The British National Party has used a photograph of the bombed London bus for an election leaflet.
"Maybe now it's time to start listening to the BNP," says the slogan alongside the photo in a leaflet for a council by-election in Barking, East London.
Home Secretary Charles Clarke said the BNP "have tried to cynically exploit the current tragic events in London to further their spread of hatred".
BNP leader Nick Griffin said the photo showed the cost of voting Labour.
The leader of the Conservatives in London, Bob Neill, said it was "disgraceful and sick... as contemptible an election tactic as I have ever seen in my life".
The BNP's best result in the general election was in Barking, where it took 16.89% of the vote.
