The UK just deployed a political weapon it’s only used once before in modern history. And nobody is talking about what it just backfired into.

The Home Office issued entry bans on 11 foreign nationals ahead of the 16 May ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally in central London. Rebel News founder Ezra Levant. Multiple journalists. Commentators. Banned from the country. To stop a march.

Metropolitan Police deployed 4,000+ officers. Live facial recognition. Drones. Dogs. Horses.

The result: tens of thousands — some estimates reaching hundreds of thousands — flooding the streets of London anyway.

You don’t ban foreign journalists to stop a fringe event. You ban foreign journalists when you’re afraid of what the footage will show. And you only deploy 4,000 officers with drones and facial recognition when you already know the crowd is going to be too large to ignore.
