'Mr Griffin is also embroiled in a row with relatives of Sir Winston Churchill who are furious at his attempt to cloak himself in the mantle of the great wartime leader.

In the BNP election broadcast, he quotes from one of Churchill's most famous speeches. The advert also features footage of Sir Winston and British war graves.'

'Churchill's family say that the BNP is trying to hijack his legacy. His grandson, ­Nicholas Soames, said it was "offensive and ­disgusting," and he had consulted lawyers in an attempt to force the Electoral Commission to stop the broadcast.

It's a monstrous thing to do," said Soames, Tory MP for Mid-Sussex. "Most sensible people will be disgusted by the BNP's use of Churchill's face and imagery purporting to claim that my grandfather would have supported their policies."

Griffin was also accused of hypocrisy over his use of second world war footage, after it emerged that an article which appeared in a rightwing magazine he edited in the 1990s appeared to praise the wartime exploits of Hitler's SS.'
