#Breaking: Hate preachers are to be banned from entering the #UK

It is understood that officials will identify the most dangerous extremists from countries including Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Indonesia and add them to a warning list.

Anyone on that list will be refused entry.

The development follows Rishi Sunak‘s speech in Downing Street on Friday, in which he said streets had been “hijacked by small groups who are hostile to our values and have no respect for our democratic traditions“.

Ministers already have powers to block people who are “non-conducive to the public good”.

Ministers believe they can make greater use of them to include individuals preaching racism, incitement, or using intimidation or violence to undermine the democratic process.
