Gordon Brown said this about Nick Griffins appearance on Question Time: "If, on Question Time, they are asked about their racist and bigoted views that are damaging to good community relations, it will be a good opportunity to expose what they are about."
Russell Brand wrote an article for the sun and said: "I suppose if you're of the view that extremists are fundamentally wrong then there's no harm in popping them on the telly and letting them gurgle up their chuckle-brained hate-broth". Russell Brand has views on the BNP because a few years ago he made a programme called RE: Brand and had an episode called "Nazi Boy" where he met and spoke with Mark Collett, who at the time was the leader of the young BNP. In this programme Collett is openly racist and homophobic. He openly calls gay men "AIDS monkeys".
Justice Secretary Jack Straw commented on the BNP and their use of Winston Churchill in their campaigns: "How dare he say that Churchill's "own place would be in the BNP"?... he came out with his extraordinary rant at the distinguished former army generals who had called for the BNP to stop using Britain's military tradition to promote the politics of racism and extremism".
