What to watch instead of Question Time
There's been far too much publicity given to those 'indigenous folk' of the BNP this week, and I've been as guilty as anyone. I won't be watching Question Time tonight, though; it's the one thing I studiously avoid - even for a few seconds - on a Thursday night, such is the bubbling rage that wells up inside me as soon as I see Dimbleby's withered face and those poncey half-moon glasses. I saw half a minute recently while I was desperately hunting for the remote control and was sick into a bin. I loathe this fucking programme. And I'm not going to start watching the bloody thing because, well, you know, *that* man is on it. In future I am going to obscure his face with a black rectangle so you can't identify him.
Shit! I didn't mean like that, I meant like this:
There. He looks better already, almost like he's got a blindfold. All we need now is a cigarette in his mouth and his arms tied behind his back, and everything will be perfect!
Anyway, no more about Gr*ff*n. You're probably thinking that there'll be plenty of choice for the non-BNP viewer tonight, but I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken. In fact, ITV1 is doing its best to boost ratings for the world's most tedious debating programme by screening one of the few men in Britain it's easier to hate than der Gr*ff*nfuehrer: Piers Morgan interviewing Boris Becker. Jesus. One garbled attempt at the English language and a silly haircut... from a man interviewing Boris Becker.
Fuck that shit. What's Channel 4 got? Saw III. Not my sort of thing either. I watched a bit of the first one and it was gash. Besides, the creepy old puppetmaster would remind me too much of that man whose name I'm not going to mention. Five, meanwhile, has Blade, which if anything is even worse, albeit less gory - but the hero is black, I guess, which would piss off you-know-who. I'm guessing there's not a big Venn diagram between BNP supporters and Wesley Snipes fans.
Crap though Blade is, I'd prefer it to the horrendous battle of the brains as Fearne Cotton witters away to Paris Hilton on ITV2. Much like Jack Straw, Cotton must be glad to be on screen tonight with someone more vacuous and hateful than her. Maybe I'm too cynical. Maybe it'll be like Freud meeting Einstein or something. Though I'm not holding my breath.
Aha! Jaws is on ITV4. Now that's a bit more like it. A huge ugly beast, terrifying ordinary people, gobbling them up and shitting them out. A bit like the BNP, I grant you, but still worth a look. I could watch that film forever. Especially the bit where the man gets his eye ripped out. Great! Oh. We're back to one-eyed bloated corpses again, aren't we? Swiftly on, then. There's also Curb Your Enthusiasm on More4. Hooray! Finally, no need to be tempted to keep flicking over to see the pantomime on BBC1. And that's all to the good.
Actually, I might just go out tonight, come to think of it. The world will be a wonderful place - BNP scum will all be glued to the telly, cheering on their hero, so the streets will be a wonderful place to be, free of those shithouses. Maybe go out and enjoy the world, instead. A BNP-free world.

Oh, thank god. I thought I was the only person interested in politics who wasn't planning on watching tonight.
Go to the pub instead.
(Actually, if I wasn't worried about the state of a) my bank balance and b) my liver that would be a much better option than watching TV on any night.)

I won't be watching it either. I just would froth in the mouth with rage at seeing You-know-who sitting with his smug face, trying to justify his views.

When even a serial cuntstack like Kelvin Mackenzie describes your performance as "woeful", it's probably time to think about getting another job, Mr Griffin. Something which would gain sympathy from the public, like a VAT inspector or a traffic warden.

Quick question, Mr. CAPSLOCKER…do you advocate what the BNP wants, which is a removal of all non-national people from the UK? Do you realise that if this were ever to happen there would be a massive vacuum effect on the employment market? To be brutally frank, most foreign people come over and end up doing the jobs that the people complaining about the lack of jobs wouldn't touch with a bargepole, eg. cleaning, cooking and other menial tasks. Not to mention the number of good doctors and nurses we would lose from the health industry, creating another vacuum in which the NHS would be sucked into its own black-hole of job vacancies. The policy (i use singular, because I still have no idea if the BNP actually have any other policies) of the BNP is unworkable and would leave this country in ruins.

It is really dangerous allowing characters like Griffin air time and normalisation. What are the BBC thinking of? Hitler was thought of as laughable and a loony and look at the power he gained and subsequent destruction. People like this should be well and truly crushed.

You have a mixed race son and yet you are in support of the BNP who would like to remove him from the country?
Just checking.
