Plain and simple.\u201dHe added that his government would continue taking action against individuals accused of encouraging extremism and violence.\u201cWe will ban those coming into the UK who seek to stir it up, as we have done already,\u201d Starmer said.Tarczynski, a member of Poland\u2019s right-wing Law and Justice party, responded to Starmer&#8217;s post after reports that his UK electronic travel authorisation had been cancelled before the rally.\u201cI am a democratically elected Member of the European Parliament. I represent the European Union,\u201d Tarczynski wrote.\u201cYou will pay for calling me a hate-mongering agitator.\u201dThe Polish politician also claimed he would pursue legal action against Starmer personally after the next UK election.\u201cI will patiently wait until the British cast you onto the ash heap of history. Then I will come to defend my honor, and the honor of my voters, in court,\u201d he wrote.The exchange comes as British authorities move to block several foreign right-wing figures from entering the country ahead of the demonstration.Starmer argued that Britain remained \u201ca country built on decency, fairness and respect\u201d and insisted that the majority of people in the UK rejected divisive politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Polish Member of the European Parliament Dominik Tarczynski has threatened legal action against UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2387],"tags":[27472,258,27474,100,21274,27473],"class_list":{"0":"post-43151","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-european-parliament","8":"tag-dominik-tarczynski","9":"tag-european-parliament","10":"tag-hatred-and-division","11":"tag-keir-starmer","12":"tag-legal-action","13":"tag-london-rally"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
