Katie Hopkins - what’s her deal??

134 replies

Meshy12 · 03/01/2020 23:37

I mean she is just vile based on her tweets - full of what can only be seen to be white supremacy and racism and then switching to supporting India against Pakistan/Islam

Examples;

  • comparing migrants to cockroaches
  • complaining about migrants ruining New Year’s Eve in Germany
  • saying that it’s ok to be white (or course it is) and that the white are “winning” (winning what??)
  • being very rude to stormzy and Meghan marker
  • hating asylum seekers but praying for Aussies to be able to escape the current situation (and not understanding the irony in that at all)
  • complaining about children who are named after places and that she wouldn’t want her kids to know them (her own child is called India)
And so on

There are too many examples to mention both recent and old and she just seems to be getting worse

I shouldn’t see her output but I do - and it enrages me

Is she doing it for attention? Why is she even allowed to say these things without being done for a hate crime? Why is she allowed an outlet in the press (I think she is even worse than the garbage spouted out by the daily fail)

Even piers Morgan has told her she is a horrible racist

She was mean about kids names being place names - then the interviewer pointed out her daughter is called India. D’uh!

PortiaCastis · 05/01/2020 13:14

A distinct case of pot and kettle on the names
Also if she's going to be a nasty bitch about others she needs to make sure she's perfect herself i.e. dont shag someone else's husband in a field
All the nastiness will come back to bite her on the bum and I feel really sorry for her children who probably get bullied because of her arseholery

TwoOneBravo · 05/01/2020 13:18

She’s a professional troll. I doubt she actually believes half the stuff she comes out with but saying something vile every couple of months or so keeps her in the headlines. It makes her a living, I suppose.

Lllot5 · 05/01/2020 13:22

I think when you start off being mildly offensive and controversial and you get noticed and notoriety from it you have to up the ante to get the same responses and that’s whats happened here.
I used to think if we all ignored her she’d go away now I’m not so sure.

Lordfrontpaw · 05/01/2020 13:23

But what happens when you ignore a small, badly behaved child who is trying to get attention? Maybe she just needs a few years on the naughty step?

"Everything she says is on point"

I suggest you read her Twitter feed. She capitalises on peoples grief, she is divisive, bigoted and nasty, she kicks people when they are down, she is racist through and through. An abhorrent woman and it's beyond me who anyone can think that 'everything she says is on point'.

Shock

Nightwish1 · 05/01/2020 13:56

Using a murdered child for clicks is on point?

Lordfrontpaw · 05/01/2020 14:43

Does she ever whine about people being ‘mean’ to her? Just wondering if she has any self awareness at all.

Bryzeebubs78 · 05/01/2020 15:15

So the left can say whatever they want and she's not? She's a strong woman who is allowed her opinion. I follow her on Twitter. She's a true brit who is just as sick of wilts happening in her country as a lot of people. Only problem is she's a woman who many believe should be tied to the kitchen sink. I say go on Katie you shout your mouth. That's the point of social media, you can say what you feel. She's strong enough to take it and can come back stronger. As for the affair, she's only human and has admitted to it. You can't help who you fall in love with, and they've showed they're still together. If you don't like Katie then move along or just don't follow her. I for one love her. She's a breath of fresh air reporting on issues many are blinded by by false propaganda. It's about time you opened your eyes and seen the world for what it truly is and not what you're lead to believe. Happy new year folks. Brexit is coming

Iggly · 05/01/2020 15:21

So the left can say whatever they want and she's not?

She can say what she likes.

However she, like anyone from any part of the political spectrum, will face the consequences of what she says.

Simple 🤷🏻‍♀️

Freedom of speech does not mean you can say what you like without reaction or upset.

Iggly · 05/01/2020 15:23

What propaganda? The likes of Katie are propaganda personified IMO.

Nightwish1 · 05/01/2020 15:23

We get it Bryzeebubs you'd use dead children for money.

TheHumansAreDefinitelyDead · 05/01/2020 15:30

Professional troll

And sometimes she (possibly) has a point.

You mention the migrant issue on NYE in Germany last year. That was shocking. The left wing press refused to write about local German women suffering mass sexual harassment from recent migrants.

It went unreported as the leftwing (all?) press thought that the news would fuel feelings of Racism. Think about that.

The moment that reporting an actual fact constitutes Racism, is the moment some people say "wait a moment"

It was (possibly) the one issue she was right to call out.

It made me despair of the Guardian at the time...

Mumsypoo101 · 05/01/2020 16:00

She gets away with saying it because we live in a democracy and are allowed free speech (to some degree) you cannot give offense to someone, they choose to take it.
She's not enciting violence or anything of the sort she's just giving her opinion, same way as you are yours.
There are worrying things happening in the UK and Katy is just keeping them in peoples minds as the mainstream media won't report on them.

Roussette · 05/01/2020 16:01

Bryzeebubs78

Fine. You agree with all she says and love her. She spouts continual hate language and loving her says more about you than anything else you say

No one has said she should be tied to the sink that I know of. Strange thing to say.

If that's what it means to be a 'true Brit', then it won't be a phrase I'll be using about myself.

Nightwish1 · 05/01/2020 16:22

Rousette it's the victim narrative her and support like to paint.

They're speaking truths and the big old meanstream media are bullying them.

Most of the issues she has been speaking out against are in the mainstream media all the time or flat out fake scaremongering like she did with Alisha Macphail or her new anti vax fad.

chomalungma · 05/01/2020 16:26

Something happens in the world - and her first action is to tweet about it and blame Muslims / immigrants.

She never retracts that when she is wrong.

All she does is reinforce hatred towards others. The world has experience of people like that before - people would deliberately spread false narratives to create hatred towards a group.

Roussette · 05/01/2020 16:38

So calling refugees fleeing from brutality 'cockroaches' and saying we should employ gunships to shoot them is 'just her being honest' ?

She hates breastfeeding mothers, fat people (they are lazy and stupid), pesky brown people, red haired people., people who have tattoos are thick and stupid.. she calls for a 'final solution' after the Manchester bombing - she was sacked from LBC for that, rightly so.

It's beyond me how anyone could love her.

Lordfrontpaw · 05/01/2020 16:43

I can’t think of many groups of people she hasn’t insulted to be honest. She’d even had a go at herself (with the kids names as place names jibe).

Patroclus · 05/01/2020 17:05

Yeah, nobody ever criticises the left and Corbyn in this country do they....

I could say the same thing about your name on here and terrible grammar in regards to your 'homelife', Bryzeebubs78

By the way, what isnt a 'true brit'?

Patroclus · 05/01/2020 17:07

80% (more now) of the media in this country are right wing, why couldnt they report it, Humans?

Meshy12 · 05/01/2020 17:15

She also states that “feminists can do one” and that “we already have equality in England” and that “woman just need to grow a thicker skin”

So it doesn’t sound like she is doing much to stop women being chained to the kitchen sink if that is your concern @Bryzeebubs78

And you can have concerns about immigration (if that is the issue you mean when you talk about True Brits having concerns) without calling black people feral or saying one should shoot migrants

She even failed to have compassion for Grenfell

Come on - have some decency and humanity for goodness sake

She is a buffoon

OP posts:
Meshy12 · 05/01/2020 17:17

And she talks about supporting the Jewish community (because she is anti-Corbyn) yet talks about a “final solution” - without a thought about what those words actually mean

And of course our press has both liberal and right wing voices - what do you think the Daily Mail, Express and Telegraph are

OP posts:
Nightwish1 · 05/01/2020 17:22

I just like repeatedly reminding people of how she used Alisha Macphails death for her own ends.

Mumsypoo101 · 05/01/2020 17:29

She says fat people are lazy because they are, Charles bronson also said this, wonder how many of you would call him a bitch to his face...

Islamaphobia isnt real, a phobia is an irrational fear of something, it's not irrational to fear Islam its perfectly normal as its a death cult which is not compatible with a civilised western society.
