    How would he make it a publicity stunt? :S You barely hear of it, and when you do it's a publicity stunt for all involved. He's done it before, and is usually ignored or kicked out, no-one's going to care either way but seeing as people voted for a BNP MEP then he should probably go :/

    From everything I see with nick Griffin, no one likes him at all. Why does he still has his job?
    I return reputation

    Because someone voted him in and the BNP see him as the best in their party, it's how democracy and politics work. He's hated, but some people must like what he and his party believe in if they voted the BNP to represent the UK as an MEP from somewhere in the UK

    By making sure he is banned from it by going against usual protocol.

    i'm torn over this, i do believe in the power of free speech and as such, i don't believe people should be "barred" from anything because of what they believe.

    but i do believe his being there was wholly inappropriate anyway.

    edit: to the people who say why has nick griffin got his job, in the last election 500,000 people voted BNP. that, to me, is a scary number. there is not that small of a minority of people in the uk who believe in what he stands for. it's disgusting.

    Some people vote for the party that is strongly against something, or have something as a main concern or priority, than parties that tackle problems as a secondary or minor problem. I assume they voted the BNP because of immigration and foreigners, which is arguably a decided problem with many parties in the UK, but some people think of it as a major problem, and vote for who reflect it the most so they went for the BNP.

    It's just how some people are

    About the comment on the website and what he wants to ask the Queen? If he attempts to during the time then ban him, but doing it prematurely isn't that helpful. It's unlikely he'll get the chance :/

    Well they said it was against protocol because at the very least because of security. Who am I to say otherwise?

    Should Mr. Griffin have been invited to the party? For sure. He is elected and although I despise his views they are the views that around a million other people hold in this country, it is his democratic right to receive that invitation. I do however completely respect the Queens removal of the invite, he was not intending to use it to relax but rather to score political points as the BNP website indicates. Additionally he claims it was the fault of the political elite that he was uninvited but the Queen has no affiliation to any party and is independent of the so called "political elite". It has nothing to do with them.

    Suppose, he does have a way of angering people and in saying that he has pretty much made himself a target. It's democracy with him being an MEP against security/protocol. Saying he's going to talk the Queen seems a bit unlikely, as they tend to be about meeting in Buckingham Palace, than a good tea and a buffet with the Queen :/

    though i agree he had the right to be invited, i think his invite was wholly inappropriate and the palace should've seen this happening prior to the invite.
