A Polish Catholic priest with a history of antisemitic and Islamophobic statements has been prevented from entering the UK.

Jacek Międlar was among three Polish nationals stopped by border authorities on Saturday morning.

They were due to speak at a rally held in Birmingham by far-right group Britain First.

The group’s deputy leader, Jayda Fransen, told IBTimes UK: “They have not committed any crime, it’s completely ridiculous.”
