Eleven foreign "far-right agitators" have been blocked from entering the country to attend a rally organised by anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson, the prime minister has said.
Tens of thousands are expected to join the Unite the Kingdom event on Saturday, while an annual pro-Palestinian demonstration takes place in another part of London.
Sir Keir Starmer has said "we're in a fight for the soul of this country" ahead of the protest.
The Metropolitan Police is anticipating one of its busiest days in recent years, and has drafted more than 4,000 officers over fears of clashes if the rival protests coincide.
In a statement on Friday, Sir Keir said: "We're in a fight for the soul of this country, and the Unite the Kingdom march this weekend is a stark reminder of exactly what we are up against.
"Its organisers are peddling hatred and division, plain and simple. We will block those coming into the UK who seek to incite hatred and violence.

Just like in China!
The Brit Labour Party has no soul.

A fight for the soul of the country? I think he meant to say “I’m in a fight to save my job”
Good God....that’s gotta be 100,000. And maybe more!
Actually the UK is worse about free speech than is China, jailing more people over online comments than Russia and China combined by a long shot.

π¨NEW: American Journalist, Nick Shirley, has managed to get into the UK and will be speaking at Tommy Robinsonβs UTK March in London tomorrow π¬π§
This comes after Keir Starmer promised to ban ALL foreign speakers from entering the UK for the event, and even revoked 11 travel visas for political speakers, including a sitting member of European parliament @D_Tarczynski pic.twitter.com/WybJsewX2gβ BRITAIN IS BROKEN π¬π§ (@BROKENBRITAIN0) May 15, 2026
Iβm arriving Heathrow Sunday. I wonder if theyβve figured out who I am?
Dominik is awesome! He was at the last UTK rally. I’m surprised they could ban him.
Perhaps I’m failing at reading comprehension but did they bother to list the 11 people denoted in the headline? I only saw one banned persons name.
Wonder if the British police had mind reading capabilities like the one who saw into the mind of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce woman’s as she silently prayed for an end to abortions outside a place in Birmingham. Thousands of dollars in court costs and lawyers’ fees to defend herself after imprisonment.
One cannot pray silently in a “buffer zone” according to British law.
See, the government can stop immigration if it wants to. The 11th should get on a boat in France and just sail over to the pUKe.
But protests are never successful so what is the point
That video brings me back.
Protesting is so much enjoyable and fun, those people who are naysayers who I find it amusing to mock have no idea. All the people in that video were having so much fun that day. It is just so so much fun.
Sitting on a couch being a complaining curmudgeon is not anywhere as pleasing as going out in crowds larger than 50k and holding signs.
I miss the Tea Party protests so much.
