"Controversial Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders arrived in Britain today after overturning a ban on him entering the UK.
Mr Wilders attempted to enter the country last February but was detained on landing at Heathrow airport and ordered to fly back to the Netherlands just over three hours later.
He had been due to show his anti-Islamic film Fitna, which criticises the Koran as a "fascist book", at the House of Lords but then-home secretary Jacqui Smith said his presence had the potential to "threaten community harmony and therefore public safety" and the ban was imposed.
But the 46-year-old Freedom Party leader had the ban quashed and sparked demonstrations from Muslim protesters when he came to Parliament last October.
Today he was showing the film to MPs and peers as a guest of UK Independence Party leader Lord Pearson and crossbencher Baroness Cox. Lord Pearson has condemned radical Islam as a "world domination movement".
There was no sign of any protests when Mr Wilders arrived at London's Heathrow airport this morning but demonstrators were expected at Westminster later.
Explaining his controversial views last October, Mr Wilders said: "I have a problem with the Islamic ideology, the Islamic culture, because I feel that the more Islam that we get in our societies, the less freedom that we get."
In a pre-election interview last month, Lord Pearson described the Dutch politician as a "friend" and denied accusations that his own party was "far-right" or "radical", after it called for face coverings - such as the veil worn by some Muslim women - to be banned.
"Is it radical to wish to protect British society and our Judeo-Christian culture from the growing influence of radical Islam?" he asked.
Lord Pearson insisted his party was "absolutely non-racist" and made clear he was not referring to moderate Muslims.
But he claimed the political establishment was "asleep" to the expansionist aims of radical Islam.
Mr Wilders has been under 24-hour protection for the past five years after receiving death threats over his views."
