Members and supporters of the British National Party are encouraged to attend the next Mayor’s Question Time at the GLA on December 16th.
Richard Barnbrook will be following up on the response he received to a previous question about the violent disorder of the establishment’s pet thugs, the UAF, at BBC Television Centre prior to Nick Griffin’s appearance on question time.
Question by Richard Barnbrook
Will the Mayor condemn the disgraceful violence and disorder perpetrated by the Unite Against Fascism organisation outside the BBC’s Broadcasting House following Mr Nick Griffin’s lawful invitation onto that evening’s Question Time programme? This behaviour resulted in three police officers being injured. Many politicians and public figures are signatories to this UAF organisation. And will the Mayor ask the Commissioner of the MPS to ban such an assembly should the BBC invite Mr Griffin onto the show at some future date?
Answer by Boris Johnson
The disorder was actually outside Television Centre, not Broadcasting House. I believe that it was counter-productive in the fight against the offensive views of Nick Griffin and the BNP. It diverted the media’s interest away from scrutinising the unpleasantness of Mr. Griffin’s party and only succeeded in giving him even more publicity. I have no intention of banning legal protests against the BNP. I believe in the freedom of speech.
Apparently Mayor Boris supports freedom of speech, so long as it is leftist thugs exerting their freedom. Can you imagine Boris saying the same if and angry crowd of BNP supporters had stormed the BBC in protest against any of his establishment chums?
Come along and show Richard your support at the next Mayor’s Question. Please be at the GLA building (City Hall), adjacent to the south side of Tower Bridge by 9.30am. Mayoral questions start at 10am.
