Anyway, the disappearance of this councillor and the failure of Griffin to take advantage of widespread press coverage are two unrelated events.

If they had a decent strategist, he’d have told him to button up on race etc. and talk about “regular” policies for a change. Thankfully, he’s not had that advice; fingers crossed he’ll carry on in the same vein tonight and dig himself a hole he’ll never get out of.

Do you really think this is the case?

I would suggest the exact opposite, most BNP members are probably ecstatic that Nick Griffin is appearing on Question Time knowing that the huge publicity they are receiving can only benefit the party.

Also, this sort of event is, thankfully, not uncommon as the BNP still lacks a middle layer of talented individuals in the party who are prepared to be councillors and put the work in so. A substantial chunk of their councillors are elected then either do very little or quit shortly afterwards.
