This was always the risk, and Diane Abbot said that the programme may well be seen differently outside of London (which Griffin does not class as a British city because it’s full of “darkies”, no doubt).
The sample size for the survey was 1,314 - any statisticians like to explain how such a small number can be trusted to indicate a national picture of several million voters?

| Quote: The BNP claims 3,000 people registered to join the party during and after the broadcast. | |

So, the debate rumbles on. Has the BBC cocked up here?
EDIT: I have copied this over to the other thread. Can a mod lock this one as it’s a dupe? Ta.
