The BNP on Question Time.
What do you think?
´óÏó´«Ã½ News coverage .
1055 UPDATE: How about this perspective? "Reporters Without Borders is in full support with the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s decision to interview Nick Griffin, MEP from the controversial British National Party. Under the human rights of free speech and press, it is none other than an obligation for an international and comprehensive media outlet, like the ´óÏó´«Ã½, to exercise its professional responsibility to interview all MPs and MEPs regardless of personal viewpoint. It is the same act of free press that allows the ´óÏó´«Ã½, and many other UK media outlets, to function uncensored, providing all news freely; something very special and unique to the United Kingdom. This same press freedom must be practised by the media outlets that benefit from it; putting aside all personal viewpoints. It is then that the UK media sets world precedence, by upholding a free press which allows for democratic and uncensored reporting, thought and debate. Only under press freedom, can freedom of scrutiny then take place, and the ugly face of racism and hate can be seen fully and then just as passionately, rejected."
