BNP leader Nick Griffin given debate platform at Trinity College Dublin | The Jewish Chronicle
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but this could be an interesting night in Trinity. I'm not a fan of Griffin has been quite impressive on the rare occasions that he gets television coverage.
The Mahon Tribunal found Olivia Mitchell to have received an inappropriate payment from Frank Dunlop at the time of the 1992 Election. F.G. Gael has taken no action against her.
Read the Jewish Chronicle a lot Keith?
Anyhow, inviting a foreigner to come talk about immigration, lovely

Is ait an mac an saol.
Regardless of his media performance, I dont believe any dues can be paid to this man. He was an acolyte of people like Colin Jordan and John Tyndall who were out an out Nazis. He has been open about his prior willingness to deny the Holocaust. He was part of a movement that openly welcomed Combat 18.
The guy is not a nice man, and his ideology is not very nice either.
They also invited Fred Phelps on one occasion. An invite from trinity alas is no indication of the quality, as opposed to the controversy, of the invitee.

I'm all for giving Nick Griffin the freedom of expression to verbally hang himself.

How ironic

Awww..how lovely...our immigrant scum is at long last coming home, welcome back Ó Gríobhtha!
The recurring 'freedom of speech' who-ha that happens in Trinity. I remember when David Irving - the dingbat Holocaust denier, passing himself off as a 'historian' -came to speak at the 'Hist'. Enormous uproar and tension. Of course it would have been much more powerful if everybody (Edit: "if we", I played my part in that circus too) just ignored the clown.
