Hassan Piker, one of the biggest and controversial political streamers on the planet, just got banned from an entire country.The UK revoked Hassan's travel pass days before he was set to speak at Oxford and South by Southwest London.And actually his uncle, Young Dark's host, Cenk Uygur, he got the same ban.

And as far as the official reason, the government said their presence is not conducive to the public good.So we got no specifics, but you had Hassan saying that it's about Israel and he pointed to a labor MP and a Jewish charity that pushed to ban him over past comments.With reports noting his lesser evil voting lines, things like he'd say that he'd vote for Hamas over Israel every time.

But also one of the things that's really interesting here, Hassan was actually headed back to the Oxford Union where just last year he gave a speech calling anti -Semitism a canary in the coal mine of fascism.

Or with his fans saying it's absolutely wild that he's being kept out.And as far as Cenk, you get the Times of London saying that he got flagged for claiming that Israel controls America, though Cenk's saying that this ban kind of proves the point.But for now, we'll have to wait to see what happens.They can both reapply for a visa, but follow to stay in the loop.
