American far-right influencer Valentina Gomez has sparked controversy once again after sharing that she has been granted UK travel permission despite her past anti-Islam content, including videos of her burning a Quran with a flamethrower.

The US-based MAGA figure, previously criticised for anti-Muslim remarks, is scheduled to speak at Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” rally in central London on 16 May. In a post on X, Gomez celebrated her approved travel authorisation while making inflammatory claims about UK authorities and repeating anti-Muslim rhetoric. In the post on X, she wrote:

“VISA APPROVED. See you on 16 May in England. Keir Starmer, Shabana Mahmood and the UK Home Office, you’re only good at protecting Muslim rape gangs. Try to arrest me and see what happens. England belongs to the English. Not the Mohameds.”

Gomez, who promotes hardline “America First” and once posted a video simulating the execution of an undocumented immigrant, is now set to appear as a speaker at Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” rally on 16 May in central London.

The footage of the 26-year-old burning the holy book in August last year went viral on social media, leading to a ban on most platforms, except for X, which is where she continues to spread her hate speech. In the video, Gomez stated that her objective was to “end Islam in Texas.” She further urged Muslims to leave the state, saying, “Muslims can f*** off to any of the 57 Muslim nations.”

In May, London will reportedly be her latest platform, when she will appear at Robinson’s far-right rally, which former X-Factor judge Sharon Osbourne is also said to be attending the rally despite recieiving backlash. At Robinson’s last “Unite the Kingdom” rally in 2025, attendance was estimated at about 110,000 to 150,000 people, making it one of the largest far-right demonstrations in modern UK history. There was also a counter-protest of about 5,000 people organised by anti-racism groups. The self-proclaimed supporter of US President Donald Trump’s trip to the UK is already being protested by online observers.
