Jack Straw has gone up hugely in my estimation. He is going on BBC's flagship Question Time to debate the leader of the British National Party, Nick Griffin. This is a change of policy from previous years, where the Labour refused to debate the BNP in an attempt to deny them publicity. That has now failed, with the BNP gaining two European seats and a number of Council seats.
The best (and only) way to deal with these groups is to show them up as the racists they are. Instead of ignoring them and allowing their policies to go undebated, you have to take them on issue by issue and point out the grave deficiencies with their populist, racist policy. Most BNP voters, when shown the reality of what the BNP stands for, may think again about voting for them.
