Karen’s Diner/Katie Hopkins - cancel?

Probably ones who think they are too cool for school and that parenthood wouldn't change them! But they are still subjecting their children to being abused by strangers in restaurants. If you want to do that, do it, but dont do a #sadface in the local paper when your child is subjected to abuse in a restaurant. .

@EasternStandard I can tell you with certainty she does not ‘like’ people who follow unless they are earning money for her.

Most influencers are the same - of course they have to pretend otherwise to keep everyone sweet but ultimately unless they are making money from someone following they couldn’t care less about them.
It’s business. Click bait is Katie’s business because she will never have a job in media again because she is a liability who will literally say anything to get attention even if she doesn’t believe it.

I believe there were posts on here years ago from people who knew her and the shocking persona was just a front. Maybe she has become more right wing but it’s all based in a cynical ploy to grift as much money from people as possible. Looking to her for telling the truth and standing up for the little people is like looking to Boris Johnson for monogamy guidance.

is she

or does she make money from acting that way?
I think she is certainly right wing thinking, but know she can tap into the far right agenda to boost her income. Money is what makes KH tick

Parents must be idiots to even think this is an acceptable place to take a child.

She’s a fascist.

this ^

People following her make her money, those quoting supply free publicity to help get more followers

I’m not commenting here on content more that anyone who has found a way to earn money just by talking or whatever tend to really like the people who follow, as it does pay their bills.

Your whole day sounds hideous. Can you not find something better to do?

Lol

Bloody hell, from what I’ve read previously I’d assumed it was an adult only place. Can’t believe parents would take their children in there and then let them be subjected to this abuse.
I can’t imagine what sort of people would find this sort of concept is funny.

• to add - so the people she loathes are those who quote her and her tell it like is stuff but don’t sit on her lives or buy her tickets for those embarrassing tours. Most rage to engage ‘influencers’ are the same.

Anyone who thinks KH or that thumb with a beard Andrew Tate value support in any other form except cold hard cash are deluded.

Hypocrite.

@EasternStandard she can only pay bills if she gets enough views and engagement - a lot of people like to say ‘I love her, she tells jt like it is’ based on her reputation for saying outrageous shit, not because they sit on her YouTube or tiktok live ‘pub rants’ day in day out, which is her main income stream and not a consistent one.

So people quoting her but not actually viewing her doesn’t make her money and actually means she has to stoop lower and lower to hook people in via click bait.

Her current clickbait is to make fun of and promote conspiracy theories about Kate Garraway and Derek Draper. That’s not an incisive political activist upholding free speech, it’s a desperate, often drunk seeming ex sleb being the village gossip for attention.

She's only concerned with the right to rightwing speech, like the rest in Toby Young's cabal.

Hang on she can pay bills with it. Why would she loathe people helping her earn money?

Those loving Katie for her tell it like it is style and how spot on she is - you do know she views you as nothing more than pockets to empty via clickbait, right? Her contempt for ‘lefties’ is matched only by her contempt for her supporters.

She is now completely unemployable by any media platform so you, dear suckers, are her meal ticket and she loathes you for it because she can’t pay bills with clapping hand emojis and ‘the lefties don’t like it up ‘em’ schtick being parrotted here.
You are only useful idiots if you are shelling out via clicks, shares and views, otherwise she just considers you idiots.

I’d cancel - nothing to do with Katie Hopkins though. It looks shit.

‘It’s my eldest’s 30th this year, and as a surprise I’ve planned a day out for us on March 17th. We’re going to Hello Kitty cafe, Priscilla the Party and ending up in Karen’s Diner in Islington.’

OP I know everyone is different but would this really be your daughter’s ideal day out in London? It’s such a great city; this day feels very contrived, with lots of waiting around and not much fun. What else is she into? If she likes cafes, why not a nice afternoon tea somewhere good? Or tickets for an exhibition?

Why do people who literally hate KH read everything she says and follow her on Twitter?

if someone really annoyed me i wouldn’t read what they post.
Another forum I’m on people hate Nigel Farage yet know everything about him, watch him on GB news etc etc. then go on social media & moan about him. It’s like an obsession.

I think it's a typo and they meant far-right.

Maybe less daytime drinking for you. I’m not saying I agree with everything that she says. But she’s pretty spot on most of the time.

Her views tend to be polarising and often quite far from my own but what she does highlight to me is how important Free Speech is, how lucky we are to have it ( just..) in the UK. And that I approve of.

@Whenwillitgetwarm what an odd response. Are you drunk.

Yes, it is still there. I think it is under new management because although they gave me the bill before I asked for it, no one was rude, just no frills. Place was packed so the food has probably improved.
