22.47 - Bonnie Greer is American. I didn't realise that. She says her background is in culture and "knows nothing about politics". She comes across pretty well, though, despite her normalcy.
22.49 - We're still on Churchill. Will this QT be entirely about the BNP? Chris Huhne brings up Griffin's past quote about Hitler "going a bit too far". He wants to know which bit. Gassing the jews? Griffin says it's another misquote. He looks like he's enjoying himself. Dimbleby tells him to stop smiling.
22.52 - Griffin gets up Greer's nose by admitting that he's shared a platform with a Ku Klux Klan speaker. It goes down very, very badly.
22.53 - The panel members have all done plenty of homework. They keep bringing up quotes from the BNP constitution and website.
22.55 - Griffin drops the ball pretty tragically, saying that he "cannot tell you why I said these things". To be fair, he's making a point about the illegality of holocaust denial. Griffin says he's "changed his mind" about that, by the way.
22.57 - "Why is Islam a wicked and vicious faith?" asks an audience member? Griffin kicks off, smartly, by pointing out Islam's record on the treatment of women.
22.59 - We are a "fundamentally British and Christian" country, says NN, founded on Western principles that are incompatible with the Koran. Probably incompatible with the Bible too, I would have thought.
