Katie Hopkins - what’s her deal??

[Meshy12]

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

It's very simple - she's made a career out of being controversial and has over time had to ramp up her nastiness in order to keep getting noticed. She is a brand and her brand is being awful. If people ignored her she may go away. The more publicity she gets the worse she becomes.

I'm not sure if she actually believes the things she says or if it's all for the publicity but either way she is a massive dickhead.

Totally agree with this.

Could someone state a phrase or sentence she'd said that proves she's "racist"?

Anyone who uses the death of a child for their own notoriety is a kerb licking low scumbag

She’s missing a huge part of her brain. Severe epilepsy. But the people who like what she says pay her to keep ranting.

Could someone state a phrase or sentence she'd said that proves she's "racist

She has deliberately retweeted fake news or jumped to conclusions about tragic events and laid the blame for them on the Muslim community and immigrants from certain countries. Designed to stir up hate.

I will use the Nazi reference. Because that is the kind of thing the Nazis did - deliberately blame a community for events and tried to create 'other'.

And our mainstream media helped create her as it was clickbait.

But I bet there are many people on here who hate her views on some issues but have absolutely no problem with some of the stuff she comes out with about the LGBT community.

Because as long as it's the LGBT community she's attacking, that's fine. But when it comes to them under attack, then she's a monster.

Could someone state a phrase or sentence she'd said that proves she's "racist"?

Calling immigrants cockroaches, will that do?

Mumsypoo, Reading the thread would give you more than enough examples. If still not convinced, pop over to her twitter racist rhetoric available almost hourly!

She's a broken brained defect.

Last year KH posted a video of her reading a page from the government website about what immigrants could get in the U.K. and how they were handing these out on the beach in France. The thing is although she kept saying ‘this is what our government is offering’ she changed some word eg
‘You can chose a house flat or B&b to live in’ when a quick google shows it actual said you May be offered a house, flat or b&b’ small change but makes a big difference to the meaning of the sentence. It’s things like this that are wrong and encouraging hate speech. She is vile

She talked about the ‘final solution’ - everyone knows what this refers to (if she had a momentary lapse then her editor or proofreader surely would have known).

She makes (well before she was sacked/sued) a living out of being a ‘rent-a-gob’ with the aim to outrage people - even LBC dripped her.

So if you agree with her and her sentiments then that’s not exactly something to brag about.

Her deal is generating publicity, and this thread is contributing to it, unfortunately.

I know they say ‘no publicity is bad publicity’ it when 99% is saying you’re a dick (and you keep getting fired), that’s not good.

Are you able to argue the holocaust wasnt racist, mumsy?

It's all for money . I feel sorry for her kids. Her legal battle with Jack Monroe cost her her house . She loses jobs when the courts get involved.
She could hAve turned her talent to good as some of her documentaries have had an interesting premise and been well presented.
What a waste. She can't be happy.

For clout

I couldn’t stand her on The Apprentice and that was when she was still attempting to be vaguely bearable, I’ve always been able to read people like a book.

Not really. What she's saying is on point. Any time she's been wrong she's apologised but she's rarely wrong. You can live in your little bubble and neglect what's happening. Maybe it's time you stopped believing everything you read in the paper and fake news and tuned in to the real issues that are happening. The housing and benefits they receive are correct. If they're truly asylum seekers then why bypass many safe countries.. and why so many Africans? The only war zone at that time was in Syria. Why so many men? Why are they free to come here and claim when they've never paid a penny towards the system? How come so many don't work due to their religion.? And have so many wives when it's aacrime in our country. Why do we pay for so many children whose parents keep producing while many here can't afford more than 2? Why do so many claim benefits for children in other countries? Im not saying no to immigration but we can't keep letting people go who are unwilling to intergrate and demand change then show hatred to their adopted country. We need a system that works and hopefully boris has a plan set out for that.

On point? Was her final solution tweet "on point" too?

Not really. What she's saying is on point. Any time she's been wrong she's apologised but she's rarely wrong

She’s apologised when she’s had to, not when she’s wrong.

Give that she’s not known for fact checking, I don’t believe she deserves to be taken seriously.

The situation in war torn countries, caused in part by the UK itself, is very complicated and her simple racist dog whistles do not bring any maturity to the debate.

Well we can all stop believing utter bullshit and racism and open our eyes to how kerb licking some people are but I prefer to form my own opinions and not be dictated to by someone who is an attention seeking twat and who gets sacked and sued frequently for being a nasty arse.

I think it is all for show and shock.

I was speaking to someone the other day who used to work with her many years ago and they said before her apprentice stint, she was actually a really normal, pleasant women. God knows where it all went wrong!

She has monetized her lack of impulse control

She doesn’t have a column now- can anyone confirm whether she makes money from twitter? Or is she maintaining her profile while she tours for another column?
