The Young Turks’ chief pundit Cenk Uygur was barred from entering the United Kingdom over government concerns his presence would not be “conducive to the public good,” The Times reported on Sunday.
Uygur was set to appear at the SXSW London festival later this week. But British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood decided the leftist commentator was not fit to enter the country, due in part to his rants against Israel.
The Times reported:
> The decision to block Uygur from travelling to the UK is understood to have been based on several grounds, including fears that his presence would risk exacerbating antisemitism due to his rhetoric since the October 7 attacks in 2023.
> This has included repeating classic antisemitic tropes, such as the claim that Israel controls America. He falsely claimed on his podcast in July last year that the Israeli lobby gave more to Congress than any other.
Uygur confirmed he was banned from entering the UK in an X post on Sunday. He said it was for “criticizing Israel.”
“Are we free anymore?” he continued. “This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!”

His nephew, popular streamer and former TYT commentator Hasan Piker, said he was banned from entering the UK as well during a livestream on Sunday.
“I didn’t want to talk about it, but uh, my visa has also been revoked,” Piker said. “We just found out… I don’t know who to reach-out for this.”
Piker has made headlines for a number of claims over the years, including saying America “deserved” to be attacked on September 11.
He has also called Hamas “the lesser of two evils” when comparing the terrorist organization and Israel. And last month during an appearance on Pod Save America, Piker branded the Republican Party the “biggest domestic terrorist” organization and the “biggest terrorist internationally.”

I have never heard him say anything antisemitic. I must be uninformed, surely he has many antisemitic utterances on the public record. The British would never make things up or commit any kind of perfidious act surely not.
>>
>>1517689
Even if they did make it up, you have to appreciate the irony of someone who talks shit about the western world for a living, and then cries about how oppressed they are when one of those western nations doesn't want them in their country.

It's not fascism to ban people for being an asshole. You're not entitled... I know this is a really mind-blowing concept, but let me emphasize this as best as I can... you're not entitled access to every Western nation on the planet. Just because leftists support mass-migration and letting in millions of people who hate Western nations, doesn't make it a rule that you can go wherever you want.

>Throwing out freedom of speech
That thing that britbongistan never had? Again, were you this outraged when those racist white supremacists were getting banned, jailed, deported, etc. for their anti-Islam speech?
Or is it (D)ifferent when it happens to you?

Anti-Islam is against freedom of religion which is a thing in Britain. Cenk wasn’t being against freedom of religion for criticising a foreign government. Cenk isn’t a racist either, and fwiw I prefer racists and any kind of anti-religious nutjobs not be allowed into my country.
So no you can’t equate criticism of a government with anti-religion sentiments.

>So no you can’t equate criticism of a government with anti-religion sentiments.
No I can and I will. Cenk had no fucking problem, and neither did you, with people on the right getting banned. Now Cenk wants to cry about it when his leftist ass gets banned when he built his entire career off of shit-talking every Western nation. It was all cool until it happened to him. And the bitch of it all is he still has a platform to keep whining about it because the country he lives in, that he hates, allows him to do so.

Using this angle is going to be like complaining about egg prices in a week or two.
It's amazing when the actual adults are in charge and they don't create multi year disasters with their dumb policy mistakes.

>whats the problem with this again?
Free speech is a universal principle.
Hasan is doing the commie thing of just wanting to oppress other people. The Young Turks is the name of a genocidal regime by the way.

I don’t see any evidence that or reason to believe he is a racist. Screeching that he is to you isn’t proof, it just means you’re possibly not a sane person.
I think I know why they blocked him, I think it’s because they worry that him speaking against Israel will potentially incite antisemitic attacks, it’s nothing he did it’s just they’re trying to protect the children from hearing anything bad about anyone and misinterpreting it
>>
>>1517794
ahh yes because he's not racist to you he's not racist at all real egotistical there, infidel,
he amplifies the worst parts of the extreme left movement which they all agree with just politics you don't want the goddamn moron broadcasting your tactics. at least now they can pretend to crack down on extreme leftists beliefs while actually supporting them.

americans have been using racism to define hitler despite him being antisemitic, jews aren't a separate race. you're a retard who only uses conventionally accepted definitions when it applies to you then going "ummm actually TECHNICALLY", you're a retard a cretin and you should get euthanized farewell.
By any and all definitions Hasan piker is a racist just like YOU
>>
>>1517798
You’re saying by conventional definitions, the ones you’re accusing me of using, he isn’t racist. And then you’re saying he is racist by all definitions, including the conventional definition.
Do you not see the incongruous nature of your thoughts?

> talking shit about religion
Not the same as an attack on freedom of religion. That is to say that criticism of a religion is not the same as declaring your intention to prohibit a religion. The former is free speech, which is allowed, whereas the latter is going against the fundamental right to freedom of religion, which is not allowed.
It’s an obvious and clear distinction.
>>
>>
>>1517802
There are limits to freedom of speech. You’d know them if you knew what you’re talking about, but you don’t. Espousing an intention to dismantle the guaranteed right of freedom of religion is not a matter of free speech, it is a direct expression of intent to destroy long agreed upon and accepted principles of civilization.
Anyway, I can’t help you further, if you don’t want to understand things as they are that’s a personal choice.

You vocally support whatever restrictions on free speech the old pedo who's balls you suck demands, but won't even condemn hate speech. That's because you're a shitty person and a massive hypocrite.

lol then you don't have free speech, retard. If you can't simultaneously say that the UK government sucks dicks and Jews own the world, without legal repercussions, then you don't live in a nation with free speech. The end.
>Anyway, I can’t help you further, if you don’t want to understand things as they are that’s a personal choice.
Talk about projecting.

Define hate speech (and thank Christ we don't have anti-hate speech laws in America).

There are always limits to free speech, anon. The classic example of screaming "Fire!" in a movie theater comes to mind. If there is no fire, you will likely be thrown out of the theater and possibly arrested. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

That’s fine but his being denied entry doesn’t have to be because of a lack of free speech in the UK, that’s my actual point that I’m making.
He obviously said something the UK doesn’t like and they decided they don’t want to invite him into their country.
>>
>>1517867
Literally what I said yesterday. The free speech argument got brought up when some bong got offended by that fact here >>1517698
Which started the whole 'does UK have free speech or not' debate.
>protip: no
Even if the UK did have freedom of speech, and they don't - but if they did, they're fine to ban some non-citizen from their country. Which makes it hilarious that Cenk thinks he's being oppressed.

LMAO, Euros will do so many mental gymnastics to avoid admitting that you live in a totalitarian shithole. How many Europeans get those settlements when they're arrested for disagreeing with the government? Did Count Dankula ever get a settlement for having his rights infringed?

Uh, because even though peoples lives are upended for months and millions of taxpayer dollars are wasted on lawyers and settlements, free speech is sorta upheld!
Study it out

People have been arrested for posting things online, that’s treated the same as publishing media by law. It’s not free “speech” if you’re publishing and disseminating it, and if it’s also incitement then yes of course those people get arrested because the expression of their views in that manner is harmful to civilization.
There’s still free speech in the UK, there’s always parliamentary privilege and things like speakers corner and as far as I know nobody gets arrested for merely saying things that don’t lead to criminal activity (as defined by the law).
Mostly these are retards trying to argue that the UK has changed somehow, it hasn’t changed since Catholic Emancipation, and these retards are merely repeating what they’re being told to repeat. And no they don’t have to let anyone into the UK if there’s any reason not to, especially when all these, by the way foreign, guys are going to do is talk shit about the UK government.
In conclusion, the UK has free speech and a free press but they aren’t cucks about it.
>>
>>1517928
The claim is that the UK doesn’t have free speech. There’s two things to address regarding this;
It is generally agreed that the UK does have free speech.
And, the burden of proof is on the one making the claim.
Now, have a fun time trying to prove a negative assumption. As >>1517961 you have no argument left once things like parliamentary privilege and the speakers corner are taken as evidence that free speech, however limited, does indeed exist in the UK.
>>
>>1517961
firstly you're an absolute cretin whose redefining free speech as solely IN PERSON SPEECH.
secondly you're a literal moron who doesn't follow the laws in the damn country it has changed they literally just added LGBTQ+ into the protected groups in april of THIS YEAR so any criticism of that group is treated as hate speech as well.
retard
>the UK has free speech and a free press but they aren’t cucks about it.
ur a literal subhuman who doesn't understand what either of those mean, Americans are retards but i guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree you goat fucking bigot.
>>
>>1517961
>people get arrested because the expression of their views in that manner is harmful to civilization.
then its not free speech, even america doesn't even have absolute free speech credible terrorist threats are a crime.
UK has limited speech.
>>1517962
Ahh yes the imaginary its all free speech except XYZ, rendering it utterly meaningless.
by ur definition even China has free speech you're allowed to say what you like and i'm sure alot of people do online, short of a dictatorial regime like north korea where everything is censored the entire global population with any access to the internet is free speech just ignore the part where you get arrested for bad degrees of opinions and threats.
>>
>>
>>1517962
>It is generally agreed that the UK does have free speech.
By who, generally? Because by American standards, the UK does not have free speech.
>And, the burden of proof is on the one making the claim.
Others in this thread have already brought up examples of people in the UK who were either arrested or banned for their speech, without them making immediate calls to violence.
And as this anon here said
>>1517961
>those people get arrested because the expression of their views in that manner is harmful to civilization.
By that standard I could argue any speech advocating for transgenderism is harmful to civilization and should be totally banned.

>>1517963
