On Sunday, the BNP leader Nick Griffin and the Far Right French politician Jean Le Pen will be meeting in Birmingham. What are you thoughts on this meeting of two slugs?
Le Pen is a disgusting white supremacist and Griffin is a pathetic little cockroach who wants people to see him as a serious politician, even though he is anything but.
FEARS OVER LE PEN VISIT
One of the most controversial figures in European politics is in Britain this weekend, despite fears his visit will create racial tension.
France's far-right leader Jean-Marie le Pen has been invited by the British National Party to tour Manchester and the West Midlands.
Anti-racist campaigners say he should be banned from the country.
But Home Secretary David Blunkett has refused to intervene to bar the trip.
MP George Galloway, who was expelled from the Labour Party over comments made in the run-up to the Iraq war, said a visit by Le Pen would stir up racial tension.
Mr Galloway, MP for Glasgow Kelvin and now a member of Respect, the unity coalition - a political party founded in January - is demanding that Mr Blunkett use his powers to stop Le Pen's entry to Britain.
The MP, who has written to the Home Secretary to voice his views, said: "Le Pen should not be allowed to step foot on to British soil at any time.
"If the Home Secretary allows into this country someone who denies the Holocaust and who is on record as hating all Muslims, he will be siding with the neo-Nazi far-right against multicultural Britain."
During a visit to a central London magistrates' court, Mr Blunkett said Le Pen was a French national and therefore entitled to travel.
But he added: "It's very ironic that a violently nationalist party should be calling on a foreigner to support them in the coming elections."
