1. They shouldn't be denied entry to the country based on their views.
2. They're not conservative, they're alt-right shitbags.
3. The UK has hate speech and incitement to violence laws, so we don't have free speech by law and never have. That being said, you'd have to do some real epic shit to get arrested for it and our press is the freest in the world. If I were in government I'd still repeal those laws, even if they are seldom used.
not familiar with them, what have they done/said that's so extreme?
On Monday, British border police stationed in the French port of Calais also denied entry to Lauren Southern, a Canadian right-wing activist. After being detained, Southern tweeted that British authorities had told her she was “officially banned from UK for ‘racism’”.
i'm familiar with her more than the other two mentioned, I wouldn't consider her extreme or alt-right.
