EXCLUSIVE: What was said in Question Time

First question on the Second World War. Is it fair BNP hijacked Churchill? Straw says in the war Britain defeated a party based on race like the BNP. The BNP defines itself by race – that distinguishes it from every other party. All other parties have a moral compass. Nazism didn’t and neither does the BNP. We only won the First and Second World War because we were joined by millions of black and Asian people. Applause.

Griffin then counters by saying Churchill would have been in BNP. He described Churchill as Islamaphobic by today’s standards. “The government is giving up on British freedom,” said Griffin.

An audience member says the BNP are an absolute disgrace. For just one minute think of the benefits black people people have brought to the UK. “You are trying to poison politics. What you stand for is disgusting.”  Huge applause. David Davis asks if he denied the Holocaust.
