Boycotting Total Politics is juvenile and narrow-minded

Posted 14 Mar 2010 by Walaa Idris

The Left Wing Blogs condemning interviews with Nick Griffin and threatening to boycott Total Politics, on the face of it is very childish and immature – how else can you describe a juvenile attitude to a serious issue!

But, going deeper and looking back at Nick Griffin’s first appearance in the BBC’s Question Time and the fuss government officials made [Cabinet minister Peter Hain asked the BBC to rethink its invitation to Mr. Griffin – and former London Mayor Ken Livingston said ‘the BBC would bear moral responsibility for any “spike” in racist attacks’ – even Labour backbenchers were outraged; Diane Abbott ‘told a BBC’s Breakfast programme that Question Time was the wrong platform for the BNP.’] a pattern starts to emerge.

With all their equality bills, social engineering and Political correctness agendas the Left is inherently imbalanced and divisive not to mention rigid and unyielding – the attitude ‘my way or the high way’ might sometimes work but mostly it does not, besides in this particular situation it is the wrong approach to take.

In the case of the BNP (I do not belief I am blogging on them again today) not talking with them and not exposing the real them is totally the wrong action. Especially as they are a legal organization under the laws of this land – and as such they should have the same airtime and share the same platforms similar organizations share.

Silence will never banish the BNP away, but dissecting them definitely will!

Hi Walaa, on this score I am with you, I cant beleive that this boycott is seriously thought of as something that will teach the BNP a thing or two. If you dont like someones politics then challenge them. The idea that one-eyed Nick is so charasmatic that people will sign up to his party in droves is absurd.
