. . . you mean for the BBC Bear Baiting . . . where they changed the usual format and made Griffin the issue rather than adddress the usual cross section of issues.

Don’t get me wrong . . . I am certianly no BNP supporter

The problem is that Griffin was savaged, and people love to champion the under dog. Presumably this will only increase his party’s popularity.

“why not remember the old adage ‘my enemies enemy is my friend.’ ”

I don’t know about you but someone who describes themselves as a ‘Conservative muslim’ and who votes in favour of discrimination against me, is NOT my friend.

If Warsi was to face an audience of people who believe in legal and social equality for people regardless of their sexual orientation, then I can assure you, she would have come across as bigotted as Nick Griffin.

I reckon she HAD to say she supported some sort of legal rights for gay couples who want to formalise their relationships, as otherwise she would have appeared to be siding with Nick Griffin. And the agenda of last night’s show for the panellists was to stay united in their opposition to Griffin.

Loathesome as he is I am sort of surprised at how incoherent, uncomfortable and unprepared Nick Griffin was on the show.

“Creepy”
* Lets unpack his choice of words
* Lets get to the heart of his euphemistic turns of phrase
* Lets make explicit what underlies his hatred of LGBT people

1.Creepy – To move or advance slowly or stealthy, or to move or grow slowly along the ground (Chambers Dictionary)

What is in his mind? . . . Presumably the stereotype that all gay men want to seduce heterosexual men, and or corrupt children.

2.Creepy – To have the physical sensation of something creeping over or under the skin: to shudder. (Chambers Dictionary)

What is in his mind? . . . Presumably repulsion, built on the stereotype of contagion in which LGBT people are seen as polluting diseased or abnormal.

However, I agree with the comments here on Warsi. The tories were scrapping the barrel with that old trout.

With all the sniping at mainstream parties we’re letting the BMP in through the back door with their friends the NF and Combat 18.

Grow the hell up folks and wake the hell up or we’ll sleepwalk into the work camps.

Warsi styles her self as a “Conservative Muslim”

When any one styles them self with a religious prefix or suffix this is euphemistic language.

. . . Paul exactly – as if we cannot see through her defensiveness on Question Time with regards Civil Partnerships

Defensive against what . . . exactly!!!

. . . The fact that she has more in common with Nick Griffin than she will admit.

Until the major parties sort out immigration and stop calling anyone who objects to the UK’s open door policy a racist, then the BNP, as repulsive as they are, will continue to get votes.

This sounds as if she doesn’t support civil partnerships as presently constituted but is prepared to concede something less. Once again my fear is fuelled (as it was when my local Tory candidate, Mark Nolan, said he favoured tax breaks for married couples but not civil partnerships, before he backtracked when I reminded him of Cameron’s pledge to maintain parity between them)that under the Conservatives we’d see, not a direct abolition of civil partnerships, but a whittling away, bit by bit. “Nice Dave wouldn’t do that”? Nice Dave might die or be ousted.
