This is from Peter McIlvenna of Hearts of Oak writing in Gateway Pundit. He’s saved me a couple of hours writing something myself about the growing list of international speaks and guests denyed entry to the UK ahead of the next Unite the Kingdom rally scheduled for next Saturday.
The Trump administration needs to take a hard look at what Keir Starmer’s Labour government is doing right now. Banning Americans from entering the UK purely because of their political opinions sets a dangerous precedent — and it’s happening right before Tommy Robinson’s next major “Unite the Kingdom” rally in central London on 16 May.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has already canceled the Electronic Travel Authorizations for four invited international speakers: American commentators Joey Mannarino and Valentina Gomez, Spain’s Ada Lluch, and Dutch activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek. Add Lutz Bachmann from Germany to that list this morning –
Just been told by the British HOME OFFICE, that my ETA that was approved and valid till next year has been withdrawn…. so I can not be at the biggest UK-demo ever on tbe 16th of May!
The official excuse is that their presence “would not be conducive to the public good.” In reality, ministers are terrified these voices will stand with Tommy and speak plainly about grooming gangs, mass immigration, and Labour’s two-tier policing.
Valentina Gomez, a Colombian-born real estate investor and Republican activist, has blown up online with her no-nonsense videos tearing into woke culture, school grooming, and open borders. Her fiery take on Islam and immigration has won her a big following among populists on both sides of the pond.
Ada Lluch is a sharp young Spanish influencer in her mid-20s who has become a strong voice for national identity and protecting Europe’s future. She made her debut at an earlier Unite the Kingdom rally and speaks with real passion about demographic change.
Eva Vlaardingerbroek, the Dutch lawyer and activist often called the “shieldmaiden of the right,” doesn’t hold back on mass migration or the erosion of Western civilization. She’s spoken at big conservative events across Europe and the US and has already been targeted by the UK government for criticizing Starmer.
Other speakers include Laurence Fox, women’s rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen (Posie Parker), NHS whistleblower Gary Harvey, former MP Andrew Bridgen, and American broadcaster Glenn Beck. Tommy Robinson will host and speak.

I’ve had the privilege of speaking at two previous Unite the Kingdom rallies, and they’ve been massive. The last one in September 2025 drew up to a million people — the biggest gathering in modern UK history. That turnout shows the depth of frustration the establishment just can’t ignore.
The desperate decision to block international guests while the rally still goes ahead with this strong lineup shows how nervous they are.
Tommy’s real impact has always been exposing the grooming gang scandals in places like Rotherham and Rochdale, where authorities looked the other way. His refusal to stay silent draws huge crowds demanding secure borders, real integration, and actual free speech.
This visa clampdown proves Starmer’s weakness. The ETA system, sold as a simple entry, is now a political filter. A confident government debates critics. A failing one bans them.
The 16 May rally will still happen under a heavy police presence. But the bans send a clear message: this government prefers silence over honest debate.
Britain needs straight talk on immigration, protection for vulnerable girls, and real free speech. Tommy Robinson keeps forcing that conversation. The canceled visas only prove why his message hits home.

Will someone edit annual compilations of these speeches into a
‘Declaration of Intelligent Intransigence’ series ?
LOL. No, that is exactly what Trump shouldn’t do. To (sort of) quote Napoleon: Never interfere with the enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself. Sun Tzu says similar things. For some reasons R’s seem to love to do this, thereby enabling their magical gift for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. If Trump gets involved it becomes about Trump and not Starmer (interesting that your spell check doesn’t recognize Starmer) It becomes about American Interference in British politics and not about what Starmer is doing. Read Sun Tzu’s the Art of War.
Great idea, Howard.
