Nick Griffin still to make formal complaint over Question Time

Griffin - yet to complain about his Question Time eggsperience (sorry)
BBC has received no official objection four weeks after BNP leader made controversial appearance on politics show

Almost a month after he vowed to make a complaint to the BBC about his controversial appearance on Question Time, BNP leader Nick Griffin has still to make an official objection. Despite Griffin vowing to lodge a complaint at what he claimed was the "unfair" way the Question Time programme was produced, the BBC has not received a formal complaint.

After he appeared on the BBC's flagship current affairs show in October, Griffin claimed he was treated unfairly by the panel and audience and complained that the show, filmed at Television Centre in London, was broadcast from a city which had changed beyond all recognition because of what he called uncontrolled immigration. "That was not a genuine Question Time; that was a lynch mob," he told Sky News.

A BNP spokesman also said at the time that it planned to put in "a freedom of information request to the BBC and programme-makers to ask about the process of changing the format of the whole programme". "[We want to know] why they felt they had to break with the usual format," the spokesman added.

However, BBC sources confirmed that the corporation has still not received an official objection from Griffin.

"There has still not been a complaint by him or the BNP and we are not aware of any freedom of information requests by him either," said one.

A BNP spokesman said he did not know what Griffin's plans were regarding any complaint: "I'm not sure. There are so many things going on at the moment, it may be that Nick's not done it yet."

He'll probably complain now. Didn't he say he's complained to the police about the original release of the BNP membership list but it was then found out weeks later that he hadn't? It wasn't until that was reported that he actually complained. Nick Griffin is just a fucking liar.

Don't think Griffin needs to complain to be honest. The public have done it for him.

Cyclops is a lazy egotistical bastard with no priorities at all. Many BNP members know this as fact but are blinkered by party loyalty to stay sitting on-board the deck of the titanic.

In the next general election, the BNP will be finished off by David Cameron and a resurgent Conservative Party just like in 1979 with the NF, who were never the same afterwards.

Yeah definately. But I don't think it is just the usual suspects. I think we need to understand that this didn't work out the way it was intended. I find it so frustrating because it doesn't seem to matter what is done, there seems to be a sea change going on. Delivering leaflets or marching through the streets doesn't seem to
work anymore.

The complaint has not yet been lodged because our team of highly-trained and skilled legal experts (Lee Barnes) are still working on the detail of the submission.

Or, at least he will get round to it when he's finished finding the source of Odin and writing crap poetry about dead sparrows.

Or whatever.
