As someone from a category of people completely targeted by this vile hateful lady who has been given platforms offensively to many of us.

Can I take a moment to celebrate what this YouTuber did and that she is completely exposed:

Enjoy!!

OMG - her speech!

Whatsername177 · 30/01/2020 22:58

I posted about this too. I thought it was hilarious.

I’m baffled at how views like this can be considered freedom of speech. I think such hate speech shouldn’t be tolerated because it impacts on everyone else’s rights!

I’m more appalled by how far she was able to get away with what she says. It’s alarming to know that there is no limit !

Thank you both for posting this. It should be shared far and wide. She should be banned from all public platforns for spouting such hate speech.

I’ve just spent the whole evening debating this with a friend. I think it should go without saying that her views are vile and offensive and she’s a professional troll. I don’t support her in any way.

But I also don’t find the guy who did this very laudable tbh. What a waste of time, energy and money. I just think that could have been better spent making a real difference somewhere rather than just earning him popularity votes on Twitter. It smacks of bullying behaviour to me. If he dislikes her so much why not set a higher standard.

I don't get this. Why did they have to do this in Prague? She got a free holiday!! She probably doesn't give a shit as she must get trolled and called a c**t all the time. It's just water off a duck's back to her and she probably enjoyed her free hotel and dinner at their expense.

How is combatting hate speech a waste of time, energy or money?

Out of all the youtubers I watch this is probably one of the most beneficial video a YouTube has made!!

Trump retweeted her many times. The guy is influential. His followers are plenty. She is reaching places. So shutting her down IS making a real difference.

It’s worth every penny. In fact I’m considering donating to this guy to continue his work.

A “professional troll” is a minimising title.

Money well spent - she hides under a thin veneer of respectability and this man has got her on record speaking plainly of her hatred.

It is important to get this shit recorded so she can't slope off and pretend she is just 'saying what we are all thinking' or some such bollocks.

I think she is delusional, much like her mates Farage and Trump.

Don't even give the silly person a platform. Tsk Angry

BohoBunney · 30/01/2020 23:42

I’ve not watched the video because I don’t want to view a second of the odious little witch even if she is being humiliated but it is really “combatting hate speech”?. She thrives on attention so she will love this and the fact people are talking about her again.

MyOtherProfile · 30/01/2020 23:43

Wow!

BohoBunney I see your point but this was really a different kind of attention than the one she thrives on, me thinks.

Holy shit Shock her acceptance speech Confused

AngstyAnnie · 31/01/2020 00:00

Vile woman but this didn't sit well with me for some reason? Targeting nasty behaviour with nasty behaviour doesn't seem very ethical... Plus it probably wasn't too effective as she looked to be having a great time!

I’m quite curious whether those voting YABU are doing this out of sympathy/support for Katie Hopkins though or out of their lack of approval of the YouTubers way of tackling her hate speech though

Didn’t expect these results !

BohoBunney. She is not a witch please. Witches spread love. She is a prize cunt.

AngstyAnnie it’s the fact that she was unknowingly having a great time that makes this Hillarious..

She looked like an idiot and now watching it back she will NOT be feeling great.. as I believe making this video go viral will reduce her future presence.

Most of the platforms hosting her hide behind political correctness and her speech has just made this ..err.. impossible

Fingers crossed. End of her career.

@42BohoBunney me neither.
@01clairethewitch70 that made me laugh 😂

Listening to her acceptance speech, I wonder if she has a brain tumour or is mentally ill?

I thought that too. This would be the only circumstance that I might feel bad for her being exposed this way..

However, for the greater good, she needs to lose opportunities on having platforms to influence others.

It is a brilliant spoof but unfortunately getting her more attention.

Monty27 · 31/01/2020 00:36

Exactly @33GameofPhones
Why are any of us still even talking about her?
Brilliant username btw GOP Grin

kateandme · 31/01/2020 00:48
