To spoil Katie Hopkins holiday by giving her a piece of my mind

[S0ph1a]

I'm on a family holiday in a Mediterranean resort and guess who else is staying here?

I'm sorely tempted to go up and tell her what a horrible, hate filled, divisive person she is and that most educated and intelligent people in the country despise what she stands for.

I would just focus on my holiday. "Celebs" or whatever she is love being recognised so I wouldn't feed her ego.

ou are crediting her with an awful lot of power ,as if we are all hanging on to her every word

She does have 'power' - in the sense that a lot of people read her tweets, read her columns and it helps them think that their opinions and views are commonly held and 'ok' - as a lot of people seem to agree with them - and a national newspaper publishes them so this also feeds their view as their often far right views are ok - and they act on them with the feeling that they will be supported.

She has a platform. She writes for the Daily Mail and ignoring her won't mean that her views go away. It just means that hate won't be challenged.

A hateful person who spouts their hateful and often misleading views in a hateful prominent publication should be challenged.

Or else hate will win.

She is challenged .
Everyone has the right to reply or call her out on what she has written .
What right does anyone have to say that her views are wrong .
You might not like what she writes ,but lots do .
I don't agree most of what she says ,
I don't agree with what some of my friends /family say .
But that's life.people are all different ,and I'm not going to hate somebody just because they don't think the same as me .
And there's a lot of hate on this thread .

What right does anyone have to say that her views are wrong

People have every right to challenge her views - her views are her views. People should challenge them and call her out.

and I'm not going to hate somebody just because they don't think the same as me

I am going to hate somebody whose views I find abhorrent, who misleads people and 'others' groups and whose behaviour I think is fuelling a rise in the far right and hate crime. Plus worse.

"What right does anyone have to say that her views are wrong ."

That's a bizarrely relativist view. Who has the right to say the Ku Klux Klan are wrong? Or Kim Jong-Un?

I bet it's driving her mad trying to work out who the mumsnetter is that is posting about her

BTW Katie if you are reading, nice top you had on last night ( although a bit OTT for the venue ) but it didn't work with those trousers. You need a plain bottom half. HTH See, I even give helpful fashion tips, I'm a nice person and indeed will not push you in the pool

Oookay, you're beginning to sound a little obsessed and watching her a bit too much now.
Are you in high school? Is your holiday really that boring that you've taken to watching someone else, start a thread about them on MN to talk about them with strangers and comment on their movements and outfits?

Ok you've guessed right. Yes I am in high school and yes my holiday is boring. Because that's the only reason that people are allowed to go online during their holidays.

Anyway I thought that talking about people online and their outfits was ok ? I mean, some people get paid a lot for doing this, so that makes it a good thing.

I'm just talking to an audience of, what, a dozen people ? It's not like there's millions following this thread.

But yes, I'll admit that I said that her trousers didn't go with her top. So I'm right up there will the worst that Katie has even said online. Mea culpa.

I bet the poor campus police officer that she's bullying right now wishes that Katie had only commented on his outfit not matching . Rather than posting his work texts online and publicly racially abusing him.

How different everyone's view was on here when this happened! Everyone unanimously agreed, that to publicly shame another woman about her body was a disgrace. Now I've learn it's actually okay to do it if you don't like her? Righto..

Exactly!! Nice to see a voice of sanity on the thread.

Where is the shaming? The woman loves publicity and I dont think she actually has any shame (for reference, see nudie photos with someone else's hubby in a field pics above).

If I wanted to cause trouble for KH and her family I could easily do that right now. I could post the photos I have of her around the pool or in her gym wear, or better still sell them online .

I could tell you all where she is staying and her room number. I could post about her kids.

I could tell you about the social chit chat I've had with them.

But I don't and I won't. Because her kids have done nothing wrong . I feel very sorry for them, they must be the subject of scorn at their school and they will never have a normal childhood. You can't boast of being the biggest bitch in Britain and expect your kids to be unaffected.

And I won't post photos of any of them because I don't think anyone should be body shamed.

My objection is to what KH says and writes and how she uses her postion of influence to spread hatred and make money at the expense of the poorest and most vulnerable in society.

I hope she is worried about what I and other guests / staff might say or do. Because fat people or people whose have a lot of tats worry EVERY SINGLE DAY they go out in public, in Case people like Katie and her followers abuse them.

That's the kind of Britain she's helping create . Well done Katie. Saying it like it is indeed.

Because that's the only reason that people are allowed to go online during their holidayshmm.
No, it's the fact that you're slagging off someone else online,another mum on holiday with her kids and you and others talking about pushing her in the pool, what her outfit's like, others saying why not post an unflattering photo of her? kind of like what Dani Mathers did then?

I'm just talking to an audience of, what, a dozen people ? It's not like there's millions following this thread.
A dozen people? On Mumsnet?! Are you for real?! There'll be millions! Just because they're not posting, doesn't mean there's not millions of lurkers.

But yes, I'll admit that I said that her trousers didn't go with her top. So I'm right up there will the worst that Katie has even said online. Mea culpa.
It's not a competition of who's more right and more wrong. It's just not a nice move full stop. Be the better person and stop thinking about her so much on your holiday. Enjoy the sunshine.

I hope she is worried about what I and other guests / staff might say or do.

I don't. Even though she's a foul hatred inciting gobshite, I wouldn't want to wish that on anyone. Always feeling worried.She's entitled to her opinions, however loathsome they may be.

OP why don't you wind your neck in and crack on with enjoying your holiday, you seem like a right saddo obsessing over somebody....I bet you've updated your FB countless times with all your exciting goss!

You're taking covert photos of her now!? why? If you really don't plan on selling them, why take photos of a woman you profess to hate?? A souvenir of that time you went a bit weird on holiday when faced with a celebrity??

I could post the photos I have of her around the pool or in her gym wear, or better still sell them online

Why are you so obsessed with her that you're taking photos of her? Just why? You're coming across as a tad stalkerish, sorry.

You sound like a weirdo stalker OP.
Even if you're "only joking" surely you can find something more worthy of your attention on holiday than KH?

I could tell you about the social chit chat I've had with them.

When you've been chit chatting with them, have you been all nice to her face and then starting a public conversation behind her back on MN?
Just wondering.
Bit nasty if so. (Yes, I know KH's opinions are too, but that's beside the point.)

If I wanted to cause trouble for KH and her family I could easily do that right now

You sound like a freak, and I'm sure you're not really. You couldn't cause trouble for her by "selling" photos by the pool (which I doubt anyone will buy). She would love the attention! In fact this whole thread is probably proving to her editors how much buzz she can create.

Indeed everyone is entitled to their opinions. It works both ways - I'm also allowed post mine online.

Whether anyone is morally entitled to post incitement to hatred of whole groups ( Muslims, refugees, breast fed babies ) is entirely another matter.

It's interesting to see how some people here on MN agree with her and her loathesome views and think that disagreeing with a " celebrity" makes me a " saddo" ( a bit of a daily fail insult I think ).

And, for the record, I have never seriously suggested anything except talking to her, when she was NOT with her children. She can dish out verbal abuse so I'm sure she can take a little polite disagreement.

I called you a saddo because you're spending your holiday with your face in the phone obsessing about somebody you dislike, not because you don't like her.

Nobody likes her.

Now put your phone down and go and enjoy yourself.

I certainly don't agree with her foul views. I think that starting a thread on her, commenting on her clothes, taking sneaky pictures of her, saying you could cause trouble for her, but won't as you're a nice person - why is your mind so obsessed and going there?
You're coming across as a stalker.

You're on holiday. Why on earth would you want to get into a discussion with KH on politics? Bloody hell, that'd be one surefire way to get blood pressure up and put a dampener on your break!
Or are you hoping she'll see the error of her ways and act all shamefaced?

Actually you are coming across as quite bossy, telling me what I can and can't do on holiday. If I want to spend it sitting by the pool on the phone that's my business.

If KH and her family wanted a holiday without any plebs there, I'm sure they can afford to rent an isolated villa. Instead they have chosen to come to a busy resort in peak season.

Taking photos of someone in a public place is not stalking. As a daily mail reader you will know that any woman wearing a bikini around a pool or on a beach is in fact " flaunting her pins " or her " beach body " .

< particularly amused at the posters on their phones telling me to get off my phone >
