BNP gets link with Le Pen
'BNP leader Nick Griffin is getting tips on how to win votes from the National Front in France.
He sent key henchmen Martin Wingfield for talks with the country's far-right leader Jean Marie Le Pen and his daughter Marine.
Wingfield tells on an internet blog how he also met Bruno Gollnish - a Euro MP for France's National Front party - and calls him "impressive".
The meeting has appalled charities and politicians in Britain amid fears the BNP is keen to forge closer links with extremists groups in Europe ahead of the expected General Election on May 6. Le Pen has infamously described the Holocaust as a "detail of history".'
