Statement on Nick Griffin's attendance at the Garden Party, 22 July 2010
Nick Griffin MEP will be denied entry to today’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace due to the fact he has overtly used his personal invitation for Party political purposes through the media.
This in turn has increased the security threat and the potential discomfort to the many other guests also attending.
Mr Griffin’s personal invitation was issued to him as an elected Member of the European Parliament.
The decision to deny him entry is not intended to show any disrespect to the democratic process by which the invitation was issued.
However, we would apply the same rules to anyone who tried to blatantly politicise their attendance in this way.
Well, Elizabeth, that is exactley what you have done, this has resulted in you making over 1,000,000 enemies today.
