Ofcom drafts plans to give the BNP more broadcast time

A consultation paper from the broadcasting regulator Ofcom proposes that minority parties such as the BNP be given more Party Election Broadcasts and that those broadcasts could be shown during peak viewing hours.

Ofcom’s review of the Rules on party Political and Referendum Broadcasts states that one of the most significant changes of the proposal would be “to provide for greater flexibility, so that registered parties other than designated major parties may qualify for a series of broadcasts, and peak-time scheduling, if evidence of their electoral support at a particular election or in a relevant area means it would be appropriate to do so.”

Nothing British is sad at the thought that the BNP will get more airtime, but considers it inevitable so long as the BNP scores successes in the election.

Eric Pickles MP, Conservative Party Chairman, has blasted the plan:

“The Government’s broadcasting quango has lost the plot. In its blind pursuit of ‘equality’, it wants to give the oxygen of publicity to extremists who do not have substantive electoral support. The public will be appalled that more airtime will given to the British National Party to peddle their propaganda and undermine community relations. Elections should be open, fair and accessible, but parties without broad-based public backing shouldn’t be given extra state support.”

Eric Pickles is absolutely right to be concerned, but in light of the BNP’s 7% share of the popular vote and the increased broadcast time the BNP has already recieved, the three major political parties must be prepared to confront them as they receive greater opportunities to air their abhorrent views.

    That’s nice, you will have more to report on.
    If you believe in equality then you have to practise what you preach, Eric!

    What exactly are these abhorrent views of the BNP? That immigration should be controlled? That the white working classes have been neglected? Those views are quite mainstream now.

    So does this mean the Greens get more time than the BNP? if we look at the numbers the Green Party got more votes than the BNP?

    BNP 945,000
    Green Party 1.2 million

    And for that matter UKIP have 13 EU MEP’s so do they get more time still?

    Not that I support any of the above, but just asking the question.

    What is wrong with propoganda? All parties employ it. No one should complain about the BNP getting airtime to get it’s message across; they are hardly advocating sedition, treason, revolution or violence.

    ‘We’, the public, are somewhat more mentally robust than you give us credit for. ‘We’ are not ‘appalled’ in the slightest Mr.Pickles.

    The drink, named “Tactical Nuclear Penguin” is so strong that it should be served in small measures usually reserved for spirits.

    Its maker, BrewDog brewers of Fraserburgh described the 32 per cent proof tipple as its “most audacious and ambitious project to date”.

    I’m ordering several crates immediately! :)

    Yes “Nanny State” is only about 1% but it is truly horrible. Or maybe that’s why it is horrible! It is ferociously bitter. I think that a lot of them are limited editions. The beers aren’t nice in the way of “Old Speckled Hen” and “Hobgoblin” – type beers/ales.

    Eric Pickles is an idiot, he’s always been an idiot and, he always will be an idiot. He is the type of politician that will always feature well in ‘Nothing British’ because he say’s just what NB wishes to hear. To say that the public are appalled that Nick Griffin and the BNP are to get more air time is just typical of the stupidity of the man, 8 million viewers watched Griffin on Question Time which hardly appears to reflect an appalled public. Who can possibly take the Conservatives seriously when they have such uninformed plonkers in the party?

    What a shock for the likes of Warsi. They think they are so clever but they haven’t got a scooby about what’s really going on.
    Eric Pickles et al are just running scared the electorate, deprived of endless borrowed money just aren’t playing ball anymore over the multi-cultural dream!

    Hmmm now when your in a place like Iraq or Afghanistan a muslim soldier would be a considerable asset assuming he spoke a different language or has an insight into the culture of these places. It could be argued he would be more use than say a White soldier like yourself who speaks one language poorly and has no respect or understanding for other cultures. I do really hope you are one of the extra troops thats getting sent out and there there is an IED out there with your name on it …. lol

    hahaha WTF my mate has a house in Turkey so nipped over to get away from the christmas bollox. Id love to go to the stans again though. I really enjoyed it last time, but its way to dangerous at the moment. Besides an orange boiler suit wouldnt really suit my complexion. lol.
    Actually id like to retract the IED thing because he may be stood in the vicinity of the many good people that serve in our armed forces. An aimed shot would be better for him lol. in the knackers :)
    Im fishing for work in the new year and Khazakstan is on the list. Plenty of money for expats its fairly safe apart from the soviets used it as a Uranium dump and the stuff was just tipped off the back of trucks as it was no containers no warnings no burial etc. Thatll teach you to want independance from the mighty soviet union lol.
    As for the “presents” if i need them i dont have to travel to the stans….

    Nah it was all put beyond use and verified independantly. But the supply line is always there i suppose the will to use it isnt anymore. They have what they wanted, well most of it. Political aims have to shift and evolve, look at the BNP they are gonna have non white members and one day a non white chairman.
