Nick Griffin’s verdict on Chris Huhne
by Stephen Tall on October 22, 2009
Ahead of tonight’s BBC1 Question Time – featuring the BNP leader Nick Griffin – The Guardian reports his verdicts on his fellow panellists. Here’s what he said about Chris Huhne, the L:ib Dems’ shadow home secretary:
Big hitter. Menzies Campbell would have been more daunting.”
And here’s what he said about the other panellists:
Bonnie Greer, American playwright and critic: “The joker in the pack; knows how to look after herself and may be more of a handful than the others.”
Jack Straw, justice secretary: “A very effective advocate.”
Sayeeda Warsi, Tory community cohesion spokesman: “Token Asian, Muslim woman on the Conservative team. They were always likely to play a stunt like that.”
