Littlejohn has also been criticized for his views on other issues, including his support for the UK's withdrawal from the European Union and his opposition to the UK's membership in the Human Rights Act.
Despite the controversy surrounding his columns, Littlejohn remains a popular and influential figure in British journalism.

However, his columns have also been widely criticized and have sparked numerous complaints to the UK's press regulator, the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO).
