as debating.

Instead of having a go at how I debate and my tactics, why don't you actually put a case across as the thread at the top of this forum asks?.

No, they have the right to boycott something if they do not believe in it. If I invited you to my house and Stalin was there should you be oblidged to come? No.

The BNP as a party are legal but many of the topics it advocates are not. This is why some people such as police officers are not allowed to join the BNP because it gets in the way of their duties.

You obviously have a very loose grasp of politics and are trying to make it seem that you are not racist or homophobic but your whole attitude towards the BNP suggests otherwise.
