As protesters bay outside BBC, Nick Griffin insists 'I am not a Nazi'

The BNP leader Nick Griffin was repeatedly pilloried and criticised on the BBC's Question Time tonight when he was dubbed the "Dr Strangelove" of British politics after attempting to claim the mantle of Winston Churchill and struggling to explain his denial of the Holocaust.

In passionate exchanges on the BBC's flagship current affairs programme, a black member of the audience accused Griffin of "completely disgusting" behaviour as he was forced to explain why he had met a Ku Klux Klan leader and attacked Islam.

Griffin was booed when he walked into the studio for the show's recording a few hours before it was broadcast at 10.35pm.

A police helicopter hovered over the BBC Television Centre in west London while the recording took place, after 25 anti-fascist demonstrators had earlier broken through police lines to get into the foyer. Up to 1,000 demonstrators protested outside as television centre was "locked down" during an operation in which three police officers were injured.
