Just to boot, in case you haven't grasped how this works yet, my title is sarcastic. I do not think that because the BNP is on question time the world will descend into anarchy.
For some reason people seem convinced that because the BNP are going to be on question time this means that the end of the world in nigh and that we are all soon to be plunged into a neo-Nazi nightmare.
People seem to be missing something however, being put on question time is not being elected, one would precipitate a disaster and the other means practically nothing.
For some reason people think that if you give the BNP the 'legitimacy' of being on a BBC program then everyone in the UK will sit there and think... 'you know what, their obviously not bad guys if the Beeb will have them on their program, I think I'll stop voting labour like I have the last 30 years and start voting for them'.
My goodness people if getting votes was that easy we'd have a new government every five minutes.
There is a fundamental reason why the BNP will never get in... it is not a secret but maybe it will come as a surprise nonetheless;
...the UK will never have a BNP parliament because we're not racist!
The majority of people in the UK are so anti racist it is astounding, I sometimes forget this and then end up choking on my food when I hear someone from another Western European country saying something that, here in the UK, would totally unacceptable. We forget that we are very likely the least racist country in world. As a result there is more likely hood of Katie Price becoming a Nobel Physics prize winner than there being any strong BNP contingent in the UK.
The only way they would ever make head way is if around 50% of the country was racist, and if that was the case the problem would not be that the BNP is in power but that 50% of or country had turned racist over night.
'Ah' you say, 'but it is not the fact their are racist, it is the fact that the BNP can go on the Television and convince people they are actually nice people and not racist and then get votes that way, misleading the public into electing them'.
That could be very true under different circumstances, but lets think about this, which program are they going on? The Jeremy Kyle show? Trisha? No, they are going on question time, what sort of naive retards do you think are going to be watching?
Do you think that will a little demagoguery Nick Griffin is going to have the intellectual class eating out of his hand? If this is the case we better ban him from YouTube too!
At the end of the day sure, if he was going to talk to teenagers in run down areas, if he was talking to those who watch and enjoy Jeremy Kyle, if he was going to talk to those who are borderline mentally handicapped then I would be concerned, but question time? If you think his mind control powers are that good you have been watching a little too much Star Wars.
Oh and just a reminder, the reason why their people got any votes in Europe in the first place is because discussion of immigration (nothing to do with race) was repressed and as a result no one would address or consider what was on the minds of a reasonable amount of people in the UK. These people (rightly or wrongly) then voted for the only people they saw discussing the issue. In short repressing discussion doesn't really help anyone.
When Question time does air, I will not be fretting in my boots. Oh contraire, I will be relaxing in my chair pleased in the knowledge that thanks to freedom of speech these people and their policies are going to be exposed on television for everyone to see in the way nature intended.
