He was very very average. Not a great mind, not a great orator, not a great advert for his party. Weak on the holocaust. Confused on religion. Unconvincing on immigration. Unsure of himself on anything else.

He had one or two well rehearsed sound bites but lets face it his politics were mainstream as recently 35 years ago. For many Tories and a fair few in the Labour movement his form of bigotry would have been second nature in the 70s. This is not the NF of Martin Webster (what happened to him?), Lady Birdwood et al.

Of course Griffin is very much to the Far Right what Cameron is to the rank and file Tory mentality - the vanilla version of the true rank n file position. I am also quite sure he is right when he says he is hated by British Nazis. He is the Kenny G of Nazis, so keen to appear a reasonable middle-grounder that he ceases to have any real meaning as a public figure other than as a pinata for the far left.

The BBC did right to let him on as that is what 1m votes buys you and, lets face it, he has fewer and less serious convictions on his record than some serving MPs.

It wont win him many votes. It wont lose him many votes. Anyone hoping that he would sprout horns and start eating babies would have been disppointed.

The protesters should have stayed at home with a good book.
