to think it's finally time England deals with its Katy Hopkins problem?

I know she feeds off publicity and the best thing really would be to ignore her until she shrivels and dies of fame starvation so I apologise for the thread but this is really too much now isn't it?

I also wouldn't let in any refugee's from the ME or North Africa unless they are known quantities (friends and allies of ours).

CheeseQueen · 25/05/2017 10:09

This thread is utterly terrifying. Seriously, it's scary to think that people actually think what KH said was acceptable.
I wouldn't class myself as lefty, or a do gooder, what some might say, but THINK about what she said, and please, please go off and google the final solution if you don't know what it means.
There's a fine line between free speech and inciting/whipping up hatred. She's done exactly the same thing as extreme preachers do, just coming at it from the other side.

We supply the weapons that are being used to kill them, play a massive role and influence in that part of the world, have a hostile media, fascist commentators, people calling for internment, massive increase in Islamophobia and people wonder why some people BORN IN THE UK can feel alienated and can be radicalised?

LadyinCement · 25/05/2017 10:15

Yet again it's "us" to blame. Poor bomber. He couldn't help it.

That sort of attitude does tar all Muslims with the same brush, implying that every single Muslim is a potential terrorist. Can't you see that?

lessworriedaboutthecat · 25/05/2017 10:19

To be fair calling for a final solution is wrong. I believe KH is Jewish herself so she absolutely would have know what she was saying and doing it to provoke exactly this response. I though the article below makes some good points about it.

Your regurgitating the ISIS propaganda by saying this is all because of the west....

user1471545174 · 25/05/2017 10:24

Other people's views don't really bother me, Orlantina, I can only manage my own which are not anything like KH's, at all, but nothing like the appeasers' either.

However the thread continues to focus on the person (be it KH or other posters not toeing the popular appeasement line) rather than the more taxing issue of what can be done about the problem.

lessworriedaboutthecat · 25/05/2017 10:25

Orlantina the people responsible for hostility and Islamophobia are terrorists like the bomber and the grooming gangs who are using child abuse as a weapon of war.

BertrandRussell · 25/05/2017 10:25

"Comparing a self publicising gobshite to terrorists is an insult to the bereaved"

Yes it would be. But nobody has. You made that up.

Orlantina · 25/05/2017 10:26

Your regurgitating the ISIS propaganda by saying this is all because of the west

You are thinking in binary thoughts. It's not all one thing or the other.

Do you think that the actions of the West have had no impact on the Middle East and its people?

LadyinCement · 25/05/2017 10:26

Thanks for the Spiked link, lessworriedaboutthecat. I linked to an article from there yesterday. I've only just discovered it.

user1471545174 · 25/05/2017 10:27

Are you making excuses for this, Orlantina? What did the little 8 year old girl do?

How is what you're saying now better than what KH thinks?

Give your head a wobble.

Orlantina · 25/05/2017 10:27

Orlantina the people responsible for hostility and Islamophobia are terrorists like the bomber and the grooming gangs who are using child abuse as a weapon of war

When you start hating and labelling a group because of the actions of a few, that makes you a fascist.

Maybe because the thread is about the former and not the latter? Hmm
Did you wander onto the wrong thread?

Orlantina · 25/05/2017 10:28

How is what you're saying now better than what KH thinks

You don't think the actions of Western Governments and Western policy have had no effect in the Middle East?

NotISaidTheWalrus · 25/05/2017 10:30

I believe KH is Jewish herself

I doubt it, she went to private convent school, and retweeted a favourable comment about herself from a group called "Anti-Juden SS".

lessworriedaboutthecat · 25/05/2017 10:34

I may be wrong about KH being Jewish although I'm sure I read somewhere she said she was.

user1471545174 · 25/05/2017 10:35

Oh gosh it's just a thread about Katie Hopkins is it, Walrus? Terribly sorry about wandering on, I thought there might be something in the thread to do with the events she tweeted about.

But if it's just about a KH herself, OK, does her short hair look better than her long hair? Were you Team Perez during BigBro, I was?

That sort of thing?

lessworriedaboutthecat · 25/05/2017 10:36

Orlantina it really is rather more than a few though.

NotISaidTheWalrus · 25/05/2017 10:37

From a DM column of hers:

Hopkins wrote, “Oh sure, the history books will be full of ‘holocaust this’, ‘genocide that’, but they seem to overlook the fact that the Jews were grown adults capable of choosing whether or not to be in the same place as Hitler. “By the time I was old enough to be a Jew in Nazi German in the early 1940s I knew not to hang around near Hitler, so why didn’t they? “It’s because they thought it would be cool to bag a Nazi leader as an enemy so they could brag to all their friends, that’s why.”

I doubt she's Jewish.

NotISaidTheWalrus · 25/05/2017 10:38

That sort of thing?

Again, if you could just actually read the OP and try very hard to understand the subject, it might help you be less confused or you could bugger off

user1471545174 · 25/05/2017 10:38

Orlantina what has an 8 year old child to do with that?

Edsheeranalbumparty · 25/05/2017 10:38

Are you making excuses for this, Orlantina? What did the little 8 year old girl do?

There is a huge difference between 'making excuses' and trying to understand one of the root causes of a problem. You do understand that.....don't you?

firstcutisthedeepest · 25/05/2017 10:39

Again - who is THEM?
Orlan
Who in the name of fuck do you think "them" is?
The three thousand under police surveilance who have known links to terrorist groups of course. Stop nitpicking and searching for any implied racist remarks.

Edsheeranalbumparty · 25/05/2017 10:41

Not did she really write that?!
