Nick Griffin is in the position he is in because no one is allowed to talk about the immigration issue as it is deemed by many as racist. Until, as iaineasy says, they are given enough rope to hang themselves, they will remain, judging by the TV ratings, a powerful force. Immigration policies in my opinion, should be debated openly and fairly, and not by a bunch of right or left wing thugs but by the population at large. The sooner the better say I.
