Dominic Carman, Liberal Democrat candidate for Barking
BNP leader Nick Griffin pulled out of a BBC tv debate when he discovered that Dominic Carman is the Lib Dem Parliamentary candidate for Barking.
The BBC Politics Show was set to interview four of the Barking candidates together in a 20 minute live show. Griffin initially agreed. But after it was announced that Dominic Carman, who was Griffin's biographer, is to stand for the Lib Dems at the General Election, Mr Griffin quickly pulled out and ran away from the debate.
The Politics Show debate between the main three Barking candidates went ahead on the BBC on Sunday 6th March - without Nick Griffin.
