I am again outraged this week, and this time I have burnt my license fee 
in protest at the BBC giving Nick Griffin air time on tonight's Question 
  Time cartoon.

Actually, I just seem to be £140 down on the deal. I didn't think this 
through.

I usually just draw a little penis on my ballot paper, but I'd never 
draw a little penis next to a BNP candidate out of sheer principle.

You think the BNP are so wonderful they actually deserve a 
medium-or-large-sized penis?!?

Fucking Racist.

Shit. Why does this keep happening to me. It was meant to be an outrage 
psot, but I've just revealed something very nasty in my psyche instead. 
I'm a disgrace.

Why was it even called 'Question Time', I'd like to know. The format
was completely changed for this edition and could have been called
'Let's Kick Nick Griffin Time'. When you have five angels kicking shit
out of the devil, it invites some sympathy for the devil. I don't
think anyone came out of it particularly well.

I didn't even quite know what I was supposed to think when Griffin
revealed that his father had fought in the RAF during the last war
while Jack Straw's had been a conscientious objector.

AWTWP. It was quite amusing to see Dimbleby's introduction being read 
completely straight, and trying to look like he wasn't going to make a big 
deal out of things... and then the first question just happened to be 
specifically about the BNP on QT. And the second. And the third....

And, call this a wild hunch, but I suspect that the presenter might have 
quoted one of the panelists more than any of the others throughout the show. 
And indeed probably more than any panelist who ever appeared on the show has 
been quoted.

It was also so fucking obvious which were the few audience members who were 
BNP plants!

My thought was 'I don't fucking care'.

The BNP are generally cunts, but they're probably not quite as cunty as the 
vociferously anti-BNP agenda makes out, and some shit won't be the clear-cut 
'good vs evil' confrontation that everyone seems to want it to be.

Because of their reputation for being beyond the pale, as it were, everyone 
else on the show felt they had to be seen to be distancing themselves from 
Griffin and getting in the occasional jibe. Nobody could ever be seen to be 
remotely in agreement with the party, even on issues where they actually 
are, which led to some surreal interactions between the panelists.

What I think they should do now is to ensure that while the BNP maintain 
their current levels of popularity, that this does not become a one-off.

BNP spokespeople should appear on QT as often as UKIP or Green spokespeople 
do, then maybe we'll see less of a furore made of the whole thing, more 
robust discussion of real issues, and less airtime given to the meta 
arguments surrounding whether the BNP should be on the show or not.

How can a medium or large sized penis possibly compare with the 
polesonic perfection of 2.4cm?
