Everyone know who lived in France the extreme rightist Marine Le Pen how much she hates from Britain and British people and she is able to come and talk at the University of Britain’s most respected

The daughter of Jean Marie Le Pen, who took over the party leadership from her father in 2011, will address students at the debating society on Tuesday afternoon.

Her appearance has sparked controversy, with anti-fascist group Unite Against Fascism organising a demonstration in protest.

Mrs Le Pen, 44, who has been an MEP since 2004, is due to speak about the future of the European Union and French politics.

She has been billed as the leader of the third largest political party in France after taking 17.8% of the vote in the first round of the presidential election last year.

The Cambridge  Union said: “Whether you agree with her politics or not, this event represents one of the very few opportunities a British audience has had to directly engage with Mme Le Pen.”

It described her as a long-standing MEP who has become a powerful figure on the European right, who has also been named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world.

The appearance has provoked added controversy because it comes in the same week that the English Defence League, a far-right pressure group, is marching through Cambridge.

A spokesman for the Cambridge Union Society said: “The Cambridge Union has a 200-year history of promoting the art of debating and free speech and this event is fundamentally in keeping with that tradition.”
