Irish independence as a ‘domestic issue’

It is wrong to have her views on Irish independence listed as a ‘domestic issue’. Irish independence and national sovereignty is no more a British ‘domestic issue’ than US, Italian, or Japanese sovereignty. 2A02:C7E:3338:BC00:9892:562:49BD:C9E6 (talk) 14:09, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

far-right political views

It is wrong to define Phillips as "far-right". 2A06:C701:4512:5A00:E4A0:F1B2:5E20:B9B3 (talk) 16:55, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're talking about far-right in the lead sentence? It was done on 16 March 2024 when 31.205.97.209 changed "journalist, author, and" to "far-right". Later Alexanderkowal reverted some of31.205.97.209's changes but left this one. Then 17 March 2024 86.30.221.122 changed "far-right" to "right-wing", but Lemonaka 3 minutes later reverted with an edit summary claiming that 86.30.221.122 was doing "Disruptive editing". Then today Athousandcuts2005 got rid of "far-right". I support. I'd favour restoring "journalist, author" too. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 17:36, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Peter Gulutzan you’d make a great historian! Alexanderkowal (talk) 18:25, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Peter Gulutzan, 2A06:C701:4512:5A00:E4A0:F1B2:5E20:B9B3, and Athousandcuts2005: my edit didn't say she was far right, it said she identified with some far right views which is evidenced by her support for Eurabia conspiracy theory, which says in the lead it is a far right conspiracy theory, and ultraconservatism, which says it usually refers to conservatives of the far right. This is not up for debate. I'm sorry but my edit was correct. For the record, Dear lots of numbers and 1000 cuts, if you like her and agree with her on some things, that doesn't make you far right, but if you agree with some of the far right ideas she espouses it does.

I'm inclined to remove the "right" or "far-right" description if there is no reliable sources or further discussion. -Lemonaka‎ 00:15, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
