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

Like her or loathe her she provokes debate and does make a refreshing change from the normal sycophants.

GertrudeCB · 12/12/2019 08:28

Vile.

BeardedMum · 12/12/2019 08:31

I am another one feels for her children.

sashh · 12/12/2019 08:31

Katie Hopkins is a boil on the bum of life.

I think that's unfair to boils.

“Like her or loathe her she provokes debate and does make a refreshing change from the normal sycophants.“
Can you expand on that a bit, please?

LolaSmiles · 12/12/2019 08:43

She's disgusting and promotes awful bigotry. I really dislike how she's helped normalise intolerance under the guise of 'i just tell it like it is/some people just don't like straight talking'

Nodnol · 12/12/2019 08:44

I genuinely don’t know who I loathe more. Katie or Piers.

CAG12 · 12/12/2019 09:06

Shes an annoying contrarian. In just bored of her.

HulksPurplePanties · 12/12/2019 09:11

Is she still alive? Haven't heard about her in ages, thought she'd finally crawled back into the sewer she came from. Alas.

NotACleverName · 12/12/2019 09:19

Saying that there needs to be a “final solution” for Muslims is totes hilarious isn’t it, @Muminabun? Proper PMSLROFLMAO stuff.

Hatey is nothing but an attention whore who thrives on the oxygen of publicity. People need to stop paying attention to her in 2020. Don’t reply to her, don’t quote her. Maybe then she’ll fade away back into obscurity where she belongs.

dirtyrottenscoundrel · 12/12/2019 09:20

With people like KH you either believe in free speech or you don’t.
As long as she isn’t breaking any laws she’s as entitled to her opinions as anyone.
Over the years I’ve agreed with some things she’s said.
People who want complete censorship are very worrying.

Don’t like her? Don’t follow her on Twitter.

Moomin8 · 12/12/2019 09:24

She's an absolute w*

I'm not even sure if she's real.

Muminabun · 12/12/2019 09:37

Bertrand self ID and transing children. I am firmly on her side on this one.

Crystal87 · 12/12/2019 09:47

I'm not sure whether it's all real. I actually started to quite like her a bit when she was on Celebrity Big Brother then she went vile again. I feel sorry for her but not sure why.

BertrandRussell · 12/12/2019 09:54

“People who want complete censorship are very worrying.”

Yes they are. How is that relevant to this discussion?

LaurieMarlow · 12/12/2019 09:56

I was so happy when Jack Monroe took her to the cleaners.

DontDribbleOnTheCarpet · 12/12/2019 09:59

I'd forgotten all about her. I expect a lot of people had, and that's the real reason for her tweet.

OlaEliza · 12/12/2019 10:38

I don't think she's vile. She's just got a different opinion. Which is allowed due to, you know, free speech.

LochJessMonster · 12/12/2019 10:42

This. I've also agreed with some of the stuff shes said.

HulksPurplePanties · 12/12/2019 11:01

but free speech is about the right to say things others disagree with

No, that's not what free speech is. Free speech is the right to express your opinion without persecution by government, and their are limitations to it. It's not a get out of jail free card to be an asshole.

BertrandRussell · 12/12/2019 11:05

Free speech does not give you the right to shout “fire!” In a crowded theatre. As someone said.

Moomin8 · 12/12/2019 11:06

Aside from all the bigoted comments she makes, is she not the one who said she enjoys stealing other people's husbands just because she can.

libdumps · 12/12/2019 11:11

Free speech does not give you the right to shout “fire!” In a crowded theatre. As someone said.

Actually, it does. It just means you also have to deal with the consequences of your actions.

ManonBlackbeak · 12/12/2019 11:15

I’ve always thought that there’s something not right about her psychologically, going back to when she was on The Apprentice years ago. She’s vile 99.9% of the time, but can also be kind and charming when she needs to be (see her time on Celeb BB).

I’ve also never thought that she believes half of the crap she comes out with and it’s mostly for attention.

HulksPurplePanties · 12/12/2019 11:15

Actually, it does. It just means you also have to deal with the consequences of your actions.

It doesn't, because there are legal consequences to shouting fire in a crowded theater when there is no fire.

So the whole no persecution thing doesn't apply.
