Reggie, I do deplore them yes, but I respect any party that is a registered official party that is given a mandate from the people.

Can't see the problem myself, we're supposed to live in a democracy - and part of living in a democracy is letting people hold views/beliefs that may be objectionable to the majority.

Because it is topical and certainly a national first. I've never heard of someone like this meeting the Monarch before. I doubt Oswald Mosley, the leader of the British Fascist Movement back in the 1930's, met the Monarch of the day. He and his wife were even interned during World War 2.

The list of undesirables her maj has had to meet and in some circumstances put up for the night is quite long. Well up there is undoubtably Nicolae Ceauşescu, the Romanian mad man and mass murderer. Its thought his luggage on the way home was full of Buck Palace towels, ash-trays and other easily nickable stuff.
