She definitely deserved it. And I don’t say that lightly because it was horrible to watch.

It doesn’t matter if it’s the real her or an act. She still says those things.

And actually, I think she quite enjoyed herself during the event so swings and roundabouts.

She can try to sue, shes unlikely to get anywhere.

She was fully aware it may be filmed, and that footage redistributed and broadcast anywhere.

The people behind the con ran it past a legal team before they did it to ensure their backs were covered.

I doubt she has the money to risk, given the last legal action she foolishly took on cost her all she had.

Normally I would say the prankster is wrong too but Katie Hopkins is an exception. No sympathy from me. My only annoyance is it places her in the public eye yet again.

She delights in saying absolutely vile things about the way people are born. Their colour, their disabilities, the country/culture they are born into. They don't choose that. They do not deserve to be treated in such a disgusting way. Hopkins chooses to behave the way she does. She chooses to be a disgusting racist. So yes, she does deserve to be humiliated for the way she chooses to behave. It is not welcome here. To the PP who suggests that people who are bullied (by Hopkins because of their colour and/or disability) and Hopkins herself (because of her actions) are the same please, please don't compare the two. It really, really is not the same.

I don't think she truly believes the things she says. I don't think she believes even half of the things she says.

But it makes no difference; she says those things. She makes fun of people she shouldn't, she shows obscene unkindness at times when she could use her voice and presence more positively. So I don't care if she believes the things she says; the fact that she chooses to say them means she deserves all the shitty treatment life throws at her. If you are awful, you attract awfulness to you.
