Polish MEP Threatens to Sue Starmer Personally After UK Entry Ban for Tommy Robinson Rally

A prominent Polish MEP, Dominik Tarczynski, is threatening to sue Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer personally after being denied entry to the UK to speak at a major “Unite the Kingdom” rally led by Tommy Robinson. Tarczynski, known for his “zero illegal migration” policy, slammed the ban as “what communism looks like in the 21st century.”

Starmer’s Government Bans “Far-Right Agitators”

Dominik Tarczynski, a Member of the European Parliament, claims the Home Office cancelled his electronic travel authorisation, preventing his arrival in Britain. He is one of at least seven figures, described as “far-right” by the government, who have been banned ahead of Saturday’s Tommy Robinson-led rally in central London.

Sir Keir Starmer signalled a tougher stance on Monday, stating he “will not allow people to come to the UK, threaten our communities and spread hate on our streets.” This move comes despite a previous “Unite the Kingdom” protest in September drawing between 110,000 and 150,000 people.

MEP Vows Personal Lawsuit Against Starmer

Mr Tarczynski did not mince words, taking to X to declare his intent to sue. “This is what communism looks like in the 21st century,” he wrote. He added, “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!”

This strong reaction highlights the growing international friction over the Starmer government’s approach to border control and free speech. Former prime minister Liz Truss also weighed in, describing the move as “shocking.”

• Polish MEP Dominik Tarczynski threatens to sue Sir Keir Starmer personally over UK entry ban.
• Tarczynski was due to speak at a Tommy Robinson-led “Unite the Kingdom” rally in London.
• He is one of at least seven international figures banned by the Starmer government.
• Tarczynski called the ban “what communism looks like in the 21st century.”
• Former PM Liz Truss criticised the move as “shocking.”
• The previous “Unite the Kingdom” rally saw up to 150,000 attendees.

What This Means for Britain

This decision by the Labour government directly impacts the right to assembly and freedom of speech, raising serious questions about who the state deems acceptable to enter the country for political expression.

For ordinary British citizens, it sets a precedent where the government can selectively block individuals from attending lawful protests, even if those individuals are elected representatives from allied nations.

The threat of a personal lawsuit against the Prime Minister is highly unusual and could lead to significant legal costs, potentially funded by the taxpayer if Starmer is defended by the state.

This incident also fuels concerns about the Starmer government’s willingness to silence dissenting voices, even from abroad, under the guise of protecting communities.

The context of a large, popular protest being targeted by such bans suggests an attempt to control public discourse rather than simply maintain order.
