BNP supporters to be in Question Time audience
The BBC is to include BNP supporters in the audience for Thursday'scontroversial edition of Question Time when the party's leader, Nick Griffin, will become the first far-right politician to appear on the programme.

Hundreds of party members are understood to have applied to watch the edition when it is filmed at BBC Television Centre in west London. A source said a number would be vetted and allowed to take part.

The disclosure is likely to inflame the heated debate about the corporation's decision to invite Griffin on to the BBC1 current affairs programme – a move anti-fascist campaigners say will confer legitimacy on the party.

It also creates the potential for clashes in the studio between BNP members and anti-racism groups who have also urged supporters to try to join the audience.
