Jokes about people are not very nice or fair, ever. This doesn't make them wrong.Nick Griffin is a man who has made himself unpopular on purpose.
Therefore making jokes about him is less morally problematic than making jokes about, say, injured lambs, or some group with a history of being discriminated against.
Then we have the separate question about whether sick jokes which are deliberately cruel are morally OK, and the question of whether simple cruel jokes are of a good quality or just lowbrow rubbish, both rather complicated questions, but fortunately they don't come into it in this case.
