The Two-Stroke Engine of Brian Wilson Sat Jun 14, 2025 07:00 | James Alexander
"I don?t mean to do a man down on the occasion of his death," says Professor James Alexander, "but the Beach Boys were either insanely cheerful, or maudlin with thin self-pity." Was Brian Wilson overrated?

Protest at BBC Broadcasting House in Belfast!

Youth Against Racism has organised a protest against the BBC's invitation to the far-right, racist BNP to participate in Question Time. The protest will take place at 5.30pm on Thursday 15th October outside BBC Broadcasting House, Ormeau Avenue, Belfast.

The BBC have offered the BNP a platform on Question Time. The far-right BNP won 2 seats in the recent European elections. This party is attempting to develop a respectable image, but their core is out-right fascism. Their founder called Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' his 'Bible' and Nick Griffin, the current leader, regularly denied the Holocaust.

Paddy Meehan of Youth Against Racism said:-
'It is disgraceful that the BBC is offering the racist BNP a platform from which to put forward their lies. This party's aim is purely and simply to stoke up racial tensions which they seek to exploit, by scapegoating immigrants and ethnic minorities for the lack of jobs and social housing

'Where they are given a platform, it gives confidence to racists and fascists to carry out attacks. We must fight to stop them being allowed to speak on Question Time. That is why Youth Against Racism has organised this protest, in solidarity with those campaigning on the same issue in England'.

'We call on all young people, trade unionists and community activists to mobilise for this demonstration, and send the message loud and clear that we don't want the BNP on our airwaves.'

The protest is to take place outside BBC Broadcasting House on Ormeau Avenue, Belfast, at 5.30pm on Thursday 15th October, a week before the BNP are due to appear.
