Lauren Southern Speaks to European Parliament on Right-Wingers Banned From UK

[Populist UK MEP Janice Atkinson of the Europe of Nations and Freedom], who serves as a Vice-President of the ENF, a group which has included Dutch firebrand Geert Wilders, former French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, Italian La Lega leader Matteo Salvini, and others, slammed the UK government for detaining and refusing entry to Ms. Southern under the UK terrorism act.

Atkinson railed against the government, which she said should be looking outward to the rest of the world in terms of trade after Brexit, for refusing Southern entry.

Ms. Southern, who was detained under the Terrorism Act for "inciting racial hatred" for a social experiment she and others undertook in which they claimed "Allah is a gay God", explained her story of being detained and asked questions such as her thoughts on running down Muslims with a truck.

Just had a chat with @Lauren_Southern about her pathetic ban from UK with wonderful @Janice_Atkinson. Good enough to be in @Europarl_EN but not London embarrassing free speech allowed here but not UK pic.twitter.com/tto21uYHF4

She also gave context to the "Allah is a gay God" social experiment claiming she had been inspired by a Vice News article from 2015 which claimed Jesus Christ had been a homosexual man and wanted to see if such speech was allowed when referring to other religions in the UK.
