[Britain’s all-out war on nationalism and free speech continues as a panicked Teresa May regime tries to throttle criticism on radical Islam and the immigration disaster in the UK. Note the catch all grounds for banning people — “not conducive to the public good.” One wonders how hordes of Third Worlders, many culturally incompatible with British society and many who will be lifetime consumers of the dole (welfare) and lifetime denizens of council flats (public housing), are somehow considered conducive to the public good?]<\/strong><\/em><\/span>

\nThe founder of the German far-right group Pegida has been denied entry to the UK and deported, officials have confirmed.<\/p>\n

Lutz Bachmann,\u00a0 … , is the fourth foreign figure in the extreme right wing to be turned away at the UK border in the space of a fortnight.<\/p>\n

The Home Office said it had stopped the chair of the anti-Islam, anti-immigration group at Stansted airport on Saturday and deported him the next day, adding that his presence in the UK was \u201cnot conducive to the public good\u201d.<\/p>\n

Pegida said Bachmann\u2019s intention had been to appear at Speakers\u2019 Corner, in central London, to take the place of Martin Sellner, …\u00a0 who was among the far-right activists prevented from entering Britain since 9 March.<\/p>\n

Sellner\u2019s partner, Brittany Pettibone, and Lauren Southern were also turned away because their presence was not deemed conducive to the public good.<\/p>\n

Tommy Robinson, the former leader of the English Defence League, … gave Sellner\u2019s speech at Speakers\u2019 Corner on Sunday.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the anti-fascist group Hope Not Hate said the decision to deny entry to Bachmann was unsurprising given his \u201cextreme history\u201d and the deportations of Pettibone, Sellner and Southern.<\/p>\n

\u201cFar from being denied a chance to air their views, as they often like to falsely claim, these extremists have abused freedom of speech and social media platforms to spread and push toxic views,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

Hope Not Hate highlighted Bachmann\u2019s criminal past (he has previously been convicted of drug possession, assault and burglary) and said he had \u201cmade his name as a prominent Islamophobe\u201d. …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Referring to his case, a Home Office spokesman said: \u201cBorder Force has the power to refuse entry to an individual if it is considered that his or her presence in the\u00a0 UK is not conducive to the public good.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Home Office also confirmed the deportations of Southern, Sellner and Pettibone for the same reason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
