Nick Griffin was a WINNER on Question Time.

Odious creature that he is, I still believe the BBC and mainstream politics as a whole scored a famous own goal in this televised debacle.
Griffin, sweating and shaking profusely, was given a ridiculously hard time by the hand picked audience and panel alike.
Yes, he was made to look foolish with regard to his Ku Klux Klan connections, and his ludicrous Holocaust denials, but, as he rightly pointed out after the event, despite getting slapped about, he still managed to get in a 'few punches of his own.'
Most notably, his references to the role of women in muslim countries being treated as second class citizens, and his declaration of indignance at the endless flow of immigrants being allowed into the UK were not properly addressed by the usual 'grey' politicians brought in to ridicule him.
Don't get me wrong, the muslim girl on the panel would look great in a bukkake movie - so no accusations of racism should be directed at me, and although Griffin is a sleazy fuckwit of the highest order, I think the BBC's engineering of this exercise in far-right bullying did nothing to dissuade the simpleton who finds Griffin's product appealing.
Instead of treating the programme as any other Question Time, every question was aimed at Griffin and his party, and Jack Straw's limp ramblings did nothing to win over the ever disenfranchised ordinary citizen of this country.
I believe Griffin was 'let off the hook' too often, and daft questions from the floor only allowed him more space to wriggle out of awkward corners.
All in all, a most unsatisfactory end to the most hyped TV debate of recent years.
Well done, 'Auntie,' you fucked up, yet again.
