UK Revokes Dutch Influencer’s Travel Authorization
Eva Vlaardingerbroek, a prominent Dutch conservative influencer, recently lost her authorization for visa travel to the United Kingdom. She shared an email from the UK government on X, indicating that her electronic travel authorization (ETA) was revoked. This revocation means she now requires a visa to enter the country.
Reasons Behind the Revocation
The UK government stated that Vlaardingerbroek’s presence is “not considered to be conducive to the public good.” This vague reasoning has sparked confusion and debate. Vlaardingerbroek expressed her bewilderment, questioning the rationale behind such a requirement for entry, particularly in light of ongoing undocumented migration across the channel.
Vlaardingerbroek’s Political Stance
- She is a vocal critic of the UK’s mass migration policies.
- Vlaardingerbroek argues that these policies allow dangerous individuals into the country, jeopardizing public safety.
Just days prior to the notification about her ETA, Vlaardingerbroek criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s approach to online safety. She referred to the Prime Minister’s crackdown on social media platform X as hypocritical, accusing him of neglecting the serious issues of violence against women and girls linked to migration.
Recent Activities in the UK
Vlaardingerbroek participated in the Unite the Kingdom rally, organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson. She wore a T-shirt that displayed “Generation Remigration,” symbolizing her support for mass deportations.
Support from US Commentators
The influencer’s predicament attracted attention in the United States, where conservative commentator Megyn Kelly voiced her support. She retweeted Vlaardingerbroek’s post, labeling the situation as “insane.” This incident exemplifies the growing tensions between American social media practices and UK regulations.
Conclusion
The revocation of Eva Vlaardingerbroek’s ETA raises important questions about immigration policy and individual rights. As debates on these issues continue, the implications for both the Netherlands and the UK remain significant.
