Oh, it was pre-recorded then?

Always is, fabienne.
Just in case.

didnt realise it was recorded that far in advance - don't they ask you to e-mail in with questions

I don't think you can email questions, but you can email texts, some of which are shown via the red button.

Good riddance to him.

Barney  feel for you hun, what a goddawful result.

On the subject of emailing in questions though, I hadn't thought of that. I seem to remember them saying that the the emails are to get involved with debate with other viewers rather than the panel.
Methinks that it will be bopsticktastic tonight on the Beeb QT forum - I may wander over and have a look

This is the Beebs question time page

oh right ok thanks deman

thanks veggie it was a bad result but once i heard the squad this morning - i was expecting it tbh - aaah well, never mind - we could afford that loss - but hopefully no more

(sorry to go off topic OP)

Wow to the black guy on Sky News just now confronting Griffin.

I am really looking forward to seeing this now.  

Him sitting there saying he isn't pro Nazi - what a LIAR!

He almost certainly isn't, to be fair.

I've seen him speaking about it on you tube, I'll try and find it.

The Beeb gas some clips on their website already:

I reckon he's been routed judging by the look on his face at the end.  I love the bloke in the audience who said he was sure most people would chip in to buy him a ticket out of the country.

Its quite upsetting knowing that people feel that way... most of my town (wigan) voted BNP in the european election

David Dimblebys tie is quite upsetting too.

FFS... why won't they let him finish a sentence?

The other panellists are loving not getting booed for a change.

As disgusting as this man is, I think it's important to have all this out in the open and expose him for what he is.
I really hope that the BNP voters watch this and realise exactly what they are doing with their precious vote. So many people are voting in ignorance these days.

I'm quite enjoying watching him make an idiot of himself !

Quite apart from his views, - I couldn`t vote for a man like him. I don`t trust him and he seems very shallow and says things for expediency.

His hands are proper shaking.

I think Nick Griffin is gonna come across well, its five against one and they are attacking him, not to mension one of them controls the whole thing aswell

From what I've been watching he's been made to look the utter racist fool he is.

He chose to go on there and he knew he'd be challenged, it's been a bloody long time coming and I for one think he's getting off lightly. 

David Dimbleby is there to orchestrate.

I think he's coming across as the idiot he is, just my opinion

He's not very convincing is he? 
Interesting point he made though about the Maoris and Native Americans ie. that their indigenous status is protected in some way.  Although I think he's mixing up cultural identity with racial purity to some extent.

two men kissing is creepy

two women is ok then?

Griffin almost choked on the word "homosexual".
That speech and his bit about about the indigenous people of this country were so obnoxious to me.

I loved some of the audiences comebacks, I think Griffin must have had two of his relatives with him for support  He stumbled all the way through it, there was no way he could put a spin on anything that was thrown at him.

No drinks in the green room then.

What planet is that man living on? I find him and his warped views repugnant. Nasty Nick  and that minger Jan Moir are number one and two on my loathing list.

He was never allowed to anwer a question in full.Jack Straw kept butting in.Very frustrating.

I like when he said he couldn't comment on why he'd changed his mind about the holocaust beacuse of law and that, but Jack said, "No, it'll be ok, I'll sort it."

I didn't notice Jack Straw butting in that much, I thought Baroness Warsi had more than her fair share of talk time though.

My LOL (well, screechy hysteria more like) moment was how he described David Duke in that meeting with the KKK as 'a non-violent' member of it!    

Agree with you

*high five*

I know, I nearly choked on my coffee

yes i was in the kitchen when he said the KKK comment (getting my choc fix) but i heard the crowd reaction and my OH told me what he said

Oh! And another one! How he referred to indigenous Americans as 'Red Indians'!  
Where is a General Custer when you need one eh, Nick!

well after tonight if people can't see what the guy is and what his party stands for I despair, I really do
