I'm no fan of Katie but if I'm honest I don't think she should be investigated by police.

It does not seem right that in Rochdale which has been one of many towns that mainly Pakistani grooming gangs.

YABU.
She's bordered on the line of hate crime a few times before.

Now she's crossed that line I'm glad it's being dealt with.

But if 8 out of 9 sentences are Pakistani it is a fact that the child abuse in that town was done by Pakistanis.

YABU.

I think it is ridiculous that she hasn't been investigated sooner.

FiveGoMadInDorset · 31/03/2015 20:17

What is special about her that she should treated differently to anyone else who incites racial hatred or any other sort of hatred via Twitter?

Dumpylump · 31/03/2015 20:17

She seems to have been highly inflammatory. For no reason other than publicity. Odious woman.

Fatstacks · 31/03/2015 20:18

I just cba with her.
Any excuse to get her gob Shiite in the news.

OrlandoWoolf · 31/03/2015 20:18

But OTOH - most Pakistani men don't commit child abuse.

OrlandoWoolf · 31/03/2015 20:19

Just like most Muslims aren't terrorists and most young black men aren't gang members etc etc.

Kampeki · 31/03/2015 20:19

If she has made comments that potentially incite racial hatred, why should she not be investigated by the police?

If she has broken the law, then she should be held to account. If she has done nothing wrong, then no further action will be taken.

Fatstacks · 31/03/2015 20:19

My auto correct made the religious reference I just wanted a good ole coarse shite Grin

MrsTerryPratchett · 31/03/2015 20:21

How many of the people being investigated by Yewtree are white? Does that mean that all white men are rapists and pedophiles?

it is a fact that the child abuse in that town was done by Pakistanis Do you really think that all the child abuse in that town is done by men of Pakistani origin? Because I think that's reeeeaaallly unlikely.

What is true and incredibly sad and dreadful, is that lots of child abusers and rapists are getting off. Almost all of them, in fact. In all their many races, creeds and religions.

cleanmachine · 31/03/2015 20:21

Yabu. She's a bigot.

I know most Pakistani men don't commit child abuse but in Rochdale a large grooming gang was 8/9 Pakistani. She was referring to Rochdale.

YABU

She is a nasty bully. She picks on everyone she can, she stops at no-one not even the disabled.

Purplepixiedust · 31/03/2015 20:24

Yabu.

Her goal in life seems to be shit stirring.

ApplePaltrow · 31/03/2015 20:24

Don't bother OP - no-one cares about child abuse victims. You think this smug twat would be cowed by the fact that child abuse is rampant in his constituency. No matter, back to twitter to play the victim.

dollymixedup · 31/03/2015 20:25

The father of the main prosecution witness in the case has spoken out about this, he rightly accuses Hopkins of exploiting what has happened to his family.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/mar/29/katie-hopkins-reported-police-race-hate-rochdale-pakistani-sex-abuse

This was one case and is not representative of sexual abuse in Rochdale or elsewhere, most abuse happens within the family.

Boofy27 · 31/03/2015 20:26

I think that inciting racial hatered takes a bit more than a racist generalisation.

meglet · 31/03/2015 20:27

yabu.

she is one seriously screwed up piece of work.

OrlandoWoolf · 31/03/2015 20:28

This is what happened.

www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/katie-hopkins-reported-police-mp-8944259

"Are these your friends too @SimonDanczuk? Is this why you are raising the Pakistani flag in Rochdale? 77 years inside "

He replied

" I know the damage these men did as I've sat with victims & supported them. Our community is healing & yr vitriol won't stop this"

She is really helping, isn't she.

Well actually it is not difficult to spot a trend the same thing happened in Rotherham, Oxford, Derby. All cases the perpertrators were mainly from the Pakistani comunity.

Now I'm not stupid I know that most Pakistani do not commit child abuse. But their is no denying that a trend has emerged.
