To think Katie Hopkins is vile

She posted this in response to the boy who was being treated for pneumonia on the floor. Disgusting to see how many people support her

Yh I know I shouldn't be giving her publicity as this is why she does it. But she pissed me off. For now I'm just going to block her

Ignore her, it just gives more publicity.
She showed how really vile her views are with her final solution tweet in my opinion

Skysblue · 11/12/2019 20:44

She writes this crap for the sole purpose of seeing her name in print. Obviously she has major issues. But why have YOU, who clearly know better, given her publicity and shared her horrible words? If you don’t like her why work for her like that?

What a disgusting, hypocritical woman. I'm glad she's bankrupt.

ForalltheSaints · 11/12/2019 21:06

Why did you not realise this a long time ago.

Her poor kids having her as a mum.

HideYourBabiesAndYourBeadwork · 11/12/2019 21:16

YABU for feeding the troll. This is exactly what she wants.

astralweaks · 11/12/2019 21:25

She had a brain tumour op a few years ago. A camera crew was present although not during the procedure itself which she might not have come through, in fact. Actually, I saw a very different side of her as a result of the documentary.

In general terms, though, she is a pretty dreadful human being.

astralweaks · 11/12/2019 21:26

Agree she is a publicity junkie par excellence.

stophuggingme · 11/12/2019 21:28

Katie Hopkins’s biggest issue and problem is being Katie Hopkins

She is so ugly in mind body and soul that any level of controversy and attention and hate is grist to her revolting mill.

Just leave her to her cesspit

I'm glad she's bankrupt

If she wasn't morally bankrupt, she'd still be doing OK financially.

Monsterinmyshoe · 11/12/2019 21:41

I read enough vile posts on here and wonder if it's her. The sad thing is there are too many people on here just like her.

andpancakesforbreakfast · 11/12/2019 22:35

she is a good target for people to be vile and abusive, it makes them feel better about themselves. 🤷

It's quite pathetic really. At least it gives a break to someone like Meghan, who is also a troll target - but that's just jealousy in her case.

rhubarbcrumbles · 11/12/2019 22:39

Surely this should be 100% against the vile specimen that is Katie Hopkins. Nothing she could say would convince she is anything other than awful.

doublebarrellednurse · 11/12/2019 22:40

I don't think she believes a lot of what she says. She's looking for a reaction and makes a living from it.

longwayoff · 11/12/2019 22:42

There is something amiss with Ms Hopkins. When appearing on Big Brother some years ago a fellow contestant said something pleasant to her. Response "oh, dont be nice to me, it makes me cry". Lots of issues but she is a nightmare creature with a perverse desire to provoke hatred towards her. Not healthy.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 11/12/2019 22:43

I think her epilepsy has probably affected her frontal lobes. She has no filter and no compassion. I feel quite sorry for her actually.

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 11/12/2019 22:54

I don't think she believes a lot of what she says
I used to think that, but why would you express such hateful views if on some level you didn't think them?

She's looking for a reaction
True. Though when your views can incite hatred such as the cockroach comment, or final solution tweet, why should she have a platform to wind people up?
It's so toxic, I used to be all "free speech" etc but in some cases hate just shouldn't be left to spread.

Brahumbug · 12/12/2019 07:42

I loathe Katie Hopkins, but free speech is about the right to say things others disagree with, otherwise it is meaningless. She is proof that free speech is alive and well.

EntropyRising · 12/12/2019 07:44

If she didn't exist, someone else would do it. I don't understand getting so worked up about polemicists.

Muminabun · 12/12/2019 07:49

The picture of the boy was a bit over the top and staged, she is not the only one who found it a Bit silly and dramatic. She is a bit unhinged but this is quite funny and a lot of people follow her. She is not my cup of tea but I don’t agree with all the hate thrown at her. She is an effective agitator and I prefer her to the far lefties.

anxioussue · 12/12/2019 07:51

Response "oh, dont be nice to me, it makes me cry

I can identify with that.

chloxox08 · 12/12/2019 08:10

That is literally why she's so popular, if people stopped giving her the attention she craves she'd eventually get bored, but everyone always gives her the reaction she's hoping for Grin

Wafflecopter · 12/12/2019 08:14

Have you been living under a rock? Grin
I imagine the devil took her soul a long time ago in exchange for a newspaper column.

longwayoff · 12/12/2019 08:21

"This is a quite funny" ? @Muminabun? Are you sure about that? You may want to consult a dictionary on the definition of funny. You may also want to retract your libellous statement about the original picture. You wouldn't want to bankrupt MN through an expensive lawsuit. Nor lose your house like Katie Hopkins.

BertrandRussell · 12/12/2019 08:23

“ She is an effective agitator and I prefer her to the far lefties.”

Show me anything the “far Lefties” have done that compares....
