To be honest - I feel quite nervous about Griffin being on Question Time - whilst the prospect of a baying audience tearing a strip off Griffin on prime-time TV might be an appealing one to some. What they are not taking into consideration is the fact that Griffin is thoroughly adept at rabble-rousing, and if he turns up banging a few of the party's populist drums - more jobs for british workers, extra funding for the army, etc - the whole thing could quite easily turn to his advantage.

If he voices these policies the loudest and mollifies the BNP's reprehensible social attitudes whilst doing so, before you know it you've got a chorus of spellbound ignorants giving him an ovation on national TV.
