England in the eyes of Katie Hopkins

[vuk]

aire.

what you you make of her statements?

one thing i can tell you is that her portrayal of BBC bias wrt israel is absurd and backwards. sure, you'll hear the occasional palestinian-as-victim story if there is some quirky or sensationalist angle to it, but when it comes to the big military stuff and foreign policy, they are on "your" side all the way.

Is there ever an innocent post in middle East threads.

She's despised in the UK and her views on Muslims are in no way representative

 

[Rodrat]

I expect the government in Israel see her as a kindred spirit.

 

[Martyn Miles]

I am not going to comment on Katie Hopkins, only to mention that Israel frightens me.
Can’t put forward a logical reason why though...

Which is the more swivel-eyed: Katie Hopkins or Mad Mel Phillips?

Both the same basic Anne Coulter program recompiled for the Daily Mail and now InfoWars platforms.

 

[Mr Cat]

all I said was that she's the same as an internet troll but on a bigger basis... (tho, never watched this video) and that she just posts stuff for attention and everyone surely knows that?

but that said, she' s posted stuff about doleys and fat ****s that are probably true haha

 

[Seanm]

Ha ha, just noticed the tags!

Seriously tho she’s called for a final solution for Muslims.

That’s a serious show in Israel? I guess anything goes now apartheid’s been made official.

 

[maxflinn]

PS She now works for InfoWars?! Sounds like she has finally found her level in life!

She works for Rebel Media, the Muslim-hating YouTube channel and former employer of Tommy Robinson.

Ugh. I guess there is no bottom to the barrel she inhabits.

That could be the subject matter for your next thesis. They’re both fire starters- but Katie manages to give off more toxic guff before she gets away. Both specialise in going after the same religious minority.

I forced myself to watch it. She behaved as if she was a bit unhinged, talking to the interviewer like he was a bit slo www.
I thought the interviewer was good actually, he just gave her all the rope she needed.
"I'm not jewish, I've just got the nose" FFS.

Ann Coulter, Hopkin’s role-model, has done similar hasn’t she? All these professional far-right trolls just say the most offensive things they can think of as that is what generates hits and revenue. They are paid by the hate-load.

 

[rbrierle]

It's reassuring to read all the comments. Absolute rejection of everything she is and everyone that gives her a platform.
She doesn't just walk a thin line between 'freedom of speech and expression" and "incitement of racial/religious/cultural hatred" but takes her living entirely from the latter. The phrase 'ill-gotten gains' rarely feels as valid

Scarily her views are representative of a small but growing number of racist cvnts in the UK now.

I've been shocked as to how many in this country have these racist views and now feel more relaxed or permitted to express them since trump got elected.

The sad thing is there is clearly a lot of money to be made in the far-right/fascism arena as it is very clearly on the rise. Folk such as Steve Bannon, Arron Banks, Marine LePen, “Tommy Robinson”, the two jailed thugs from Britain First etc etc have found a substantial seam of shit to mine. It is, along with Brexit, Trump etc, all part of the same remarkably ugly thing.

Within minutes of a stabbing in the U.K., or someone being run over, in unknown circumstances Hopkins tweets suggesting it is the fault of migrants/refugees/Muslims.
Of course usually she's wrong, so once the facts are known subsequently deletes the tweet without acknowledging her false assumption.
When occasionally a brown person is involved she whips up her followers with further declarations e.g. that parts of the capital are a "no go area", it's now "Londonistan", etc.
Possibly timola is a consumer of Hopkins output.

 

[rbrierle]

that parts of the capital are a "no go area", it's now "Londonistan", etc.

Reminds me of some of the fabulously surreal fictions the Trump/Fox machine has spat out, e.g. Birmingham being a no-go zone
