Lutz Bachmann: Founder of far-right anti-Islam group Pegida barred from entry to UK and deported
‘Border Force has the power to refuse entry to an individual if it is considered that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good’
The founder of far right anti-Islam group Pegida has been barred from entry to the UK and deported from Stansted airport.
Lutz Bachmann, who has led anti-immigration marches of tens of thousands of people, landed at Stansted airport on Saturday night.
He was detained and subsequently expelled from the UK on Sunday morning. The Home Office told The Independent Bachmann was refused entry on grounds his presence in Britain was not in the interest of the public good.
“Border Force has the power to refuse entry to an individual if it is considered that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good,” said a spokesperson.
Supporters say Bachmann was due to speak alongside Tommy Robinson – the former English Defence League leader who founded a subsidiary branch of Pegida in the UK – at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park on Sunday.
