Aye. it has to be preferable, though, to give him a platform from which he can prove what an loathsome and witless tit he is, rather than unwittingly offering him the fig-leaf of censorship behind which to hide his ugliness.
Same argument goes for proportional representation. I WANT a BNP MP, and a hard line communist and so on: so that none of them can say they aren't represented and I can have my handful of greens.
Also, anyone watch HIGNFY tonight? I loved the quick dig at Nick Griffin that was on there. You have to remember of course that it was filmed before last night's question time.
Unfortunately as the crowd were really having a go at him, he can continue to argue that him and his party are being persecuted and demonized. Things like the "Dick Griffin" comment aren't going to make him look as bad as actually having a respectful discussion, where he would have to show his true colours instead of acting like he's just misunderstood.
I just noticed that, when someone directly asked Straw if uncontrolled immigration might not be the best idea in a recession with record unemployment, the question was unanswered.

Oh no. Jon's would be more along the lines of "Tony Blair personally rings the director general of the BBC in order to persuade the BBC to allow BNP onto QT to give Labour an easy ride".
It's just not a solid Labour conspiracy theory without TB grinning wildly in the background. :)
