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

But apparently the 'everyone is entitled to an opinion' doesn't extend to her having one .
Always love the Liberal lefties. 'You can say what you like as long as its something I agree with.'

There is a difference between disagreeing with someone and calling for them to be banned. No one should be trying to ban KH, she has a right to her own opinion. However, people are also free to disagree with her. I am by no stretch of the imagination a leftist but I find KH to be gratingly annoying.

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!

She Loves Trump and musk and thinks they are going to bring freedom 😆 nothing about her is truth. Ok maybe some things like starmer being a dick but that’s about it. Nothing special there. And she is offensive towards many and sets up divides and hatred towards migrants who have suffered wars and laughed at a dead baby on a. Beach. Yeah she is a truth speaker 🙄

Looks like we've found at least one ticket holder.

She doesn't believe a word of what she says. She just knows how to appeal to idiots.

no, apparently she speaks the truth 🙄

I would rather shit in my hands and clap.

The absolute truth? No, she spouts the bile that some want to hear and she creates a following through doing that cynically to earn both money and some sort of fame. It’s not courage, it’s a business.

Kind of worrying. I’m with everybody who says that they have no idea how she has any sort of audience and they must be thick as two short planks, but we need to be mindful of what’s happened in America.
If we laugh at our ‘basket of deplorables’ and fail to take them seriously, it will surely cause huge problems. People turn to figures like Katy Hopkins because they are not being served by the present systems and authorites.
If Katy Hopkins does indeed still have an audience, we need to understand who they are and hear what they think, feel and say, and why.

I don't know what would make anyone think that they should spend time listening to this woman. She's got nothing. She's not a politician or a thoughtful person or even a campaigner, except for her own bank account. What would anyone learn about British people paying money to listen to her except that some people enjoy hearing dirty filth and having their worst instincts massaged? We knew that already. She's Roy 'Chubby' Brown without any jokes, making a living by a race to the bottom. I'm a Reading FC fan, I know something about paying money to go through pain. I still wouldn't put money in her pocket though.

LostPups · 20/12/2024 23:44

I don't agree with pretty much everything KH says!! However, I find her hilarious and I love that she is unapologetic in stating her views and is not afraid to say what she feels.

In this world a lot.of people carefully curate their image and try and appear to be something they're not (harry and megs being the prime example). It's a bit fake and you don't really know their true feelings, only what they want you to see. I feel like I know where I stand with KH. She's not hiding anything. She's blunt and to the point and I find it quite refreshing.

She's a professional troll.

It's not a bad business model; appeal to the lowest common denominator, sell a bit of hatred and ignorance while not believing a word of it. Straight out the daily mail playbook.

I mean, she went on national television to have a go at people who name their children after places, when she has a kid called India. If that doesn't tell you she is laughing at you, not with you, I don't know what will.

Fully agree with this. She throws so many ‘opposing views’ that if you listen to absolutely everything she says, you’ll inevitably agree with her on something. Stopped clocks and all that. Some people truly believe their own bile, others just use it to target people for their own gain (Trump tactics).

I expect that there will be many more man than women at this "event".

She’s absolutely brilliant! Her recent impression of Kier Starmer was hilarious 🤣

I met David Icke once and he seems to be a clever man. He held a door open for me. I was at an event.

I've got a lot of time for DI. He's an excellent communicator. Has really interesting views on lizards Prince Andrew.

And her recently impression of people with missing limbs or limbs deformities too! Lolololol.

(She's a real peice of shit)

Ketzele · 18/05/2025 22:18

Yeah, KT is hilarious with her jibes at immigrants as 'cockroches' and fake vomiting at people with limb defects. But she's a great communicator, so that's OK. And David Icke with his antisemitic conspiracy theorising, but hey the guy knows how open a door..

Sorry, not much of a sense of humour tonight, though I did crease at the pp who confused KT with Katie Hopkins. Wasn't she the Irish lass who sang 'Knock knock, who's there'?!

TheaBrandt1 · 18/05/2025 22:21

To be fair I listened to her on the heretic podcast to give her a fair hearing. The first 15 mins she was fine but by the end of the interview she was properly bonkers. Really off the scale mad.

Easipeelerie · 18/05/2025 22:25

Mini77 · 19/12/2024 22:30

Not a ticket holder no. Just someone that appreciates hearing the truth from someone that isn't scared of the haters.

Haters lol

I don’t think any of us had a clue what she actually thinks.

Dontlletmedownbruce · 18/05/2025 22:29

I think there is something seriously disturbed about her. Haven't heard from her in years so I don't know what her current thing is, but i saw an indepth interview with her years ago where a presenter stayed in her home (living with Lucy) and I thought there was something very off about her. She enjoys being hated and it's all about attention. I don't think she believes any.of what she says, if we lived in a racist conservative place she would be the one sprouting the Liberal views. She just wants controversy and publicity at any cost. It's pathetic really..honestly I would be curious to see what she says but I wouldn't want to pay money that will end up in her pocket

Easipeelerie · 18/05/2025 22:34

I saw her talking about presenters without limbs and she just sounded confused, rambling and repetitive.
