Should fascist/far right political parties be allowed air time on national television?
On the 22nd October 2009 Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP, will appear on Question Time which is a show where the public gets to ask questions to politicians live on TV. Normally each of the 3 main parties, New Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats each have a panel member but the fact the blatently racist and fascist party will be getting airplay and will try to glamourize their ideology when really they are a fascist group that manage to inciting racial hatred!

Fascism may be considered far-right in Europe (where Socialism is the middle ground and Communism is far-left). But in America, Fascism would have been considered far-left before FDR became president... now Fascism is the middle ground. God damn. Also, in America, yes, everyone should be allowed to explain their views as long as the company that owns that station allows it. In the end, it is up to the owner of the station (unless it's a government channel, which in this case they CAN NOT censor unless the subject of the station is not political). Side: yes
