Her interview with Kay Burley was pretty far right, resulting in the interview being cut short.

“most importantly, they’ll have to accept that diversity is not a strength; it’s a weakness.”
― Lauren Southern, Barbarians: How The Baby Boomers, Immigration, and Islam Screwed my Generation

Genuinely, hundred of examples online. She is pretty far right. I'm not offering my opinion on her politics but to deny she is far right is somewhat disengenuos.

Some of the stuff she comes out with is pretty far right. A quick google on her throws up some pretty vile stuff. Far right would describe her well. Not on the extreme right but her views on homosexuality and race put her in that camp I would say.

I'll take this for him if you do not mind.

Lauren Southern has written a book entitled 'Barbarians: How Baby Boomers, Immigrants, and Islam Screwed My Generation' I would say blaming an entire religion, immigrants and ones own parents is a pretty right wing discourse.

She sells various items of merchandise through her website with the phrase 'deus vult' on them. A clear reference to the crusades. So advocating religious war. That is pretty right wing too. Also what she is often implicitly criticising Islam for. Plus she sells Right wing hog squad merchandise too, so even she herself thinks she is far right.

Then is just the people she hangs out with, Vlaams Belang, EDL, Phalanx Europe etc etc.

Not really sure you are trying to make out that she is not far right, she certainly doesn't.

Saw the interview. Still not far right in my opinion. I follow many people who are considered far right by the media/establishment, but I wouldn't consider them to be.

BeHereNow said:

And have you read the book? I don't see how criticising an ideology is far right, nor blaming a generation or immigration.

She is definitely not advocating religious war.

I didn't say she wasn't right wing. Maybe try watching more of her videos.

I have seen enough of her videos to know that she puts herself outside Mosques, or at LGBTQ rallies, or somewhere else where people do not hold her views whilst desperately hoping someone will attack her verbally or otherwise so she can say I told you so. The videos are mostly a complete waste of time. Then there are a bunch behind a paywall and I am not going to fund this women

Pantani said:

No I have not read her book, nor will I.

Using symbols and phrases from the crusades is entirely separate from the idea of religious war? Could not be further from the truth really. She is trying to be clever by pointing out all these problems with multiculturalism whilst not ever using the exact words that would condemn her as a right wing zealot.

Let me guess, she also magically has a film crew following her around all the time (see Tommy Robinson) for it all to be caught on tape?
