Katie Hopkins' Award

Mr E

Katie was flown over to Prague on Monday to receive an award.

Turns out the award was fake, funded by a Youtube 'prankster' called Josh Pieters.
They paid for her flight and filled the room full of actors.

The award was for the Campaign to Unify the Nation Trophy.

Watch the video....
Couldn't happen to a nicer lady.

Her twitter account was suspended ths week for hate speech too. Not a good week for her.

From yesterday.

Ah, right, I must have missed that, sorry mod who had to move the post!

The video has 3.5m views so far which, for a YouTuber, is pretty good going.

Great marketing for him; if he spent £2-3k to get it set up, he'll more than make it back.

Meanwhile, Katie felt so comfortable thinking she was in the presence of fellow racists made a series of comments that were really shocking and will make it hard for any UK TV show, newspaper or radio show to justify giving her a platform.

I honestly thought she was a bit like Piers; a blowhard, saying provocative things to get attention but at the heart of it all probably didn't really mean them. How wrong I was.

What is she famous for? I looked her up and see that she was a contestant on a reality show called the Apprentice. Is that it?

That's an important point. There was no effort to sanitise her remarks in any way. This pure unadulterated bile, and good for people to see.
No self respecting media platform could still give her a voice.

The DPP refuses to prosecute, even though a young man's life was destroyed. I don't think that's what ordinary people want.

Perhaps Katie has a point. I notice no-one here is willing to debate her ideas.

My favourite Katie Hopkins moment was when she said she didn't like children named after flowers or locations.

Two of her own kids are "Poppy" and "India"...

Thats because she doesn't have any, well she might, but usually they would only appeal to pond scum to put it politely.

I started watching that video the other day. After about a minute I decided I just didn't care. I don't care about her opinions but I don't feel the need to see anyone 'embarrass' her either. She's in the position she is not because she has a lot of fans, but because people need someone to hate. If everyone who claim to hate her just changed the channel when she appeared her career would soon be over.

Anyone who thinks she gives a shite about being called a cunt is sadly mistaken. She got a free holiday and more exposure out of this. If you really hate her treat her like the non-entity she is.

That was likely deliberate though.

Gotta feel bad for her kids though. They've been doomed from the second they were conceived!

I love Katie Hopkins! She tells it as it is and none of the pc bollix I despise. Known her, she’ll likely see the funny side in this. I know it’s fashionable to hate and ridicule her

About time. Without that platform, she has nothing and will fade back into well-deserved obscurity, just like that Milo Yiannopoulos non-entity.

This is it. These people don't have a marketable skill apart from sh1t stirring. There might be a right wing think tank who will give her some money to talk about her martyrdom. But twitter is probably her main source of income. It's her tweets that get picked up and get her name around.

Bye Katie.

Post some of her racist and bigotted tweets, I'll wait, the definition of racism nowadays is so broad it could be anything ...

But she's a hateful and ridiculous person...

I don't do Twitter, so rarely see whatever she posts. But no harm getting her off the thing. She's not Gemma Doherty kinds of cnut, but she's definitely a cnut.

This post would be seen as an example of racism (in some people’s opinion).

You rarely see what she posts but think it is right that she was banned. You do realise your post is hate speech. Should you be banned from all social media?

Her tweets are all gone. Here are a few examples though, which all the racists on here will no doubt deny were made with racist intent...

"Dear black people. If your lives matter why do you stab and shoot each other so much"

"Racial profiling is a good thing, call me racist. I don't care... it has lost all meaning"

"Today is #whiteoutwednesday I will shortly be posting a picture of my arse, thank you"

Nobody is stopping her talk the ****e she talks, they're not allowing her to use their platform to do so, as they're perfectly entitled to.

Nothing stopping you subscribing to her newsletters or website

I don't need to follow her, I've seen enough of her tripe to know she's a cnut. And calling someone a cnut is not hate speech...

"Hate speech is defined by Cambridge Dictionary as "public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation"."

So clearly by that definition what you said is hate speech.

Really now? Did I attack her sexual orientation, religion, race or sex? Again, calling someone a cnut, or a bollix, or any other general term like that is not hate speech. If I said "that white catholic lesbian cnut", yes, hate speech. But I didn't.

You did attack her sex using that word. There is no doubt what you said is hate speech. You really need to be on really high ground before calling for people to be banned.

I was going to do a big reply showing how you're completely wrong, but I just couldn't be arsed. Off with you if you think calling someone a cnut is hate speech, you're wrong, but I don't think any amount of proof as to how wrong you are will change your mind.

Enjoy life.
