Chris Huhne no nuclear power = Tory character assassination

[TonyGosling]

Tories stick knife into Chris Huhne.
LibDems no retaliation whatsoever.
Cameron the nuclear arms dealer - no trial - no sentence
Huhne dodges a speeding fine - national humiliation and character assassination - long jail stretch
Appaling that texts from Huhne's son are also read out

...The wisecracking Prime Minister persuaded donors to fund a Tory election war chest so he can rule without his Coalition partners in future with a series of barbs about the Liberal Democrats.
But he appeared to risk falling foul of contempt of court laws when he made a joke about the plight of Mr Huhne, who was forced to resign from the Cabinet after being charged with perverting the course of justice by allegedly using ex-wife Vicky Pryce to avoid a speeding fine.
Joking how he and wife Samantha had struggled to get to the fundraising bash, Mr Cameron said: ‘We were really worried we’d be late this evening. The traffic was terrible.
‘So we had to speed to get here on time. It’s a good job Samantha was driving – or at least, that’s what it says on the forms!’
Under contempt laws, it is an offence to suggest a person is guilty of a crime once they have been charged. The penalty for breaking this law includes jail. But experts said that while Mr Cameron may have flirted with a reprimand by Attorney General Dominic Grieve, his Huhne joke was not actionable.
One guest said: ‘It was very near the knuckle but it got a huge cheer and put everyone in the right mood for the auction.’
The Tories went to huge lengths to keep the black-and-white-themed party secret to avoid damaging headlines about ‘Tory fat cats’. Last year’s event caused controversy when The Mail on Sunday revealed how internships with top City firms were auctioned for thousands of pounds for the offspring of party donors. Internships were banned from this year’s auction, conducted by Sotheby’s chairman Henry Wyndham.
Instead, guests paid tens of thousands of pounds to take part in bloodsports on country estates. One such item alone went for £55,000 – a day’s shooting for eight guns on the Tusmore Park estate in North Oxfordshire, where ‘pheasants and partridges are the main quarry but duck can be shot as well’....

As Energy Secretary he was against nuclear power - but this brilliant attack on the BNP is an even more worrying motive for the character assassination and scapegoating of Chris Huhne

Chris Huhne: Griffin is trying to peddle hatred against Muslims

This was not a normal Question Time. When the BBC has someone with views as odious as Nick Griffin's on the panel, it is difficult to have a mainstream debate about what most people would think to be the pressing issues in Britain. The economy was not discussed, because the BNP has no blueprint for helping recovery. Reform of our broken politics was ignored, because the BNP has nothing to say on changing the system that has failed the British public.

The key method of Griffin was on display: pretend to be moderate and reasonable in order to garner support which would be revolted if it knew his real agenda. He was confronted with quotes from YouTube, in which he told David Duke of the Ku Klux Klan that the BNP had to move softly because the British people were not yet ready for talk of racial purity, so you talk about identity, freedom and security.

Underneath the media-trained veneer, the old racial politics was there. It is the same politics we have seen time and again through the decades: find a scapegoat and blame a minority for all our ills. Mosley and the British Union of Fascists blamed the Jews in the Thirties. Enoch Powell blamed the blacks in the Sixties and Seventies, and now Nick Griffin is trying to peddle hatred and fear against the Muslim community.

The programme was dominated by race and immigration with a small look-in for Jan Moir's homophobia in the Daily Mail. That did not do justice to the full and nasty nuttiness of the BNP's policy. Its last manifesto, for example, called for all people leaving the armed forces to keep an assault rifle at home. We would have another 5 million guns on the street and a Detroit-style murder rate.

There is nothing British about the BNP. Griffin's abhorrent opinions were subjected to a thorough examination. It should surprise no-one that they did not stand up to the most cursory of examinations.

It is ironic that when cornered on his denial of the holocaust Griffin was forced to falsely invoke EU law to stop himself from showing his true colours. The critics of allowing Nick Griffin on Question Time have not given the British public enough credit. This country has been built on tolerance, moderation and decency, and Griffin has been well and truly rumbled.
