British National Party General Election Broadcast 2010

The British National Partys television election broadcast was aired last night on all stations except Channel 4, which has demanded that it be censored, party leader Nick Griffin MEP has announced.

The BBC has also been less than co-operative this year, in contrast to previous years, Mr Griffin said, adding that this was to be expected after the publicly-funded corporation stepped up its bias and smears against the BNP in the last week.

The broadcast was approved by the BBC on Tuesday last week, Mr Griffin said. However, on Friday they decided that they wanted a few petty edits, such as more blurring of peoples faces on street scenes.

The late timing of the changes was obviously designed to make it as difficult as possible for the BNP to make the changes, Mr Griffin said.

However, our people stayed up all night and made the slight technical changes, and made the broadcast deadline once again.

All the TV stations have now approved the broadcast except Channel 4 which demanded new edits on Monday, a few hours before the broadcast time.

These demands are of course impossible to fulfil at this late stage and Channel 4 has effectively censored the BNP broadcast by refusing to let it be aired, Mr Griffin continued.

It is obviously a political decision, because they were very abusive and rude to our staff member who dealt with the broadcast, he added.

Mr Griffin also reiterated that jars of marmite were never included in the BNPs TV broadcast.
