Yes, and yes.

<< Course you guys have a different circumstance with the former

I don't know about a website, but there was quite a good article in
the Guardian at the time, pointing out the culpability of New Labour
and their "race-baiting rhetoric", including figures such as Jack
Straw, one of Griffin's co-panellists when he appeared on Question
Time. Straw gave a good little mini-speech at the start of QT, but of
course the other side of the coin is that he is part of a Government
whose actions have been central in fuelling the current situation:

"The issue of whether the BNP should be given this kind of airtime has
been debated extensively elsewhere in these pages. But there is little
doubt that once the BNP is on Question Time, Jack Straw – or indeed
anyone in the New Labour hierarchy – is in no position to take the
fight to it. The same is true for most of the rest of the British
political establishment that will be represented on the panel – they
have either actively colluded or passively acquiesced in the political
trajectory of the past decade."

It's just one side of a hugely complex issue, but it is certainly a
pertinent one.
