A Dutch anti-immigration influencer known for promoting conspiracy theories like the “great replacement” says she has been banned from entering the UK.
Eva Vlaardingerbroek posted an image online of what appeared to be a notification from the British government, stating that her UK electronic travel authorisation (ETA) was cancelled on Tuesday. The notification read, “Your presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good.”
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán reposted Vlaardingerbroek’s tweet on his X account, linking to her previous comments about British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, whom she called an “evil, despicable man.” Orbán wrote, “You’re always welcome in Hungary!” His country hosted her and other far-right and hardline conservative figures in 2024 when she spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
Last year, Vlaardingerbroek spoke in London at Britain’s largest-ever far-right protest, organized by activist Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon). Wearing a T-shirt with the slogan “Generation Remigration”—a far-right term widely seen as a euphemism for forced mass deportations—she said, “They are demanding the sacrifice of our children on the altar of mass migration. Let’s not beat about the bush—this is the rape, replacement, and murder of our people … Remigration is possible, and it’s up to us to make it happen.”
The apparent decision by the UK Home Office could spark backlash from Vlaardingerbroek’s allies in the US, where some figures in Trump-affiliated circles have accused Britain of suppressing free speech.
Former Prime Minister Liz Truss, who served for 49 days in 2022 and has since promoted increasingly right-wing views, criticized the move. She wrote on X, “People who tell the truth about what’s happening in Britain banned from the country.”
Anti-immigration MP Rupert Lowe, previously part of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, said he would question why the Dutch activist was barred and call for the decision to be reversed.
This is not the first time the UK has banned individuals deemed extremists. Earlier this month, an Islamist preacher was barred after defending the terrorist group Hamas following the October 7 attack on Israel. In 2019, Martin Sellner, a prominent anti-Islamic extremist whose organization was investigated in Austria over links to the Christchurch shooting suspect, was permanently banned from entering the UK.
