Keir Starmer says ‘agitators’ will be blocked from attending Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom event.

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Joey Mannarino, a US-based commentator, and Valentina Gomez, a Maga influencer, had their authorisation to enter the UK withdrawn on the grounds that their presence “would not be conducive to the public good”.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.

The paradox of tolerance is that intolerance can never be tolerated.

  Tolerance is a social contract. Only those who abide by the contract are covered by the contract. Intolerant people do not tolerate others, and therefore they cannot benefit from the social contract.

    Free speech absolutists that don’t recognise that telling people to kill people, burn down their houses, or sink the boats they’re on is a very obvious line and not a “slippery slope”.
