My personal opinion is that I don't see any harm in his attendance. He is afterall just one of many politicians who will be there.
This isn't to say that I agree with his hard right views and policies. I think that people protesting his right to attend are going too far though. They are displaying intolerance, which is ironically the thing they dislike about him.

Well first I have to say I despise the BNP and everything they stand for.
However rightly or wrongly he is elected and he has a invite so can't see how I can say he has no rught to be there as he clearly does. That won't stop me hoping the queen locks him to the tower before he gets chance to eat though.

Ah, the Royal Family has another brush with the far right. Wasn't King Edward VIII quite chummy with the Nazis?
He could do with going on a diet!

Yup...allegedly there were plans afoot to put him back on the throne had the mad it to the UK.
Odious man. Odious views.
But I can't see how we can say he has no business being there when he's an elected representative. Even if the views he represents are anathema to most decent people.

Yeah and so was George Bush jr. grandad.
He was selling the Nazi's weapons untill the US stopped him in 1942. That's where a lot of the money for his two sons to become President came from. Unbelievable I know.

I agree spider. He is, after all, a member of the London Assembly and as all the other members have been issued with an invite, it wouldn't be very democratic if he was refused I guess.
