AIBU to think Katie Hopkins is straying closer and closer to the line that separates legitimate "right wing" politics, and unacceptable "far right" extremism?

I find this article a) utterly incoherent in its argument and b) utterly abhorrent in its content....

Yesterday's attack is deeply deeply saddening- we live in London and we're heartbroken that this has happened again- but I actually find Katie's bile almost as saddening and troubling- as I fear these are views held by many many more people... sure these are just words, and yesterday saw vile, violent actions... but those actions would have begun with words of hate and anger too...

Probably safe to do that with the snp white paper too lol...Grin

nikelarsedstirgin · 24/03/2017 10:09

Yep I really like Khan... a Londoner through and through. Top bloke! Trying to suggest that he needs "validation" is very very wierd and extremely racist with absolutely no justification.

LouKout · 24/03/2017 10:13

Nikel are you comparing the SNP to bloody IsIS now?

Imjustapoorboy · 24/03/2017 10:15

user words on pages usually require context or just as with the Hop they are taken as read

Thanks for the insult tho - last time I checked brain was intact

LouKout · 24/03/2017 10:16

Well done for shoehorning in some irrelevant bigotry though user.

nikelarsedstirgin · 24/03/2017 10:19

No.

I am criticising people holding entire sets of beliefs so dearly that they are unwilling to question or even hear other people's opinions. They will also ignore facts willingly to allow them to continue believing. Cult like

I have noticed this in certain followers of the SNP and also I think supporters of ISIS and many other cult like religious beliefs.

merrymouse · 24/03/2017 10:22

We know what she is but this anger is misdirected, be it at Khan or Katie.

Please explain why Hopkins shouldn't be criiscised. She is deliberately fuelling hate for monetary gain.

She clearly hasn't murdered anyone, but she is deliberately profiting from the situation.

nikelarsedstirgin · 24/03/2017 10:23

For example...

A family member told me that they refused to watch the tracy ullman show as they knew it was going to make them angry. This had been widely circulated amongst snp circles.

Tracy ullman show=SNP blasphemy?

I vote conservative (now not much choice in scotland) but would have loved to see her do a rip off of Theresa May.

I reckon May herself is a bit gutted.

like this?
The Afghans hate the Somalias who loathe the Eritreans.

LouKout · 24/03/2017 10:24

Most people are fairly entrenched when it comes to their own beliefs though nikel.

LouKout · 24/03/2017 10:25

And am not an sNP voter but can see there IS a lot.of media bias.

LouKout · 24/03/2017 10:26

Hmm at user. Any more racist generalisations?

nikelarsedstirgin · 24/03/2017 10:27

Not in my case. In my view once you take something so seriously that you can not laugh about it or listen to other people doing so without getting "angry" you are well and truly fucked.

Count2three · 24/03/2017 10:29

Please explain why Hopkins shouldn't be criiscised. She is deliberately fuelling hate for monetary gain.

She can and should be criticised. But don't lose sight of who is more deserving of criticism.

LouKout · 24/03/2017 10:31

I guess they strongly want independence and are angered at underhand tactics used to prevent it.

user1484578224 · 24/03/2017 10:31

sorry I was being deeply sarcastic. Of course anyone with half a brain could not believe that......oh hang on some people do.

user1484578224 · 24/03/2017 10:32

so people who think this pls explain

People who agree with KH pls explain.

Thanks

LouKout · 24/03/2017 10:32

Count2 are you really unable to see past auch a simplistic approach

LouKout · 24/03/2017 10:34

Count2 can you really not think past such a simplistic approach

nikelarsedstirgin · 24/03/2017 10:34

What like roseanna cunningham during the terror attacks in westminster.

When they eventually suspended debate she pointed at the tory benches and told them that it was a conspiracy against the scots and that they just didn't want to talk about independence.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 24/03/2017 10:38

nikelarsedstirgin I agree that her actions were awful. Including apparently being asked to apologise 6 times and refusing to do so.

nikelarsedstirgin · 24/03/2017 10:39

Yes. There are lots of people like that unfortunately not a shred of decency.

Count2three · 24/03/2017 10:45

Lou I can well beyond. Are you able to see beyond your hypocrisy?

SaorAlbaGuBrath · 24/03/2017 10:46

Not in my case. In my view once you take something so seriously that you can not laugh about it or listen to other people doing so without getting "angry" you are well and truly fucked

Ironic really, since this is the second thread you've hijacked with your anti-SNPobsession comments. Which at first irritated me, but now I find it very funny indeed. It's a bit sad really isn't it? That you can't hold a conversation without comparing the SNP to the IRA, ISIS or anyone else you feel like lumping them in with. So believe me, I'm laughing about it. Grin

SaorAlbaGuBrath · 24/03/2017 10:47

And Roseanna Cunningham was wrong, bang out of order wrong for her comments the other day. She should be removed from her post.
