BNP leader Nick Griffin could be given more TV airtime to peddle his vile views on high-profile programmes, a defiant BBC revealed yesterday.
He could be invited to appear again as a panellist on BBC1’s Question Time following his controversial appearance last week, said the Corporation’s deputy director general Mark Byford.
Anti-fascist campaigners warned against giving Griffin any more opportunities to air his extremist views.
Meanwhile, former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey urged Christians to reject the BNP and denounced Mr Griffin as “a squalid racist” who the BBC should not have invited on to the show. The former head of the Church of England said it was “chilling” to hear Mr Griffin claim to represent “Christian Britain”.
Mr Griffin had said that if Muslims wanted to stay in Britain they must accept it was “a fundamentally British and Christian country”.
Lord Carey called for “all Christians to stand shoulder-to-shoulder” in rejection of Nick Griffin’s notion that Christianity had anything to do with his views.
“This squalid racist must not be allowed to hijack one of the world’s great religions,” he said.
Lord Carey said he “tended to agree” that the BBC was wrong to give Mr Griffin the “oxygen of publicity”, even though he believed the leader had been exposed as “a 21st century pipsqueak heir to Hitler and Mosley”.
He added: “The BBC’s director-general errs in arguing that in a democracy all views should be heard. The views of the BNP are not simply false, they are dangerous, indeed irredeemably evil.”
Deputy director-general Mr Byford said yesterday that he had not yet received a formal complaint about Mr Griffin’s appearance.
“I think it was democracy in action and democracy working,” Mr Byford told BBC1’s Andrew Marr Show. He denied accusations the BBC had been chasing audience ratings. He said the BNP’s electoral support and its winning of two European Parliament seats in June meant the party fulfilled the criteria for an invitation.
He said Mr Griffin would not be a regular on Question Time but he could appear again from time to time.
The BNP was “not banned from the airwaves” he said, adding: “I don’t regret it. In fact I think the BBC has been shown to take due impartiality incredibly seriously.
“It’s the central value. It’s a minority party with a small share, so it’s not week-in, week-out or even month-in, month-out, but if they are an elected party that can fight elections and they get that support then the BBC thinks they should be invited.”
The Queen was said yesterday to be furious at the BNP for using Winston Churchill to promote its cause and she has ordered all royals to redouble their efforts against the BNP’s “un-British” bid to spread division.
A spokesman for anti-fascist group Searchlight said yesterday: “If the BBC invites him on again they will be moving from scrutiny of the BNP to outright promotion of the BNP. This is a party with no Parliamentary representation and minimal local government representation.’’
Mr Griffin has complained he had faced a “lynch mob” on the show and some in the BBC are said to have concerns that Griffin was not asked about issues other than race, immigration, Muslims and homosexuality.
