Katie Hopkins - Outspoken or just vile?

L.Jenkins

http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/katie-hopkins-when-is-enough-enough-10186490.html

I came across the above article and not it the literal sense today. She's not necessarily being compared to Hitler, but someone who'd make him blush.

“Rescue boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants”. That was The Sun's headline, written apparently without concern.

She then refers to migrants in Calais who try to board trucks heading to Britain as “a plague of feral humans”.

I really don't know why she gets published at all. Maybe it generates sales for the Sun, but I've never seen that paper as anything other than an absolute rag and waste of good paper. In subtle, backhanded fashion, she also takes a swipe at the Australians as well.

She proposes an Australian approach to migrants on boats. “They threaten them with violence until they bugger off, throwing cans of Castlemaine in an Aussie version of sharia stoning”.

Why can't we just strap this woman to the next rocket heading to Space and leave there. I for one wouldn't miss the vile piece of work.

She is a rent a gob who is way too fond of the sound of her own voice. That she continues to be in the media amazes me.

Lot of both, I'd say.

I can see it now, "Insert £10, receive a vile comment!" She should have that keyboard of hers broken across her back to be honest.

People should just ignore her. Nothing clever in saying controversial things for the sake of it anyone can do that if they want.

Caovyn Lineah

She is a horrible person being controversial for the sake of it, the fact that she is published by a **** rag like The Sun shouldn't surprise anyone.

Deathwish4

Vile attention seeker.

What's more vile is the attention she gets - Sad reflection of today's society.

What's sad is, she gets paid to do so and quite handsomely I could imagine.

LizT

She only half the sh1t she says to get publicity and notoriety. And it works. She got a big fat pay check from celebrity big brother because of it.

She probably does presumably she can't keep it up forever in the end she'll run out of things to say or people will just tire of her.

Grayson

I think she's vile but I have honestly no idea what type of person she is. She created a job for herself being a female Jeremy Clarkson. Except worse. She's a mother and could actually just be placing food on the table.
However, creating that kind of job does indicate that she's probably not the nicest or sanest person.

A horrible, obnoxious, self-serving, unfeeling cow. I feel bad for what her kids probably put up with, you'd imagine she'd factor in the sort of comments her children might have to hear about their mum before she opens her bigoted gob.

Or maybe she just believes she gives voice to what people secretly thing, and is just saying it like it is, being blunt, etc., etc...

It's Anti-PC Gone Mad!

Busted Flat.

Just vile, anything for publicity, sorrowful git.

I wonder if someone could take her annual salary, change it into pennies, put it in bags and beat her with them?

retro:electro

She has some valid points it has to be said. However it seems like her main aim is to just upset and offend whoever she can in order to remain relevant. If the only way she can pay her bills is by being an obnoxious bully then that's her prerogative.

mikom

Looking forward to the upcoming cage fight between her and Lorraine "bully-burier" Higgins.

L.Jenkins

Apparently Celebrity Death Match is making a comeback. Would be entertaining to see.

I always get the feeling that she barely believes much of what she says and she just does it to hang on to the infamy and make a few quid out of it. I don't think she even thinks about the comments and its more of a case of its time I got my name in the papers again I need to up the ante and say something really repugnant.

I agree with your comments about her kids, hopefully they don't get tarred by association. Cant be easy having an infamous parent.

Macavity.

People getting really upset over her annoy me more. It's more worrisome that there are thousands of people like that than it is worrisome that there is one of her.

PLL

She is vile yes. However some of the things she says, you can guarantee she isn't the only person thinking it. I that is why she continues to do it. Her views on dole scroungers for example, I would say many might agree with her.

SparkySpitfire

Actually so sick of people talking about her. There's nothing worth getting up in arms about here. She's working the money angle with her provocative statements hoping we will react the way we are now - talking about her!

That's understandable, but people like might provide a reasonable solution to social issues instead of offering to machine gun the lower classes to save money.

Or maybe if we ignored her and stop writing threads about her

I though she was in the Mail and yer man Littlejohn wrote for the Sun.

RollieFingers

A bunch of Muslim refugees murdered twenty Christian refugees by throwing them overboard, based purely on their religious beliefs.

I totally agree with her, those particular refugees are cockroaches, murdering cockroaches at that!

El_Duderino 09

She's an actor playing an outspoken vile character. I watched her on Big Brother last year and sometimes she would be trying to grab some attention by saying something outrageous. Some others would try to insert a bit of reason into the chat and she just ignored them.

People pay her to say outrageous things. Nobody is going to pay her to go on a talk show to give a considered, nuanced, balanced opinion. It's the same as Bill O'Reilly and the likes.

Mardy Bum

Her job is probably one of the least fruitful and productive in the world yet she makes a fortune doing it. This tells us one thing. She has an audience.

It is her audience that are more worrying e.g. celebrity big brother watching sun and glossy magazine reading people who want to feel a little better about themselves by being able to reference a bigger gob****e.

Indeed they are. However she wasn't talking about them specifically, was she?

Turtyturd

She's a c*nt. Caught a bit of her on that big brother show due to my OH watching it. It was quite an achievement that the producers managed to find a bigger c*nt than her in that American bloke.

bb1234567

She obviously just sits at home trying to think of the next most controversial topic going to shout about to the world in an effort to get blood boiling.

Some of what she says has a grain of truth, some is just ugly.

Underground

She's a professional troll who is good at her job. Probably doesn't even believe half of the stuff she is saying.

Which doesn't confer the slightest validity upon what she says.

I'd never heard of her before and I'm now erasing that part of my memory again!

That's it. She is a professional troll. I am of the opinion that she doesn't believe most of the crap she comes out with. If people ignored her then she would go away but humans do seem to enjoy being outraged so the likes of Katie Hopkins march on

20Cent

Vile.
Should be done for incitement to hatred.
Ignoring such talk is not an option when it can cause so much harm. Few months in prison might sort her out.

Ah no, it does lend some validity to what she says but only in the sense that a satirical cartoon has validity. Satire usually has an extra dimension or some a double meaning or some clever take on the topic. She's just a one dimensional cartoon saying use gunships on immigrants.

She's not funny but I take it to mean that they should take a more serious approach to immigration but I don't think shes actually proposing using gunships. It's just basic hyperbole completely detached from empathy. How simple life would be if you could think like that.

Microsim banned for rape joke. Keep it civil folks.

SimonTemplar

I blame the media and national broadcasters for giving her a platform. I mean, there are plenty of head wreckers like her, doesn't mean they deserve national press coverage.

She 'deserves' it because people watch her and talk about her and discuss her on internet forums. I hate those people and we should use gunships on them.

Tarzana2

She's having her moment now. People will tire of her and move on. And all she'll be left with are the many dubious google results she'll generate. Shame, if looked at objectively, before her media "career" she had plenty going for her.

Omackeral

She says a lot of the same of what a lot of people on here say regarding dole merchants, travellers, roma gypsies etc. She does. She goes after the disadvantanged/benefit receivers and would fit in with a good amount of AH posters. She just dials it up to 11 makes money from it. Fair play I say.

She said alzheimers patients should be euthanised and that we should await immigrants with gunships instead of rescue boats, I think she's a bit more extreme than any AH poster Ive seen.

You obviously missed microcsim's beautiful example before it was deleted.

jungleman

I thought at first "ah maybe it would be nice to hear someone who just says it how it is, instead of all the tip-toeing and PC nonsense, outraged and offended people" that get a lot of airtime.

I was wrong. So wrong. She is a cretin.

The very fact that she makes a living from targeting the weak and just ridiculing them is just obscene. I really cannot state enough how repugnant and pathetic she is.

Plenty of AH posts just as extreme in the past, although the targets are different. Any death penalty thread will show that.

An Ah post and a column in the Sun newspaper a bit different.

hatrickpatrick

She's a Daily Fail sponsored troll just like Samantha Brick. Laughing all the way to the bank at how easily she has become famous just by making inflammatory comments.

Anyone who spends even five seconds of their time getting genuinely annoyed or typing anything other than a banterous response to something she's said has essentially allowed themselves to be trolled hilariously.

How does that make ye feel? Eh? Eh?

to be fair, that sounds like a bit of banter
