A right-wing influencer who talked about ‘parasites raping their way through the UK’ has been banned from travelling to Britain.
Joey Mannarino has been blocked from entering the UK by the Home Office ahead of his planned appearance at a Tommy Robinson Rally this month.
Officials said his presence was ‘not conducive to the public good’ as they cancelled his Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).
Mannarino posted on X to tell his followers that he had used the ETA to come to the UK four or five times since last May.

He had been planning to fly back again for a Unite the Kingdom rally, organised by Robinson, on May 16 and then a Conservative Political Action Conference, hosted by Liz Truss, in July.
The Home Office has now blocked that from happening.
The rejection notice, published on X, read: ‘Your UK ETA has been cancelled from 6 May, 2026. This means you cannot travel to the UK without a visa. This is because: Your presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good. You cannot appeal this decision.
‘If you still want to travel to the UK, you need to apply for a visa so we can consider your circumstances in more detail. Having your ETA cancelled does not mean you will be refused a visa.’
Mannarino has come to the UK before for far-right marches.
Last summer, he attended a March for Remigration event organised by far-right Britain First.
Pressure group Hope not Hate reports that Mannarino used a speech at the event to tell the crowd: ‘We need to deport the parasites who are raping their way through America, Europe and the United Kingdom.’
He also sparked fury with a tweet saying he would ‘never believe a victim of rape again in my life no matter the verdict in court’ in relation to the sex case against President Trump.
He added: ‘All rape cases have just become fake to me.’
Mannarino is not the first US MAGA figure to be banned from attending Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom Rally.
Valentina Gomez, a self-styled anti-Muslim influencer, was also banned from coming to the UK last month.
Gomez dared the Government to stop her while suggesting Donald Trump’s White House would intervene if the authorities tried to arrest her.
Shabana Mahmood also stopped Kanye West from coming to the UK to perform at Wireless Festival this summer over his past antisemitic comments.
Mannarino tweeted about the Home Office email: ‘Today, I just woke up to this notice in my email. They have banned an American citizen from their country for no apparent reason whatsoever. I assume for matters of freedom of speech, but they haven’t clarified.
‘I will most certainly be appealing that decision and applying for a visa through the formal process to see exactly why they’ve deemed me ineligible to come over.
‘Free speech is DEAD in the United Kingdom. Absolutely dead. The Labour government has taken whatever was left of it and destroyed it.’
Metropolitan Police is reviewing whether Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom march will go ahead in the wake of the Golders Green terror attack.
They are also considering whether a pro-Palestine Nakba Day march should go ahead on the same day.
The final decision rests with Mahmood, who could also choose to downgrade one or both protests to ‘static’ events to reduce the risk of disruption.
