Global debate on Cameron's multiculturalism speech

When David Cameron said he wanted to see the end of "state multiculturalism" the media firestorm it provoked in the UK soon blew itself out - but it is a different story in other parts of the world.

The latest figure to wade into the row is Marine Le Pen, the new leader of France's far right Front National, who has congratulated Mr Cameron for what she claimed was his endorsement of her party's position.

She told the Financial Times: "It is exactly the type of statement that has barred us from public life for 30 years."
