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...

I think Hopkins is doing ISIS's media work for them. Their strategy is to create division and provoke a reaction. Her response is just that. She is playing into their hands.

I'm not anti-English in any way at all. Most of my oldest and best friends are English (from uni) and I have no idea why you're so obsessed with the SNP and generalising all their voters. It's you who has extreme views and an obsession,

I don't think they are extreme.

From the Washington Post

www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2017/03/23/britons-used-to-keep-calm-and-carry-on-theresa-may-wants-us-to-be-scared/?hpid=hp_hp-cards_hp-posteverything%3Ahomepage%2Fcard&utm_term=.6a8076c1cd10

But the problem facing progressive Britons in the aftermath of this attack is that, though they may exist in large numbers, they are not controlling the national conversation. The power there lies with expedient politicians and virulently right-wing newspapers, who will attempt to exploit the tragedy to further a xenophobic agenda.

The Islamophobic activist Tommy Robinson, former leader of the English Defence League, was giving interviews at the scene before Westminster staff had even been allowed out by police, hysterically declaring that “we are at WAR.”

Prominent far-right figure Arron Banks tweeted in the immediate moments following the attack that “illegals” were to blame, and that he felt sick. These are the people who dominate the dialogue of Britain now, and you won’t find a stiff upper lip among them. They will use the events at Westminster to concoct the most frantically un-British response imaginable.

I agree completely ego. They are just like the snp.

Are they really

What Aaron banks and tony Robinson? Yes. Same bigotry, different target

I agree completely ego. They are just like the snp

I haven't said anything about the SNP. I thought this was a thread about ISIS and terrorism.

LOL

Its been hijacked by people.with strange extreme anti SNP views.

Sorry. I thought a lot of people had been condemning racism. I was just joining in.

*Theresa May addressing Parliament ....................

"But today we meet as normal - as generations have done before us, and as future generations will continue to do - to deliver a simple message: we are not afraid. And our resolve will never waver in the face of terrorism.

"And we meet here, in the oldest of all Parliaments, because we know that democracy - and the values it entails - will always prevail.

"Those values - free speech, liberty, human rights and the rule of law - are embodied here in this place, but they are shared by free people around the world."
I agree with her. What a stupid article from the Washington Post

No just one person who was actually being bigoted themselves. But join in if you also want to seem a bit unhinged.

Hope people can get back to the serious issues of the thread

I agree with what she said too.

Everyone has the right to free speech. That's why it is ok for me to call political party's out when they are openly racist.

Khan did too...

Didn't go down too well I see

TONY Robinson??

Goddamit Baldrick...

Why are you trying to wind me up anyway? Have never voted SNP in my life? Waste of your energy.

See that is how they are all inextricably linked

BNP racist
SNP racist
ISIS racist
EDL racist
Nazi racist

Oh no how DARE you criticise my saviour!!! Pmsl.

If I was on here saying that about the EDL and someone was defending them There is one common theme here.

The elephant in the room.

Whose saviour?

Im not an SNP voter..for the millionth time..i just think you are talking mince.

Why? Is it OK to be openly racist about english people?

No but its not ok to generalise about all SNP voters either.

Hth

i just think you are talking mince. It's a long time since I've heard that.

Anyway I've said my piece on this.

Have a lovely day
