Last night,i waited for 'Question Time' with intent because,the advocate of britishness was to appear on the popular BBC one show.I have always wanted the BNP leader to vindicate himself from 'assumed' public outrage.Of course,last night meant that he would gain ground in changing public perception or lose those who provisionally pledged allegiance.My probable reason for anxiety could have been the fact that i am dark skinned and an 'alien' according the manifesto of the BNP.
Poor Griffin,the moment he agreed to appear on the show is the moment, he fell into the trap of political gimmicks.Oh dear,the panel on the show savaged him at every opportunity and never gave him time to finish responding.The key focus of discussion was on immigration and religion.
If i was born with a skin that requires tanning,i would have been tempted to change my perception on the BNP leader.His explanations were quite logical, given the toxic issues which were on the agenda.He explained why he is at odds with Islam as an ideology,gay and lesbian rights and immigration.He wants gays to enjoy themselves in the privacy and security of their own home.
A survey carried out this morning by two television stations show that three quarters of the people interviewed felt Griffin was bullied and i agree.
As a black person i am kind of juxaposed to Griffin's views but hey that's part of democarcy.Someone once said the genocide that took place in Rwanda was good because it was a way of reducing the population.Of course,it's an outrageous school of thinking but that is freedom of expression.Democracy says,worship as you please.Have sex with who you chose and say what you want without fear of prejudice.
Griffin is what Mike Tyson was to Boxing, and what Ben Johnson was to the Olympics - controversial!
