Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker, both due to speak at the Oxford Union later this week, have been barred from entering the UK after the Home Office revoked their Electronic Travel Authorisations (ETAs).

Both were also due to take part in events at South by Southwest London (SXSW), a music, film, and technology festival.
