British authorities ban three foreign right-wing activists

This just cracks me up.
Only because of all the BS coming from some in the UK, about the US.

Guess free speech is only for some in the UK.

Other harassment by Iran has seen family members of BBC staffers arbitrarily detained, subject to travel bans or watched by intelligence service operatives, the broadcaster said.


So britain is complaining about Iran detaining, banning travel and watching journalists and their families
while themselves detaining, banning travel and watching conservative journalists from the US and Canada.

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.

yeah i've seen some of her videos, i wouldn't really consider her an alt-right shitbag. She doesn't do anything extreme or promote some type of hate speech from what i've seen

It's obvious dog whistling. Everything is about the plight of white people in some place or other, we know which team she is on and that team is not team conservative.

how dare she shed light on the plight of white victims when other media refuse to cover it! thats something a nazi would do right there, clearly.

pretty disgraceful to bar her and others from the UK, especially while complaining about other countries doing the same thing.

people aren't joking when they say freedom of speech doesn't really exist in other countries.

looking at her recent content she covers South African whites being murdered and their property being stolen by a communist government, seems like a reasonable thing to report about. I'm not sure how reporting about this makes someone a shitbag, maybe things are different in the UK.
