Conservative Influencer Eva Vlaardingerbroek Hit With UK Travel Ban
Conservative firebrand Eva Vlaardingerbroek, 29, has been blocked from entering Britain after the government cancelled her Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).
Vlaardingerbroek said the Home Office informed her that her “presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good.”
The Dutch commentator has built a large following by taking on Europe’s political sacred cows, most notably the Netherlands’ climate policies, which triggered mass farmer protests in 2023.
On 9 January, Vlaardingerbroek posted on X in response to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s claim that the government’s pressure on the platform is about “women’s safety.”
“Keir Starmer wants to crack down on X under the pretense of ‘women’s safety’, whilst he’s the one allowing the ongoing rape and killing of British girls by migrant rape gangs,” she wrote.
The controversy comes as the Labour government is reportedly weighing whether to take action against X, owned by Elon Musk, following a backlash over the platform’s Grok AI “bikini” content, which was generating and sharing sexually suggestive “bikini” images of women including public figures after being prompted by users.
Vlaardingerbroek exclusion mirrors an earlier case involving French anti-immigration writer Renaud Camus, who was banned from the UK in April.
Camus, 78, was also told his presence was “not conducive to the public good” ahead of a planned appearance at the Oxford Union. He is best known for coining the term “Great Replacement,” the theory that European populations are being displaced by mass migration.
Critics of the government’s approach have pointed to what they see as a double standard, noting that Egyptian activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah expressing hatred toward white people and calling for violence against police and Zionists in old Twitter posts, was nevertheless welcomed by the UK authorities, in what many saw as a bizarre effort to fast-track him toward British citizenship.
El-Fattah recently, sort of, apologised for the posts but also said that people bringing them up was doing it as part of a “smear campaign.”
