Mark Collett, as mentioned in the programme as the BNP publicity manager, lives/lived near me. Actually, he lives/lived near Kate and Gerry McCann too.

I thought his most inspired lie answer was the one where he claimed that he was pretending to be a racist pretending to not be a racist, in order to convince racist youngsters not to follow other racists.
I don't remember that bit... can I have some of your literature to burn read at home? 
Well he showed himself good and proper there didn't he? Very ill at ease, visibly rattled by some of the comments, although Jack Straw did not perform well either.
I have to say as a working class Labour voter from the age of 18, I found the most sense was coming from the Shadow minister and the Lib Dem MP and Bonnie Greer was excellent.
Problem is that the Daily Star reading core group of BNP supporters probably thought he did well.
Interesting debate at the moment on 5Live regarding his appearence.

It was his answer when confronted with his quotes in America, saying that they would moderate their language until they were in power and could change the people's minds.He claimed that he was just saying that to stop the youngsters being infuenced by David Duke and his ilk!
Margaret Hodge was on Radio 4 this afternoon and she said pretty much what I think about his appearing on the show, which was nice.

And he had every right to do so IMO. ..............it was an important point - his fathers stance is quite irrelevant isn't it?
In general, no. In the context of point scoring rhetoric, yes.

Why no? my father (deceased) in no way whatsoever had any bearing on my political stance. I am my own person.
Good for you, but Straw's father did have an influence on him. He too refused to join his school military corps as a matter of conscience. He has every right to express his gratitude to the fallen soldiers (as I also feel that is correct) but his political rhetoric was stimied by Griffin.

And that was his right. You are judging him on his choice as a schoolboy ............i would imagine that his stance is different now. We dont always stay the same do we?
I'm not judging anyone, you misunderstand me.

That's not the way it came across to me. Rather than thinking Griffin was making a valid rhetorical point, many of the audience clearly thought his comments were irrelevant and unnecessarily offensive. If you watch it again, you will hear that, despite a small smattering of applause, the majority of the audience gave a collective gasp of "ooh", and one man could clearly be heard calling Griffin "a disgrace".
