The UK government, in collaboration with FCDOGovUK, is launching a new initiative to prevent foreign extremists from entering the country in response to a global rise in antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred following Hamas' attack on Israel. A taskforce will be established to identify and blacklist hate preachers overseas, blocking their entry into Britain. Key figures such as Tom Tugendhat, James Cleverly, and Chris Philp are involved in this initiative, which aims to uphold British values of freedom, democracy, and the rule of law by ensuring that those who spread hate cannot enter the country.
Poisonous ideologies and vile extremism have no place in modern Britain. This announcement will ensure the people who spread this hate can’t step foot in our country. We must always stand firm in defending the core British values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law. https://t.co/izO1cNUy7g
More importantly, we need a Taskforce to rid us of a deeply Compromised Home Office. Cc. @GBNEWS @PatrickChristys @AllisonPearson @DaveAtherton20 @misspaulalondon @benhabib6 https://t.co/OGXQWKoHsV
Pardon my scepticism, nay cynicism @TomTugendhat that you're "going to stop those who want to spread hate coming to our shores." The ones here will be deported ASAP? What about the Saudi funded British imam colleges that preach the extremist Wahhabi & Salifist ideologies? https://t.co/b1MKrmq6qO

We're launching a new taskforce with @FCDOGovUK to prevent foreign extremists from entering the country and spreading hate. The world has seen an unacceptable rise in antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred since Hamas' attack on Israel. This will never be allowed in the UK.
There’s no place for extremism in our country. We’re going to stop those who want to spread hate coming to our shores. Our new taskforce will identify hate preachers overseas, and block them from preaching their vile ideologies in the UK. https://t.co/csBvxYIH93
