But when I see five people - one of them the presenter of the show, at that - and essentially the entire audience ganging up on one guy, at times in rather poor taste (that one guy who thought he was still in primary school and made the "Dick, I'm sorry, Nick" joke), I'm going to have a lot more sympathy for the one guy than I would otherwise have. And Griffin played that part rather well, actually, what with shaking his head or sometimes laughing along at the remarks made at his expense. Now if I was already disgruntled and already feeling that all the major parties are almost the same and ruining the country between the lot of them, like I imagine a lot of British people are, then this would only confirm that impression, and only strengthen Griffin's position of underdog and anti-establishment vote.


I didn't say it was completely out there as a comment, just that I think it is heavily loaded, because it is, in my opinion, a clear attempt to influence people. Which it is, it self proves - British people are fair minded and would therefore disagree with the way Griffen was treated, therefore if you are a fairminded British person you think it was unfair.
