Far-right Americans will be blocked from entering the U.K. for a Unite the Kingdom, Unite the West march this weekend, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said.
Starmer, who is facing a political crisis in the U.K. with calls for him to quit after his Labour Party saw major losses in local elections last week, has spoken out against a march set to take place in London on Saturday, backed by far-right activist Tommy Robinson. It is scheduled for the same day as the pro-Palestine Nakba Day rally.
This Labour government will block far-right agitators from travelling to Britain for that event, because we will not allow people to come to the U.K. to threaten our communities and spread hate on our streets, Starmer said in a speech on Monday where he attempted to convince party members he should remain as leader.
Robinson wrote on X that an American congressman is set to speak at the event on Saturday. Will you block the American congressman we have coming to speak Keir Starmer? I f***ing dare ya, he said.

(5,881 posts)the same racist policies towards immigrants as the Tories/Reform have and refuses to discuss rejoining the EU after "Brexit" was a complete disaster. Refusing to address NHS crisis and keep talking about drilling in the North Sea,

(22,626 posts)The Farage phenomenon is almost all in England, not Scotland or Wales, or Northern Ireland. SNP won big in Scotland and won't even consider talking to Reform to form a government. They don't have to. With Labour and the Greens, they have an overwhelming majority. Plaid Cymru did the same in Wales. Sein Fein still has the plurality in NI. All are center left to left and despise Farage and his fascist clap trap. It's the Saxon wankers once again causing the trouble.
