[Closed] Katie Hopkins - bye bye

At long last it permanent.

Farage next please c

Whoop!!!!

See ya

Good news, obnoxious oxygen thief.

Happy frickin days. I'm not one for wishing harm on people, but for her I make an exception.

After that prank on her, I was left thinking that maybe she wasn't actually a troll, but is mentally ill..... whichever, she's definitely best not having a public platform to spout hate.

At last.

what took them so long? She made no effort whatsoever to hide any of her foul racist opinions.....

She keeps cropping up on my YouTube recommended videos for some reason. The content of her latest videos sounds pretty dispicable. Could do with her being banned off there to really, just to clean it up a bit and keep my feed about bikes!! 😜

Is Trump next?

He's had some warnings, let's hope so!

I'm sure that she'll have a Patreon or other paid content platform to continue from.
If I was being charitable I'd suggest that she was actually a lightning conductor flushing out all the particularly unpleasant people so that they can be identified. But of course she's just a nasty dogwhistling and unimaginative racist. The Facebook comments on the Evening Standard report on this are enlightening and deeply deeply depressing.

Is disappointed.

I thought she might have popped her clogs.

KKKatie should have been banned a long time ago for her abhorrent views.

Good. Hopefully it’s a substantial loss of income for her.

I wouldn't be surprised if she was currently negotiating a job with the White House. I think she has been heading that way for a while.

Yup, but frankly stuff behind paywalls/subscriptions is way less troubling than stuff on totally public platforms. Doesn't get repeated/retweeted, doesn't get read by as many people, doesn't pop up in your timeline or whatever- you have to go looking.

I swear though if I have to explain to one more person that this isn't an infringement of freedom of speech I'm going to do one.

Don't bother. I've blocked a fair few supposed 'friends' on FB since the George Floyd killing. All the ones who post false equivalence shit, start all their posts with "I'm not supporting the police but" and then try to defend the indefensible. I've ****ed them all off. You could say I've made an echo chamber, but you don't not wipe shit off your shoes just so you can have a bit of 'shitty-shoe' in your life for 'balance'.

You just wipe the shit off and get rid of the smell.

Yup. Also see Tommy Stephen yaxley lennon robinson ... legitimately de-platform them for spouting vile hatred, problem pretty much solved.

On that note, odds on her making appearances in Russia as a repressed British journalist?

Anyone know what the straw that broke the camels back was?

Prob her marcus rashford tweet but to be honest it could be any of 1000's

Is disappointed.

Me too! Every time the Trump thread climbs to the top of the page I open it hoping the ****er has died.

I'm with somafunk - her tweet about Marcus Rashford was spectacularly vile even by her
non-existent standards.
If you didn't see it, here's Piers Morgan's perfect riposte to her...

She’ll probably turn up on QAnon. I wish I had the sort of l33t h4ck3r sk1lz that would let me nuke every attempt to spread her filth online, along with the likes of Tommy Robinson, QAnon, Alex Jones, etc. Maybe things like massive DDoS attacks, etc.
Or find a way to get the Russians, the hi see and the North Koreans really pissed off at them.
Ahh, such things as dreams are made of 💀

what was the tweet?

I love Katie ❤️

Of course you do. She’s your mum.

C'mon it's a free source of vinegar.

Don't tell me you wouldn't suck them spaniels ears like a new born goat.

Chester, you're kidding, right? I'd rather suck an actual goat.

For many years I actually thought she was a female Sacha Baron-Cohen type character. I didn't consider she was an actual real person.

Still don't tbqfh.

what was the tweet?

I don’t know , it was probably not very nice and knowing what she thinks won’t improve my life.

Yeah, let's just silence those we don't agree with. That'll make the World a better place.

Let's remove a platform for those who spread racist hate.

She's not been silenced. An independent company has chosen to no longer allow her to use them to spread her vile views.

You can still go and listen to her elsewhere.

Quite. Free speech doesn't obligate us to provide a megaphone.

You don’t need to hear both sides of everything, some things are just wrong .

Aa mentioned above:

Freedom of speech does not mean a right to a platform.

At last, things are looking up.

Farage next please c

Tbh I’d thought he’d got a new job as a fisherman as he seems to spend a lot of time on boats or beaches.

Bit Of a bummer when your gravy train job actually does finally go and yer ‘fishing’ for the next bandwagon to hop on 🙂

Yep and tbh I think the song for this is appropriately

and in the immortal words of Lilly A.

May contain swearing.

Freedom of expression and opinion are enshrined in human rights law, but hate crimes are illegal. The CPS definition is:

The term 'hate crime' can be used to describe a range of criminal behaviour where the perpetrator is motivated by hostility or demonstrates hostility towards the victim's disability, race, religion, sexual orientation or transgender identity.

KKKatie (my favourite term for her vileness so far @ElShalimo) has long been peddling hate speech. She may not have wandered into the criminal definition, but she has surely been close.

Apparently no twitter presence has been problematic to other right-wing scumbags. Let's hope this is the case here.

Edited as I see we got into it big style while I was typing

My favourite is hatey hatekins. Has a certain ring to it.

A ( very, very small) part of me feels pity for her, for the same reasons as Jack Monroe after she lost her libel case and then had to go into voluntary bankruptcy. I’d like to make it clear that I agree entirely with Twitter and it is a good thing she has had a platform taken away.

I'm not rejoicing in anyone's downfall here. It's graceless and hideous. She just had to say sorry, she wouldn't, and she's paid dearly for that.

"I offered to give the libel win back afterwards, she didn't want it. I didn't want this, I just wanted some peace. And now I'm quietly (mostly) getting on with my life......

Monroe finished by saying she wished Katie 'all the best for the future,' "which is entirely in her own hands," she added.

And yet again she has blown it because she seems too stupid to learn from her own mistakes, of her apparent lack awareness, of her obstinacy and sense of entitlement to spout hateful things.

My Mrs wasn't too impressed being woken up at 6.30 by me laughing at Chester's finely penned allegory.
