It's going to be good viewing though, that much is certain...

I think they're more likely to chicken out. But it would be a great spectacle to see someone like that thrown to the wolves.

I'm bizarrely excited about tomorrow night. I can't help but think Griffin's going to get absolutely torn apart.

With both hardcore BNP supporters and anti-fascism groups in the crowd, it's likely things might get a bit ugly.

Presuming he goes on, it'll certainly be interesting telly.

Like a bunch of angry bald white guys shouting at each other?

There are few things uglier than extremists shouting about extremist anti-extremists and vice versa. To the max.

Our violent opponents on the far Left have promised to lay siege and barricade the studio venue, because they know only too well that this could be THE key moment that propels the BNP into the big time.
Never before have we had the chance to present our patriotic, common sense solutions to Britain's nightmare situation to the public at large in such a prominent fashion.
However, members and supporters must be aware that this show will be a stage-managed farce organised in a specific way to leave several impressions:
The audience will be hand-picked and overtly hostile - thus giving the impression that the British people at large must be hostile to BNP views.
The panellists will be overtly hostile, even the non-political guests will be hostile. Everyone will be hostile - this will leave the impression to non-informed viewers that BNP views have minority status.
I will, no doubt, be interrupted, shouted down, slandered, put on the spot, and subject to a scrutiny that would be a thousand times more intense than anything directed at other panellists.
It will, in other words, be political blood sport.
But I am relishing this opportunity, and I know that, despite the stage-managed hostile audience and panellists, YOU, the ordinary members, supporters and voters of the BNP, will be in the studio with me as I take on the corrupt, treacherous swine destroying our beautiful island nation.

Yours sincerely for Britannia

Nick Griffin MEP

Chairman, BNP"

"patriotic, common sense solutions" made me laugh. Hello, Pub Landlord!

I like how people will apparently only be hostile towards him because they're told to. It's not like anyone actually disagrees with the bullshit he spreads or anything...

I can't wait for this. Come on, Fat Hitler, bring the common sense...

Exactly that.

Nick Griffin justs lends himself to hatred doesn't he? He's got a face you'd never tire of punching. If you didn't know who he was you'd still assume he was a cunt.

Nah, I'd assume he was a cop

Haha! I approve!

The most hilarious thing I saw with Griffin on was a news broadcast (maybe Sky) on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (they were covering the EU parliament elections)

Griffin was going on about how he supports the indigenous people of the British isles when the presenter interrupted him.

"How do you tell if they're indigenous?"

(Griffin pauses, looks confused)

"You just look... you just know..."
