Nick Griffin, leader of the far-right British National Party - and the most successful far-right politician in British politics since Oswald Mosley in the 1930s - has taken part in the BBC's flagship TV political programme, Question Time.
Griffin claims he came away from Television Centre happy with his performance last night.
But did the panel and the audience expose the weaknesses of his argument and the hatred behind his ideology?
With me to give their reaction are Riazat Butt, the Guardian's religious affairs correspondent, and Simon Woolley, director of Operation Black Vote.
And Nicholas Watt, our chief political correspondent, assesses the programme's significance in the BNP's trajectory from the fringes and into the mainstream of British politics.
