 The UK just banned Cenk Uygur from entering the country.

He was set to speak at SXSW London and Oxford, but he was denied entry at the airport.

He says it's because he criticizes Israel. His nephew Hasan Piker got the same treatment.

What is going on guys? Why are we banning people for having an opinion on things?

 The UK just banned Hasan Piker from entering the country, revoking their visas hours before SXSW London.

Jewish advocacy groups and a Labour MP pushed for it over Hasan's comments on Israel and Hamas. The Home Office complied.

Hasan is calling it a betrayal of liberal values  x.com/MarioNawfal/st…
