I thought it might be useful for you to understand our thinking editorially on this matter.<br /><br />The BNP was given airtime because we're an impartial newsgathering organisation. It's our job to examine all political parties and put their representatives on the spot with fair and firm questioning. Impartial journalism and censorship do not sit happily together. We believe in getting the facts and the arguments out there for people to decide - not in judging what is "right" or "wrong" in a political context - that's for you to do. The BNP are not an illegal party - they enjoy electoral support and have elected representatives. It is the BBC's job to properly examine all legitimate political parties that operate within the law and for which people clearly vote. <br /><br />This may surprise you, but a great many texts we received yesterday - were broadly supportive of the BNP. Over time it's evident from following our listeners that the party touches a nerve of support or interest. The large pile of texts on my desk raise issues around immigration, political correctness and an apparent frustration with mainstream politics that means the BNP, or at least some of their policies, appeals to some people. It's also clear that not much is known about the party's policies beyond immigration and race which is something we were keen to explore - and did.<br /><br />We put to Nick Griffin some of the texts we received including sentiments as tough as "you're a disgrace" and "how do you sleep at night?". Debbie Randle's handling of the interview was extremely rigorous and the bulk of the tough questions she asked were inspired by or directly quoted listeners themselves. <br /><br />I hope you will understand that one of purposes of journalism in a democratic society is to explore and question - raising at times subjects some may find distasteful or shocking. <br /><br />Thanks again for taking the time and trouble to contact us.<br /><br />Yours sincerely<br /><br />Rod McKenzie<br />Editor<br />BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat - 1Xtra News <br /><br /><br />WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-30479840207406965052009-10-01T20:52:20.891+01:002009-10-01T20:52:20.891+01:00You'll never guess you I had in the back of my...You'll never guess you I had in the back of my cab the other day...<br /><br />The twitcher of the BNP, Simon Darby by any chance?Brummienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-81255240587645649972009-10-01T20:14:27.310+01:002009-10-01T20:14:27.310+01:00"On the other hand, migrants such as the hous..."On the other hand, migrants such as the house martin, who seem to arrive first in the south east..."<br /><br />Yeah, those bloody Housemartins, Comin' here, taking our jobs, chatting up our women, cooking their smelly food, send 'em all back I say, yadda, yadda yadda.<br /><br />You'll never guess you I had in the back of my cab the other day...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-3089231203001139152009-10-01T19:40:25.519+01:002009-10-01T19:40:25.519+01:00Read this, about Boris Johnson's appearance on...Read this, about Boris Johnson's appearance on Eastenders:<br /><br />http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8284316.stm<br /><br />A dossier needs to be compiled of right wing bias on our state broadcaster and sent to the Department for Culture Media and Sport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-55512607633807896182009-10-01T19:23:49.370+01:002009-10-01T19:23:49.370+01:00What amazes me most is why they weren't asked ...What amazes me most is why they weren't asked what it is that makes them think white people are an endangered species.

They seem to use coded language, buzz words, double-meanings and inferences so that it's difficult for mere mortals to get the gist of what they're trying to say.<br /><br />I suppose that one of the downsides of being a closet fascist party.
