If you haven’t already read it, check out Fiona Hamilton and Tom Baldwin’s fascinating interview with Nick Griffin in the Times.
He congratulates himself for having backed the BBC — which, he says, is institutionally biased against the party — “into a corner” over his right to appearance, before offering sarcastic gratitude to “the political class and their allies for being so stupid” as to allow it.
I hope that any BBC boss who read the piece felt a shiver go down their spine. Do they understand what they have done? I guess we’ll find out tonight.
Note: I will be live-blogging Question Time here on the NS Dissident Voice blog from 10.35pm onwards.
