Not a bad article - makes v cogent points about the inability/unwillingness of mainstream broadcasters to challenge the BNP. Thursday looks very worrying, really, esp when you read the comments section.
very good stuff i think Baboon, cheers. re 'tactics' on Thursday's show (i am in total agreement w all who criticise the lightweight, pub thug nature of QT's actual content most of the time) i think his paragraphs where he rightly shines a light on shady aspects of the recent histories of Warsi and Straw carry serious weight.
Paul Gilroy, Riko, Darcus Howe, and, say, Lionel Blue would be great to get on there, but in context, Gove and Cruddas would be far better than Warsi and Straw.
as we all know, Bassnation is quite correct re Labour's dog-whistles being influenced by the trash that the Mail and Express bleat about re immigrants.
Greer's alright, her and Hunhe might actually get the best shots in, my gut tells me.
there again, Straw is a tough bastard, so if he can defend himself from Griffin pulling out his stupid quotes about burkas in his surgery etc, he might land a few decent punches.
Warsi i have little time for.
