Katie Hopkins

And people like to be outraged and they like to be upset and angry, and if Katie Hopkins won't provide the ammunition we can do it ourselves!

No she wouldn't.
LBC would look at listening figures. See they were crap and swap her out. Happens all the time.

It's why Pat Sharp isn't still on the radio.

LBC swapped her out when loads threatened to stop listening when she finally went too far.

If people hadn't of been paying attention to her in the first place they'd have never employed her to begin with. You outragers got her the job. Then admittedly lost her the job. You'll get her next job for her though.

If she wasn't on telly and a gobshite newspaper columnist, pandering to and paid by swine, no-one would heard of her?
Any thoughts on Nigel Farage? UKIP? Britain First?
 
The problem with engaging with accounts on social media is that that's what the platforms reward. It doesn't matter if it's 10,000 people saying THIS IS AMAZING or 10,000 people saying THIS IS FUCKING AWFUL YOU NAZI SCUM! it's all the same to Twitter, which promotes it as "interesting" stuff that people are talking about and worthy of your attention.

This is very reminiscent of the advice given to every bullying victim in school - "just ignore it". Which actually means "we don't want to have to deal with this".

And, as every bullying victim knows, it doesn't work. On the contrary, it simply gives those doing the bullying the space to do it with impunity. Why do you think totalitarians and oppressors have, since time immemorial, devoted such energy to suppressing dissent? If they really thought that having dissenters made their arguments for them, they'd be encouraging it, not discouraging it.

Hopkins is relevant all the time she has a platform on which she is able to make her specious claims, unchallenged.

I agree with this. Ignoring her doesnt work. She not only reinforces bigotry-and confirms what some bigots may think. She also has a platform-and how big that platform is and the extent of its reach is debatable-but its a platform. That platform has a far bigger reach than most of us will never have.

And even if she wins over ONE gullible mind-thats one gullible mind too many.

I sat and watched just 15 minutes of her 1 hour interview with milo yiannopoulos on youtube the other day. Im no 'snowflake' but I was disgusted that she chose to engage in banter about fat ginger people-and the pair of cunts giggled like school kids.

Sorry but its vile passive aggressive nastiness-that legitimises bullying...and thats even before wev'e started on her racist fucking bullshit.

I just want her to die. And now.

Dont buy that for 1 minute. She's running out of options to the extent she's shoe horning herself into far right echo chambers. Its quite clear Hopkins is operating on diminishing returns. The fact she wasnt taken back on by the daily mail illustrates that beautifully IMO

I wonder, with increasingly limited options, just how extreme Hopkins will go and into what strange alliances?

Doesn't matter what she does. She's an irrelevant idiot, and only idiots take any notice of her whether they agree or disagree.

I try to ignore her as she doesn't have any impact on my life. But then, I think her comments do have an impact on the lives of others, friends, colleagues, those who are targetted by her various incitements to hatred. Her words whip up frenzied types. Some who may translate that into physical abuse and some who leave it at verbal/online abuse.

I should ignore but what if her vitriol leads someone out there to kill another human being? Am I complicit in my ignorance/silence?

She'll go for whoever pays her. Fox News US might take her on, given that Fox News US has very little reach into the UK marketplace but will then see her as an (un)informed UK perspecitve to back up whatever crazy conspiraloon rubbish theygo on about. After all, didn't Fox news recently just throw out the possibility that the FBI had been planning to assassinate Trump in order to prevent him taking the Presidency? Yes, they did.

Breibart would love to have her, but can they afford her is just the first of many questions about that.

It's easy enough to ignore her full stop.

Do we have any evidence of some frenzied type who became a Katy Hopkins-inspired murderer? And no, you wouldn't be complicit. You'd just be yet another individual who chose to ignore the mediocre, self-aggrandizing fucking arsehole. Stop worrying about nothing.

Well, of course there's no hard evidence that she's directly inspiring folk to do mad, bad things but then again, do the likes of Thomas Mair and sympathisers draw some comfort that they have a voice or an ally in Hopkins various diatribes?

They might, but they are fucking insane or deluded.

You can't do much about insane or deluded people who might think good old Katy is their ally (she isn't when it comes down to it), by sweating over the crap she writes all the time.

She's another celebrity wanker who probably doesn't believe in half of what she says. World is full of 'em now.
 
Good God there’s a lot of po faced what about the children stuff on here. She is an arsehole.Sub Richard Littlejohn crap. Not even good copy so she won’t be bothering mainstream media for a while.

How many Katie Hopkins does i take to change a lightbulb?

Actually, I know someone who used to sub her stuff - her copy wasn't that bad apparently

Play her game if it pleases you. It's what she's there for after all.

Its not about playing her game. Yes she's a fucking idiot. But words dont exist in some sort of vacuum-they have power. They can shape opinions. Influence thoughts. She may see it as a 'game' (although Im not convinced thats the case-she really believes in what she says) but ignoring her doesnt mean the 'game' stops. I for one am glad that all those people complained to LBC about her 'final solution' comment-cause if those people simply ignored it-she'd likely still be there. In fact she's running out of jobs because of the outrage and controversy-and thats because of people doing something.

Interesting to me that this thread has such legs. I am just not exposed to Hopkins, she just does not register to me, I don't hear or see her from one year to the next.

Yay me :)

Lately this thread has largely been kept going by people going on about how little they care about Hopkins, and making sure everyone else in the thread knows that. You know, just to show how little they're interested.

And we all get one step nearer to the promised land each time Katie loses a job.

My promised land is when she stops breathing.

When she had that brain op I was praying the surgeon had a skinful the night before and he was using a butter knife to do the job.

Your promised land is the day when Katie Hopkins is released from all her suffering, quite possibly after the sickly revelation that everything she's ever done has been nonsensical and a total waste of time?

Is it really?
