Know Your Enemy

"The BBC should be ashamed of single-handedly doing a racist, fascist party the biggest favour in its grubby history".

Welsh Secretary Peter Hain has some strong words for dear old Auntie over BNP leader Nick Griffin's invitation to appear on Question Time - the same dear old Auntie whom Griffin accused of being "ultra-leftist" during the recording.

I noticed that, despite the open letter from the British Legion, Griffin is still insisting on sporting a poppy. At one point he came under attack for the BNP's appropriation of Winston Churchill (part of a wider appropriation of Britain's involvement in the Second World War), and part of his defence was the fact that his father was in the RAF. Well that's all right then, isn't it?
