This is The Guardian.

Today, the left-wing US commentators banned from coming to Britain. A few days ago, Jen Kuga was at the airport.

So I went to LAX in Los Angeles, going to Heathrow.

Didn't think twice about it.

I have that ETA last two years, and since I'd come to speak at Oxford last year,

it was still in effect. An ETA, an electronic travel authorization, allows travelers to enter the

UK. But Jenk, a left-wing commentator and host of the Young Turks YouTube channel, was having

some problems. I couldn't log on from my computer, which I found to be a little bit strange, but I thought,

oh, I'll probably have to give the ETA number at the terminal.

So I go to the terminal, and a woman comes to help me, and she tries to check me in through

a kiosk and says, oh, that's weird. I can't check you in. Let's go look at my

computer terminal, and she does. She says, oh, wow, I've never seen this. You've been rejected

by the British government. We're not allowed to put you on the plane. You can't board because the British government has withdrawn your ETA and said you're not allowed to enter the country.

How did you fail?

Well, at first I thought it was a bureaucratic stafoo.

I was like, well, that can't be right.

That's absurd.

I was just there, right?

And there's no reason to ban me.

Then that piece from The Times came out about 15 or 20 minutes after that.

As Jenk found out, he'd been banned from entering the UK, seemingly for things he'd said about

Israel in the past.
