Trump Should Step In: Starmer’s UK is Banning Americans for Political Views Ahead of Tommy Robinson Rally

In this Gateway Pundit article, Peter McIlvenna argues that the Trump administration should respond to the UK government’s decision to block several foreign conservative speakers from entering Britain ahead of Tommy Robinson’s May 16 “Unite the Kingdom” rally.

• The article says Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood canceled Electronic Travel Authorizations for four invited speakers: Joey Mannarino, Valentina Gomez, Ada Lluch, and Eva Vlaardingerbroek.
• The official justification cited was that their presence “would not be conducive to the public good,” but the author frames the move as political censorship.
• McIlvenna argues that Keir Starmer’s Labour government is trying to suppress critics of mass immigration, grooming gang scandals, and what conservatives describe as two-tier policing.
• The article highlights Tommy Robinson’s role in drawing attention to grooming gang scandals in places like Rotherham and Rochdale.
• The piece says Robinson’s upcoming rally will still feature figures such as Laurence Fox, Kellie-Jay Keen, Gary Harvey, Andrew Bridgen, Glenn Beck, and Robinson himself.
• McIlvenna claims Robinson’s recent U.S. trip increased his influence among American conservatives and may have alarmed Starmer’s government.
• The article warns Americans that immigration-related dissent can be labeled extremism and then used as a pretext for restricting speech and movement.
• The author argues that the UK’s ETA system, originally sold as a routine travel authorization process, is now being used as a political filter.
• The article concludes that the visa cancellations show weakness from the Starmer government and reinforce why Robinson’s message continues to resonate.
