An infamous pick-up artist has been forced to cancel an anti-female rally in Newcastle.
Roosh V - who believes rape should be legal in a private property and women should be banned from voting - announced events for right across the UK.
Heterosexual 'superior' men were to meet on Saturday night at Greys Monument in Newcastle but it has now been cancelled after Roosh V claims he could no longer guarantee the safety of those taking part.
Northumbria's Police and Crime Commissioner Vera Baird QC has written to the Home Secretary, Theresa May, urging her to ban Roosh V from entering the UK.
She said: “Valizadeh (Roosh V) views are abhorrent and not something that we want in Newcastle.
"He has produced videos described as ‘thinly veiled guides to rape’ by those who have seen them.
"He needs to receive a loud and clear message that he is not speaking for Newcastle and that the police will arrest and prosecute any actions or words amounting to incitement or encouragement to sexual assault or which might be hate crime
“The Home Secretary can ban people from entering the United Kingdom, a number of people who have fostered hatred have been banned from our country.
"The UK Border Agency can turn someone away if they feel a person’s "character, conduct or associations" would not be "conducive to the public good", Valizadeh clearly fits this criteria – so if he is thinking of coming to the United Kingdom this weekend, the Home Secretary and UK Border Agency have grounds to refuse him entry”.
