The station must have known what they were facing as their website had advertised this morning's mid-morning James Russell show as:
"This Wednesday on the mid-morning show...probably the most controversial interview ever on Scottish radio."
Mr Russell also described the scenes outside the station as peaceful, yet 3 people were arrested for breach of the peace offences, one also for resisting arrest. the BNP leader had faced a total of eight calls in the hour.
It's been a mixed week for Griffin following his appearance on Question Time. His own supporters either want him to resign as leader for failing to press the attack on air or are flooding the BBC forum with comments. But whatever the outcome his party didn't appear to get any bounce in the opinion poll either out of sympathy from the protests or for his performance on the show.

Ah well, perhaps we will now be free of the media frenzy round the BNP and recognise that while fascists of any persuasion still need to be confronted they remain a tiny and unpopular minority.
