0:00On April 20, U.K. home secretary Shabbat Amamud just blocked U.S. influencer Valentina Gomez from entering the country. She was set to speak at Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom rally next month, but God denied after getting her electronic travel authorization. This comes after backlash from lawmakers and groups, using the same reason they gave for Bannon-Kanye West earlier this month over his anti-Semitic remarks. People say free speech doesn't cover pushing hate or extremism. Muslim advocacy groups like the Muslim Council of Britain and tell Mama, cheer the move, calling it a smart precedent against hate speech. They say folks spreading division shouldn't get a free pass into the U.K. Gomez, who ran in a Texas Congressional primary on a MAGA platform, made headlines burning a caran with a flame thrower and torching pro-LGBTQ books. She vowed to wipe Islam from Texas and slammed it harshly online. Meanwhile, a U.K. court just have held a man's acquittal for burning a caran outside of
