Nick Griffin's disastrous appearance on Question Time landed taxpayers with a £143,000 security bill.
That's how much police spent dealing with protesters outside BBC Television Centre, closing roads, and using a helicopter to keep the nutty neo-Nazi numero uno safe.
I think that most sane people will be horrified to find out that so much public money has been spent giving the no-Nazi party their best-ever publicity.
However, on balance I think it was money well-spent to show everyone, what an odious little tic the man was and how his neo-Nazi party is really the heir to Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists.
"I'm not an extremist. I'm a national socialist".
"I read Mein Kampf... there are some really useful ideas there".
And my all-time favourite: "Yes, Adolf went a bit too far... It just creates a bad image".
