    Jesus all I can say is people need to find something better to do. Don't like her don't watch it. Guessing the Left SJW types need safe spaces from people like her.

    Honestly, I can't stand the whole safe space thing myself, but trotting this out every little time someone does something you don't like is just as bad as what they do.

    Perhaps you need your own safe space, away from other people asking for their own safe space.
    And then I can get my own safe space, where I can look at you in your safe space whilst ignoring their safe space.



    Also Katie Hopkins is a troll along the lines of Milo Yinopopoploous

    This is the sort of idiocy you can expect



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,373 ✭✭✭tonycascarino


    If people have nothing better to do than complain about her or guests in general then you seriously need to look at your life. You must really be someone with nothing to do and all day to do it.

    She's a professional troll. I don't know why people get angry about her. Just ignore her.

    Really what have they got to complain about ? Who is forcing them to watch RTE ?

    That's Gas, sure you have to watch her, it be nice to see a live troll instead of reading them here :D:P:pac:

    Another upside down waltzer machine. Stay away unless you actually want your brain to literally vomit.

    I don't really agree with a lot of what she says but the way to combat these type of people is to engage with them rather than campaign to have them silenced.

    Let the world see how silly they are.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,639 ✭✭✭andekwarhola


    Not offended by her. Just find her tedious beyond belief so I ignore her.

    Simple, really.

    I don't care if they watch it, don't watch it, complain or not complain.

    I won't be watching it because I never watch the show because it's absolutely terrible. Also because Katie Hopkins deserves about as much attention as a leaf on the footpath.

    My only point was that the jumping to the "special snowflake sjw safe space" thing is absolutely pointless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,047 ✭✭✭GerB40


    Gob****e is all she is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,101 ✭✭✭Thespoofer


    I would.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,371 ✭✭✭Phoebas


    I can't decide who I find more entertaining; Hopkins and her crazy views or the legions of people who let themselves get upset by her.

    Yea he does. I don't know about Katie however.

    Because the state broadcaster, that we fund, is giving her a platform to spew her ****e.

    Id imagine it's because the Irish public shouldn't be paying trolls to give their troll opinion on the Irish national broadcaster.

    Fair play to them. I love to see how she makes all the poor little easily offended snowflakes squirm. That in itself is very entertaining.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,926 ✭✭✭davo10


    Heard her being interviewed before Brexit vote, she was saying sh was looking forward to UK stopping immigrants coming in, when she was asked if this applied to Irish she said that if the UK needs more potatoe pickers, they would advertise, I think it was Matt Cooper interviewing her, there was silence for a second or two while Cooper got his brain around this idiot. Even Farage said she was too far out there for him, that says something.

    I must admit I'm looking forward to seeing her, I can't stand Tubridy so it's like watching two people I don't like bitch fight.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,556 Mod ✭✭✭✭yerwanthere123


    It begs the question though, just how desperate are RTE for guests that they invite her on again for what must be at least the third time?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,759 ✭✭✭Winterlong


    The woman is a thundering twit. The late late will get her to say something controversial and that will make headlines tomorrow.
    The controversy feeds the publicity machine. Like it is supposed to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 49,731 ✭✭✭✭coolhull


    Anyone who sits and watches the Late Late Show on Friday nights, with that skinny bollix Tubridy, deserve all they get.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,671 ✭✭✭dav3


    Do we really need to pay for a right wing loon to fly over and give us her opinion so that we can mock her?
    Can we not rustle up similar people in this country. Is Kevin Myers or George Hook still alive? Wheel them out, get the same opinion for half the price.

    Katie Hopkins and Louise O'Neill should be locked in a room together. Two lunatics from opposite ends of the same asylum.

    I dunno, That would probably end up in what Doc Brown said in Back to the Future, that the space time continuum would fall into its own arse.

    To be fair to her, like the guy with the bad hairdo, she's box office whether you like her or hate her.

    She's a **** but people complaining about her appearance need to cop on to themselves. Censoring someone because you disagree with them will do more harm than good. Turn off your tv if she bothers you that much.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,520 ✭✭✭learn_more


    Ah she's gas craic, I will defiantly watch.

    In this video I watched the other day - turned out she was completely right ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBZ0C4307OU

    I also agreed 100% with her comments about obesity, even if her style of presenting her points leaves much to be desired.

    But mostly I don't take her too seriously and find her quite amusing on the whole.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,520 ✭✭✭learn_more

    Who is she? Is she just one of the 'famous for being famous' people?

    You had Gerry Adams on the show before, he had a mother thrown in a ditch with a bullet in the back of the head.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,624 ✭✭✭✭meeeeh


    So of all Trump supporters they found the most bigoted moron to put on tv. It's clear from the numbers who voted for him that not only the faeces of humanity voted for him. It would be way more interesting to hear from more measured people who voted for him and why they voted for him, we might actually learn something. Instead m o re oxygen is given to that moron.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 348 ✭✭holy guacamole


    Hopkins is the most elaborate wind-up since Dennis Pennis, and is almost as entertaining.

    Given that she has no power of authority and is basically just a media luvvie it's amazing how many people take her seriously; after all it's not as if she can put into practise any of the mad sh*t she says.

    She has made a career out of saying outrageous stuff, and the more times people get offended by her the more fame/money she makes.

    I'll definitely be watching tonight's Late Late, at worst I'll get a few cheap laughs, at best she'll say something so completely out-there that an entire section of the Internet will explode causing severe burns to millions of wibbling idiots.

    I don't take her seriously I just don't know why we should give the biggest idiots the most media space and then wonder how people like Trump get elected.

    But anyway I almost never watch Late Late, Katie Hopkins won't change that. I am not making a stand I just consider that kind of stuff beneath me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    She's a professional troll. I don't know why people get angry about her. Just ignore her.

    And this is why RTE's ratings later will be enormous. People will watch it just to see the chaos she spurts out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 603 ✭✭✭_Jamie_


    Yes, protesting her appearance is silly but I honestly think some people get off on criticising SJWs. If these SJW news pieces didn't exist to give out about, they'd miss them something rotten. :p:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 603 ✭✭✭_Jamie_


    This is the sort of idiocy you can expect


    And in the longer clip of that, she criticises the name Bella in case the child is ugly. Holly Willoughby's daughter is called Belle. :o And yes, Holly is beautiful but it's hardly the point.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    It will take their tiny little minds away from attacking the unemployed folk, but just for a short time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,921 ✭✭✭buried


    Guaranteed she'll berate Tubridy and the audience for not being dressed up as a poppy garden. Ring up your bookie and ask for the odds for that scenario to happen and literally bet your own garden on it and then swim in the cash of her own trollyness

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 564 ✭✭✭Yellow pack crisps


    The very people who complain about her are the ones keeping her profile going! Go figure. Quite poignant really that today we are discussing her when a real person with a magical aura and talent passed away! I can't wait till the world evolves back to liking true talent and beauty.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,678 ✭✭✭lawlolawl

    Trump was just elected so we're already well on the way.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 67 ✭✭Bonaparted


    She's made a career out of trolling. She was on a load of US networks during the run up to the election too. Quite impressive really. If people ignored her, she'd be just another Z list celebrity who had their fifteen minutes.

    I guarantee a lot of people will tune in tonight just to hear what all the fuss is about and what she has to say. Including those who complained.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,736 ✭✭✭Irish Guitarist


    I would know absolutely nothing about this woman if it weren't for people on the internet complaining about her. It's not that hard to avoid seeing her. If everyone who is offended by her really wanted to get rid of her they would just change the channel when she appears on something. Then the channels ratings would drop, she wouldn't be invited back, and she'd crawl back under the rock she came from. The truth is that people that complain about her love having something to complain about.
