[Onket]

10:35 - bbc1

Does this clash with Masterchef? This is the important question.

 

[trevhagl]

maybe just as well AFA are no more now then, now that its unsporty to have any kind of showing against the nazis?

 

[Griff]

Does this clash with Masterchef? This is the important question.

Course not, Masterchef's on at 8.00

 

[Onket]

Course not, Masterchef's on at 8.00

Oh. Well I'll not be in til 9 so I'll miss it anyway.

It's been on later than 8 all week hasn't it?

 

[peacepete]

'martin smith' is an organiser for the anti-BNP demo, was just about to be interviewed by the BBC and was then snatched by the police.

 

[D'wards]

It does however clash with Curb Your Enthusiam.

Hmm, What Would Larry Do?

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Oh. Well I'll not be in til 9 so I'll miss it anyway.

8.15, so not that much later...

Oh, good. At least we can rely on the cops to be the worst anti freedom of speech offenders.

I see.

I expect I'll be watching question time then.

Not sure why his name is in '' above - he's the national secretary of the SWP and LMHR. That's a bit of a result for him as well.

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

lol - nick griffin just gave his precise location live on the news!

he's apparently in a vehicle waiting at the gates

he really is a class A Tool
I hope he makes a complete arse of himself this evening.

ETA Im not suprised security was 'breached' have you been to TV centre?? its not exactly secure.... Theres a gatehouse where every car is checked and a pedestrian gate

Looks like I'm not very up to speed with my swappie celebrities.

 

[London_Calling]

Griffin could quite easily go in another entrance. No one's fool.

 

[butchersapron]

Griffin has been in for nearly half an hour.

 

[toblerone3]

I'm more excited by tonight that I am by Eurovision. I might get some snacks in

 

[London_Calling]

Griffin has been in for nearly half an hour.

What's this person writing at 5.18?

griffin - "we're not going to fight our way in"

peacepete - Do you know what you're talking about on any level at all?

 

[trevhagl]

wouldn't it be so much nicer and easier if no one was there protesting so Griffin could have a nice stroll in?

 

[peacepete]

What's this person writing at 5.18?

peacepete - Do you know what you're talking about on any level at all?

i'm confused.

 

[London_Calling]

Yeah, I'd say so.

 

[peacepete]

what's your point?

 

[claphamboy]

Hopefully the police will deal with them severely, and they'll be charged with criminal damage and trespass at the very least.

I wish these anti-democracy idiots would go away.

I wish you would go away.

Cool photo from outside the BBC an hour or so ago...

 

[peacepete]

ok, the reason i put the quote up was because it was a particularly dark thing nick griffin said in the interview. i wasn't trying to say he was still outside. the quote had just been broadcast, although he'd already made it through.

They are clearly singing and dancing to New York New York like at the end of a wedding

Caption competition if ever I saw one.

He/she is correct though. What these people are doing is wrong.

You don't have to agree with someone's point of view to agree they have the right to say it.

Free speech FTW!

 

[peacepete]

from the overhead shot it looks like the protestors might break police lines

 

[krtek a houby]

Their hearts are in the right place but really, they are standing in the way of democracy.

But Jerry Dammers was quite persuasive on the news channel. Almost.

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

I agree.. as much as I disagree with Griffin, his nasty politics etc the only way to discredit him is to allow him the platform to be discredited on

Ignoring him and the issues his parties supports has only seen the BNP flourish. To say "Oh its wrong for him/them to believe what they do" isnt enough.

 

[Mr Moose]

Yep. He says most by saying nothing.

Didn't Ronan Keating say something just like that?
