A right-wing Polish politician has threatened legal action against Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer after being barred from entering the United Kingdom. Dominik Tarczynski, a Member of the European Parliament, is one of at least seven far-right figures whose entry has been blocked by the government ahead of a rally led by Tommy Robinson in central London this Saturday.
Mr Tarczynski, who advocates a policy of zero illegal migration, stated that the Home Office revoked his electronic travel authorisation, preventing him from travelling to Britain. He faced criticism earlier this year for posting “Good job ICE” in response to the fatal shooting of Renee Good by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minnesota.
Writing on social media platform X about the ban, he declared: “This is what communism looks like in the 21st century. I have just been denied entry to the UK in order to speak at the largest patriotic event in Europe. Starmer will be sued by me. Not the government, not the Home Office but Starmer personally. Once you lose the next election, communist, we’ll meet in court!”
Former prime minister Liz Truss described the decision as “shocking”. She commented: “Of course if Starmer got his desire to rejoin the EU – he wouldn’t be able to do this.”
Sir Keir signalled a tougher stance on those he termed “far-right agitators” during a speech on Monday, asserting that he “will not allow people to come to the UK, threaten our communities and spread hate on our streets”.
Other right-wing personalities claiming to have been barred include Belgian politician and commentator Filip Dewinter, anti-Islam influencer Valentina Gomez, right-wing US commentator Joey Mannarino, Spanish personality Ada Lluch, Dutch anti-immigration activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek, and US-based podcaster Don Keith.
Saturday’s rally has been organised by Mr Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. The previous Unite the Kingdom protest in September attracted between 110,000 and 150,000 attendees.
