| Liberty comment on BNP appearance on Question Time23 Oct 2009 Human rights group Liberty responded to the hatred exposed by British National Party leader Nick Griffin on BBC1's Question Time last night. Shami Chakrabarti, Director of Liberty said:
"Our thanks and respect must go to the Chair and democratic panelists for the difficult job they did. But as so often on this programme, the Question Time audience were the real stars. Liberty was founded, 75 years ago when fascism was on the rise.
"Last night the leader of Britain's modern fascist party was exposed for the nervous lying Nazi that he so clearly is. Common values and decency run very deep in Britain - as long as we hold onto them, this party of hate will never pose a credible threat."
