I just cringed my way through the last hour. Thank God for wine.

Their personal nightmare must be for a few non race/foreigners/immigration questions to come up and Griffin to get first dibs at answering a couple - if he says something that's broadly in line with either current policy or a government proposal or even just something that a Laborg figure has said is a good idea then they're in a difficult position. Do they attack it and give Griffin the chance to point out that something similar has come from the Laborg ranks, or do they agree with him and risk guilt by association? Avoiding having to share airtime with the guy at all would have been the best option, and up till now it's worked fine for them.

Free speech is only for the <i>bien pensants</i>. In the authoritarians' ideal world the hoi polloi would be told when, and for whom, their dreary little ballots should be cast. QT hasn't been a respectable piece of political knockabout since one of the ancestral Dimblebys (heraldic office: Gold Microphone-in-Waiting) took it over and helped steer it into being a semi-regular Labour party political broadcast.

I am afraid this is a chattering classes real time Internet hullaballoo about pretty much nothing other than inflated opinions. But something better happen at the QT Corral tonight, or Stephen Fry gets it...
