KH accepted a fake award and looks very silly! This made me laugh a lot. Enjoy. Or don't. If you are a fan of KH then I guess IABU. I don't really care though!

redcarbluecar · 31/01/2020 08:52

I suspect she wouldn’t mind getting caught out either over the India thing or this award. One way and another, she gets paid for what she does, and is probably just taking the piss out of the people who support her.

KidLorneRoll · 31/01/2020 08:59

Oh, she is nothing more than a professional troll.

That doesn't excuse what she says though, or the fact that you have to be an absolute cunt to say them.

PhilSwagielka · 31/01/2020 09:08

There are people who genuinely agree with her. I'm sure there are loads of them on here who think she's amazing and SPEAKS THE TRUTH even though a lot of what she says is bullshit.

ThebishopofBanterbury · 31/01/2020 09:12

She represents everything that is wrong with our country today. Don't feel sorry for her atall. Her comments about others have been incredibly cruel and callous so I don't really feel any sympathy for her.

KidLorneRoll · 31/01/2020 09:15

"There are people who genuinely agree with her"

Yes. Fuckwits.

Sunshineand · 31/01/2020 09:16

I just feel gutted for her kids watching that. They'd have been left with childcare while mummy supposedly collected an award just so these jumped up youtubers could pull their prank.

Stupidest comment I've read on the Internet today. You wouldn't have said that if she was a man FFS

recrudescence · 31/01/2020 09:17

The most significant bit, to me, is her acceptance speech and we don’t really get to hear it. The rest is just self-congratulatory gurning and capering by the tricksters. In the end they spent a lot of money to identify KH as a cunt. Which we already knew.

I'm not sure about the editing but I have seen her spouting off about children named after places and she got upset when it was pointed out that her daughter is called India and India is a place. She got quite upset.

So would she say things about epilepsy when she has it or about autism if one of her children has it? I think she might because like the name thing she doesn't think the same rules apply to her. At least that is how it seems to me.

TanselleTooTall · 31/01/2020 11:02

What she says is so very hateful and wrong. Shock PP give a "kind of" excuse/reason that she does this to capitalize on earnings and is her way of staying relevant - is this a true actual fact, though? How is anyone so sure this is the actual case because IMO it's like there's a little allowance being given to her by some people ie, "well it's disgusting all right what she says, but she only does it for the money". Does this mean she DOESN'T believe what she says and behind closed doors she feels the total opposite?
It confuses me. But IMO it doesn't matter to me what her intentions are, her speech is loud and clear and her actions are morally bankrupt and on those two things I absolutely judge her.
Imagine attending a school where students were given preferential treatment, advancements, gifts, full marks for no effort, grants and scholarships for being the biggest bully they can to others. Make others students' lives a misery, help to create division, the most offensive and insulting lies will get the highest marks..."well it's disgusting alright what Toby says and does towards his fellow year group, but he only does it really for the scholarships. Students should just ignore him, then he may go away..".

Do you think she'll do them for entrapment, or something?

Absolutely, surely letting everyone hear the full speech would be the best way to prove their point. Why have they edited out so much. A 10 minute video with about 15 seconds of her actually speaking.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 31/01/2020 11:23

As much as I can mot stand the woman, I just thinn this was such a waste of money. Plough you time and money into something useful, not pulling pranks to prove something everyone already knows. Anyone who supports her won't stop because of this.

Ikeasucks · 31/01/2020 11:33

Can’t stand her but I don’t like this

Her “speech” was also edited - i wonder if they led her into talking about those topics - we don’t hear what the others in the room are saying.

GFJoe · 31/01/2020 11:38

Can’t stand her but I don’t like this

Agree. The whole thing is pretty vile. She is. They are. I'd be interested in the conversations that were edited out though.

Sagradafamiliar · 31/01/2020 13:39

Yes I would have done, sunshine. Stupid to feel sorry for her kids...fucking hell. Give your head a good shake.

LASH38 · 31/01/2020 14:34

Assuming that she brings her hatred home, her children may well be happy for the respite of childcare.

Or was you trying to make the point that childcare is evil?

Sagradafamiliar · 31/01/2020 14:47

What?! My point was that she'd gone away and it was for no valid reason, award, job, anything other than to make a fool of her and that has an effect on the children. It's sad for them. Didn't realise I was talking in fucking riddles.

Genevieva · 31/01/2020 14:57

I always assumed that she had created an artificial persona for the business opportunity it presented - being the go-to obnoxious phobic-of-everything person who voices opinions that make everyone cringe with embarrassment on her behalf. It never occurred to me that she actually believed all that toxic stuff.

JeansNTees · 31/01/2020 22:20

Finally got a chance to watch the video. I'm disgusted TBH. I know these men think that they are being super clever and ha ha, the word c*nt is behind her on a screen. But don't they see that the optics of a roomful of rich white men pretending to laugh at her jokes, and give her a joke prize, makes them look like utter cockwombles? They certainly don't come out as the winners here IMO. Not agreeing with someone's views is one thing, but playing such an elaborate, embarrassing prank on a woman then posting it to YT is pretty cringe. They could have used the money they wasted on flights, room hire, and dinner for a much better cause.

Shockers · 31/01/2020 22:30

I didn’t like the prank tbh, but I was really shocked at some of the things that came out of her mouth. The editing has got me thinking though- was she talking about things she’s been reported as saying, but possibly hasn’t?

For the record- I despise everything she represents, but I’m just not sure that her acceptance speech can be taken at face value.

Thedogscollar · 31/01/2020 23:21

This is pure genius. Karma for Katie.

JRUIN · 31/01/2020 23:54

These self congratulatory manchildren are spiteful little bullies so no better than the woman they are humiliating. Sad.

Patroclus · 01/02/2020 00:04

Yeah the people who say 'at least shes honest' actually mean 'i like it when she says those racist things im too much of a coward to myself'.

Patroclus · 01/02/2020 00:05

Not leaving an event thats full of (as far as shes aware) actual nazis is now admirable honesty, apparently

Patroclus · 01/02/2020 00:15

viques I always think if the 30s were repeated, we have a full collection of those wo would go along with nazi germany, as we did back then. Hopkins, Tommytennames, Mark'liesabouthisfather'Francois and Reese Mogg would be loving it and calling for an alliance, you can be certain of it.
