First Response Nick Griffin vs Keith Allen Channel 4



At 9:04am I've finally managed to get to the end of that Channel 4 - Keith Allen vs Nick Griffin programme from last night. I can see now, in the grand scheme of things, why Channel 4 took an internal political decision to delay the broadcast for an unprecedented twelve months.

Overall, about 90% of the content was worthwhile watching from a serious political aspect. I thought Mr Allen embarked on a genuine and honest approach in tackling opinions that contrasted with his own so profoundly. How much he had to do with the infantile and insulting graphics and the prerequisite, politically-correct topping and tailing of the package is unknown.

I'll return to this later on today, but for the time being I have to concentrate on next week's plenary votes in Strasbourg. Before that, whilst praising Channel 4 for screening this it doesn't say much for the credibility of the liberal media as a whole; some of the most pressing issues our nation has ever faced, never even mentioned or only  in secret, on late night TV "fetish" slots.

As for the timing, well, with the predictable and seemingly obligatory BNP doom and gloom chapter at the very end, for those of us in the know, we can just laugh at yet another liberal wet dream.
