I generally try and avoid politics on the interweb. Whenever I do, I resort to childish name calling or immature pranks.
But when I discovered that Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP, was to appear on Question Time (Thursday 22nd October 2009 at 10:35 BBC1), I considered writing a thoughtful piece on whether we should give a platform to someone who would deny us that same freedom of speech.
Then I thought “Fuck it” and decided it would be more fun to play a drinking game while watching the programme.
I suggested the idea to people on Twitter and this list has been compiled with the glorious help of @nuttycow, @unslugged, @flukewoman, @piersb, @WGallagher, @davidskynner, @WellTold, @adamfishpoet, @matt_davies and @antonvowl
Drink One Finger If:
Nick Griffin mentions any of the words or phrases:
“Immigration”
“Ordinary People”
“Democratically Elected”
“Indigenous”
“War”
“Churchill”
“Our Troops”
“Dunkirk”
Somebody in the panel or the audience receives a round of applause for calling him bigoted/foolish/a Nazi tossbag/insert your own amusing but accurate insult here.
Drink Two Fingers If:
Somebody asks why Nick Griffin keeps banging on about Dunkirk when we lost that one.
Nick Griffin is accused of being racist
Nick Griffin accuses that person of being a Stalinist
Drink Three Fingers If:
Nick Griffin moans about how television isn’t as good as it used to be. What happened to ‘The Black & White Minstrel Show’ and ‘Love Thy Neighbour’?
He breaks into a version of ‘I Will Survive’
Down All Drinks If:
He attempts a comedy foreign accent.
Feel free to add your own!

How about if he labels himself/BNP “legitimate”?
Drink a finger:
“political correctness”
Chug your drink:
“Gordon Clown”
One finger:
“Liberal conspiracy”
“Militant feminists” (or similar)
One finger if he says:
“Pigging politicians” (then something about a trough)
“Bureaucrats in Brussels”
“Violent far-left”
Two fingers if he says:
“politically correct” (while talking about something which isn’t political correctness)
Two Fingers:
“Sharia Law”
Three Fingers:
“Islamification of Britain”
I am going to be soooo muntered.
Oh, and one finger every time he turns another shade of orange.

“British culture” will lead to extreme drunkenness…
THIS should be fun!!!
Can I opt to just get smashed without the bother of watching that odious little p***k?
One finger if he says: “Coming over hear, taking our jobs.”
Two fingers if he says: “Coming over hear, taking our jobs, sleeping with our women.”
Three fingers if he says: “I’m sure Polish builders are very nice people, I just don’t want one in my house.”
Any time Griff says “Lib-Lab-Con-spiracy” you have to shout TWAT, drink two fingers, and call 141 0800 008 6191.
Oh please, please let him do a comedy foreign accent…
One Finger
Member of the audience decides to lay into him instead of asking a question.
Two Fingers
Said member of the audience has to be removed by security staff.
Oh Christ. We ARE all going to be shit-faced a few minutes in, aren’t we?
One finger: “European dictatorship”
Two fingers: “Ethnic identity”
Three fingers: “Holo-hoax”
Chug drink: Somebody throws egg/rancid meat/rotting vegetables at Griffin.
One finger: If he uses a condescending voice towards members of the panel whilst accusing them of “wilfully misrepresenting” the basic principles of the BNP.
Two fingers: “Our party is reviewing the membership policy.” Bonus points if any of the panel question just how long it’ll be ‘in review’ for (til all the non-Whites stop trying to join).
Three fingers: “Being proud of your country doesn’t make you racist.” Bonus finger if anyone shouts back anything relating to the fact that denying the holocaust and encouraging racial violence does.
Four fingers and a cheer: Any reference to his party being oppressed by a media conspiracy of Jews/non-Whites/Liberals/Lefties/Pinkos/ArmyGenerals.
Love this article, btw, Dave
One finger.
If he can explain to everyones satisfaction his reason for using a picture of a Spitfire flown by a pilot from the Polish Squadron (303) on the cover of his recent anti-immigration leaflet.
Brilliant, but you obviously have too much time on your hands..:)

[...] – again, if Twitter is to be believed – Question Time parties and there’s even a Nick Griffin drinking game that I’m sure is going to be de rigeur in certain circles [...]
Hahaha this looks like fun
I suggest 1 finger for “Islamofascists”, “freedom of speech” or “anti white racism”, 2 fingers for if he says about anti fascist groups such as UAF “they’re the real fascists”
I’m confused. The BNP is bad because they allegedly oppose free speech. So the Left responds by…opposing free speech. Therefore making the Left just as fascist as they claim the BNP is.
Fascinating.
I don’t believe I’ve ever opposed the BNP’s right to free speech.
I’ve always agreed with Evelyn Beatrice Hall’s statement of “I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death your right to say it”
But I will also fight for my right to take the piss.
Oooh! Let me have a go…
Two fingers if he: lies about all his manifesto pledges, starts an illegal war and sends hundreds of young men to their death, sells his party out to big tobacco and the nuclear lobby, increases crime, widens the poverty gap and sells all the gold at a historical low.
Oh, hang on…

You may as well have a number of beer kegs linked together and never stop drinking until the show is over.
