BNP win right to appear stupid on Question Time

There will be a new face on Question Time making emphatic hand gestures and spouting sentences devoid of anything resembling content: that of the British National Party. They join the more mainstream parties in giving bland answers to the public's questions and refusing to engage with anything that might interfere with predetermined policy. "Coming on Question Time is an important part of an MP's duty," said Alan Duncan, "plus if you're lucky, you might get to sit next to Will Young. Last time, it was only Trevor McDonald. Boring."

The head of the British National Party, Nick Griffin, is delighted at the news. "Finally, this will give us the chance to showcase our views. Up until now, we've been ignored just because we still think that we're in the 1930s. We want to show that we are just as out of touch with reality as other political parties. Perhaps even more so." By way of proving this, Griffin set out one of his party's main aims. "We want to keep this country for the indigenous people of this country, the people who first settled here. Like druids. As well as banshees, warlocks, pixies, sprites and orgres."

One such druid Andromedus Bull gave his support to the far right's plans. "It's about time someone stood up for us. Those sorcerers, they come over here, they take our jobs. And our runes. Are they paying tithes? Are they paying tithes? No, it's up to us, the honest, decent, hard-working tithe payer. This kingdom. I remember a time in this kingdom when you could frollick in a glade, perhaps with a flagon of mead. Can you do that now? No. Be it not PC, hay nonny nonny. I tell you what, it's the feudal system gone mad."
