this is one not too be missed, just to see the reaction he gets from the audience and fellow panelists.

personally i hope they throw eggs at him!

It shall be interesting, I think he will probaly make an ass out of himself. With previous statments such as sinking refugee boats and the like, im sure there will be some radical answers to some normal questions!

Oh, no. A thorough, polemical annihilation would be much more satisfying.

[dorian gray]

Ah, how I await Dimbleby making him squirm .

Griffin's quote file contains such content, he will find it impractical to defend.

He has a Question Time audience, what can he possibly gain from such an event? Unless he uses it to spam controversy.

So, basically you advocate violence in response to someone airing their beliefs?

[knightley]

I agree, no violence is needed for someone like Nick Griffin. He can make a fool out of himself.

[NavalChicken]

I rarely watch question time but i'd definitely watch that

Don't give a toss about the 'right to free speech' ********. If you lead a party that supports racism and anti-semitism then you lose that right.

Honestly wouldn't care if he got stabbed in the studio.

That's what she said, wasn't it?
Pff... if you're going to take an ideological standpoint, try and make it less of a predictable snooze-fest.

Edit: ALLOW ME TO CLARIFY - Saying "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" (or whatever) is all well and good, but when used as a defense against statements like /Nick Griffin is a **** and needs his head kicking in/ (~ It's true! ~), it really gets annoying and predictable.

What about certain religions (which shall remain nameless) that propagate sexism and homophobia? Do you also think that we ought to suppress people who subscribe to these religions?

Thankfully you don't run this country.

If it might lead to violence? Of course I do. You'd be completely stupid to think otherwise.

Anyone think the UAF will make an appearance at this event. It seems they make an appearance at every other event. It shall be interesting. Is question time ever broadcasted on iPlayer?

I don't support the BNP, but what makes us any better than them if we lower ourselves to removing their civil rights and condoning violence ? He has just as much right to talk as a tory or labour mp. But as someone said, he WILL make a tit of himself and it WILL be funny !!

[Media student]

"The BBC has confirmed it may invite British National Party leader Nick Griffin"

IT MAY, so its not confirmed yet, but I think I will be interested in making it to the audience (with some eggs ofcourse)

It's uploaded onto iPlayer a couple of hours after it has been broadcasted on BBC1.

Are you the kind of person who defends the right of extremists who publicly celebrate the death of British soldiers abroad?

Erm excuse me i said i do not support the BNP or anything they stand for, nor extremists. I take offence that you can jump to such sick assumptions .
I meerly said taking away civil rights will get no one anywhere. It's called democracy, a lot of people died for us so we could have it, even if some people don't deserve it. You do realise by saying you should take away the civil rights of people, who believe in something different to you, is very very similar to the morals of people like the BNP ?
I can't get over your comment. It makes me sick you'd even suggest that.

So you'd defend the rights of a group that openly supports racism but not another group who just has a different opinion? If you support unconditional freedom of speech then you must support the rights of these extremists, yes?

It makes you sick? What are you on about?
