Anyone going to see Katie Hopkins ?

[stonejam]

and why? I don’t like her but I’m wondering why so many are praising her and pay to hear her speak ?

Because they forgot to put their glasses on whilst meaning to book the really interesting speaker who’s on the next night and booked tickets accidentally?

Oh, has she won another award? <snigger>

Is she doing panto?

More money than sense.

Because people are still entitled to an opinion despite other things of concern going on in the world?

Thought I'd be helpful and provide a link but seems she's mostly Sold Out already, Dearie me what is the world coming to.

Hell would freeze over first.
She is as MN say a vile individual and this word describes her to a T.

I'd rather cut off my flaps and sit in vinegar.

Totally this - people can offload their own prejudices on to this relentless verbal diarrhoea fountain.

Have any of you actually listened to her lately? Or are you referring to her Apprentice years, nearly 20 years ago?
She speaks the absolute truth with knowledge and no fear of being hated for it. If only more Government members had a tiny amount of her courage!

In answer to your question why do people pay to see her? Well why do people pay to join a political group like reform because there are assholes in our society that believe in that sort of shit. Which I think is pretty obvious unless you think everybody should think like you but they don’t.

If you are happy to hand over money to hear this awful woman spout her bile so be it.
Enjoy the show. As they say a fool and their money....

Nope, they ran her out of town near here.
The venue cancelled it after tickets went on sale (she claimed it was sold out), and it's unclear how the original booking was made as she definitely wasn't someone that the venue would normally have entertained.

I'd rather shit in my hand and clap.

My local FB page has been totally triggered by a visit from KH. I don't like her, would never go to see her at a show but I find the outrage ....ummm.... a little performative?

I see the Neil Oliver fan club has arrived...

And that's the uncomfortable truth, isn't it? An awful lot of people DO want to hear it.

There was a lot of bad feeling in my town too, numerous complaints, trying to get the show cancelled. I wanted to buy tickets for a family member for Christmas and was shocked to see it was sold out! Pretty sure it's not been cancelled here though

I used to think she was a canny operator, playing a role and being controversial for the clicks and to position herself as a media figure, and that she really didn't believe the awful things she said.

Then I came to my senses and realised she was indeed just as awful as she first appeared.

I misread the title.
I thought it said Mary Hopkins
Those were the days my friend.

I'm sure a number of people don't know who she was.

She's mostly picked smaller venues to ensure Sell Out status.

Fuck knows why someone would want to listen her offensive, ignorant bilge though.

Does she fuck. She's a horrible woman. I'm not talking about her political views either, although I find them abhorrent - her bullying of fat people over the years is enough to despise her let alone the rest. I remember when she called one of the members of little mix a "chubber" that poor girl was 20 years old at the time.

You don't have to be very clever to hold open a door.

That, I imagine, is the absolute truth according to a very small corner of the internet. The part that doesn't trouble with facts, evidence, science or human decency. She is everything that is wrong with the world. And apparently so are you.

Ah bless. Her brain-dead fans on X must be beside themselves; this must be the highlight of their year!
