Seven people barred from coming to UK for far-right rally

Seven people hoping to attend a far-right rally in central London on Saturday have been blocked from entering the country by the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood.

Keir Starmer, the prime minister, promised on Monday to block “far-right agitators” hoping to attend the Unite the Kingdom event on 16 May organised by Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.

Joey Mannarino, a US-based commentator, and Valentina Gomez, a Maga influencer, had their authorisation to enter the UK withdrawn on the grounds that their presence “would not be conducive to the public good”. The identities of the other five banned people are not known.

In a speech aimed at resetting his premiership, Starmer said he would ban extremists from coming to Britain to speak at the nationalist march on Saturday. “This is nothing less than a battle for the soul of our nation,” he added.

An estimated 100,000 people attended last year’s nationalist event, thought to be the largest far-right rally of its type in British history. The event was addressed remotely by Elon Musk, who was condemned by Downing Street for using “dangerous and inflammatory” language.

Mannarino and Gomez were given permission to enter the UK for Saturday’s rally via an electronic travel authorisation but the Home Office intervened to withdraw this approval.

Commies gotta commie........

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I bet none of these people said anything remotely as incendiary as is what is said at a mosque every week in the UK.

[Leaning Right]

Those seven people should just rent a dingy, and cross into the UK via the English Channel. Not only would they be allowed in, they’d probably also get free hotel rooms.

Just be sure to mumble something in Arabic when you land.

Why do I have to think of everything?

[Midwesterner53]

I was hoping Starmer wuold be gone by now. He has destroyed the last bits of freedom in the UK.

“This is nothing less than a battle for the soul of our nation,” he added.

He's exactly right.

And he's on the wrong side.

[LibFreeUSA]

So, I see that the Communist party has taken over the UK.

[Candor7]

This is going to get really good.

Watch as Marco Rubio reciprocates in spades this summer.

[Pontiac]

Britain's leaders are all happy to bring in hundreds of thousands of Muslims with their Muslim ideas.

But don't you come in there with your ideas of preserving Western Civilization and Christian values buddy.

WE WON'T HAVE IT.

Those muslim invaders to the UK have more common sense than the Home Secretary and the Prime Minister. Should be called Unravel the Kingdom event.

But any random Muslim is free to come with no ID or means of support.

Ha Ha Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood.

Meanwhile...

Hundreds of unemployed young male Muslims arrived illegally in the UK and were immediately given free food, free housing, and free medical care.

But head choppers welcome.

Yet head choppers are the most “right wing” types on Earth, pretty much.
