Nick Griffin BNP on World at One - Complain to BBC

heather | 11.12.2001 08:58

Why provide racists with a platform?

NICK GRIFFIN ON THE WORLD AT ONE
>
> CALL THE BBB TO PROTEST

Nick Griffin, the leader of the fascist BNP was today interviewed on the World at One, asked to comment on Blunkett's 'British test'. He said that
David Blunkett was 'jumping on the BNP's bandwagon'.

Griffin on the BBC the day after Blunkett made his comments is a demonstration of what the so-called 'British test' leads to: giving a lifeline to a fringe fascist group. It is unacceptable that the BBC treats Griffin yet again as a legitimate commentator on race relations in Britain
today.

Call the BBC to complain against their decision to interview him, providing him air time, only two weeks after their Panorama programme highlighted their leaders criminal records and their allegiance to the politics of the Third Reich.
