It is totally unthinkable that an elected politician from a nation as close to us as Poland - a close ally and NATO partner - from the same party as the Polish President, is denied entry to our country for what appears to be nothing more than political reasons.
In a free democracy, we do not silence those with whom we disagree and political censorship has no place in Britain. The decision to bar
@D_Tarczynski sets a deeply disturbing precedent and raises serious questions about freedom of speech in the country where that principle first thrived.
Today I’ve written to the Prime Minister urging him to lift the ban on Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński that prevents him from speaking at CPAC GB.
Britain pioneered free speech - now our Government has become known for its suppression and banning people it does not agree with.
CPAC GB - in London from 16-18th July - will champion free speech and the change our country needs.
