Jean Marie Le Pen, leader of the French neo-nazi Front National and the far-right grouping in the European Parliament, visited London at the beginning of December. Le Pen, who once dismissed the nazi holocaust as a mere "detail", attended a meeting with other members of the European right and addressed a meeting hosted by the far-right grouping, Western Goals. The Ad-hoc Committee to Stop Le Pen's Visit organised a picket of the French Consulate in protest at his presence. A second picket two days later, outside the Charing Cross Hotel where he was speaking, ended in confrontations between police and protesters outraged at his presence.
