Hopkins Reported To Police Over Race Hate Claim
Labour MP Simon Danczuk claims the outspoken reality TV star has associated the Pakistani flag with the sexual abuse of children.
Hopkins appeared as a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother last month
Katie Hopkins has been reported to the police over claims she may have incited racial hatred in Rochdale.
The reality TV star and newspaper columnist has been accused by Labour MP Simon Danczuk of sending tweets suggesting Pakistani men in the Lancashire town were child abusers.
In 2012, nine men from Rochdale who ran a child exploitation ring - eight of whom were of Pakistani origin - were jailed for offences including rape and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child.
Mr Danczuk, who represents Rochdale, has sent an email to the police commissioner of Greater Manchester Police, Tony Lloyd, asking him to investigate whether a crime had been committed by Hopkins.
Hopkins is said to have started sending the tweets after Mr Danczuk attended the raising of a Pakistani flag over the town hall for half an hour on 23 March to mark National Pakistan Day.
She wrote: "Raising a Pakistani flag in Rochdale is not helping community cohesion. it is inflammatory. @SimonDanczuk you & your party disgust me."
Simon Danczuk has asked police to investigate if a crime has been committed
Hopkins posted a series of messages to her account after the MP tweeted a picture of himself at the event.
In response, she sent a picture of eight men convicted of child exploitation offences, asking Mr Danczuk: "Are these your friends too @SimonDanczuk? Is this why you are raising the Pakistani flag in Rochdale? 77 years inside."
Explaining his decision to make the complaint, the MP said it was about Hopkins "inciting racial hatred".
He said: "The letter is me asking the police commissioner to investigate whether a crime has been committed in relation to Katie Hopkins.
"It is not right that somebody who has little to do with Rochdale incited hatred of this kind.
"Rochdale is a very cohesive community - people work well together. Of course there are tensions, like there are in other communities, but people rub together really well and we don't need outsiders like Katie Hopkins to come in and cause trouble just for the sake of causing trouble and creating Sun headlines."
Hopkins is yet to comment on the allegations.

I really hope she is prosecuted. This woman is vile.
|
|
By:
don't know much about her as don't watch anything shes been on TV
can't see how in a free country you can be prosecuted for referencing something that has been in the news |
|
By:
bit crass to ask him 'are these your friends too?'
 but Labour trying to bring a prosecution just gives the impression they want people to be afraid to talk about this |
|
By:
said would leave country if labour won the election..... couldn't be more of an incentive , come on people do your duty
|

By:
I wish she was Prime Minister of this country, talks sense on most occasions.
|
|
By:
^ as much as you do - obviously

By:
She says what a lot of people think, but, other than in private, are afraid to say.

Well, I must confess that I associate Pakistani men with underage 'grooming', rape and trafficking.
This probably stems from a belief that their religion regards girls of tender years to be old enough, and ready for, marriage. Their religion, which is male-dominated, also regards it as morally wrong for girls to display any sign of their femininity in public which is akin to being a harlot. These ideas are, of course, in direct contradiction to the generally accepted, Christian way-of-life in the western world. I must admit that I also get a tad miffed when they preach about 'slaying the Infidel' and willingly taking the lives of innocent members of world's public just to secure a life of personal reward in some airy-fairy 'paradise'...where having loads of (young?) virgins is seen as the ultimate reward. Obviously this (probably) doesn't apply to ALL Pakistani men BUT, because their religion condones, or even encourages, lying to the Infidel (that's us!), it's very difficult, and perhaps very foolish, to have any trust in what they say. |

Not much chance of that.
But if he does, he may get the 'Chester Jester' to defend him. Wonderful title supplied by Alun2005. |

you mean like the jews? |
|
By:
strictly speaking they wouldn't be leaving by their own free will, more "encouraged" by the nationalist socialist workers BDS campaign.

sorry munter, just realised you may have a first language other than english, and you may be alternately verbally talented.

and Danchuk has done more than anyone to resurrect the abuse inquiries currently causing 'peadophiles in power' to not be sleeping easy anymore
|
|
By:
oh yes . very good Mr pb. I like that.
|
|
By:
I'm surprised the picture of Rochdale Town Hall, with the flag of Pakistan flying proudly, hasn't already featured on UKIP's Election literature.
|
|
By:
i think it's terrific that you're willing to have a go
 good for you! |
|
By:
.... so it's well out of order to be having a go at him. (Mr Danchuk) - he's done/is getting done stuff for which we are all truly thankful, are we not?

(I'm no polyglot

keep at it, it's all about practice and confidence! welcome to britain!

welcome to Britain - what warm warm words. I knew I had 'arrived' when I saw those words on the sign at Calais.

By:
So this assh0le Danczuk doesnt even know if Katie has committed a crime, but if one can be found please charge her.
|
|
By:
Katie? She a mate of yours?
|
|
By:
Yeah love her. Speaks her mind and isnt from the 'loony' left.
|
|
By:
I speak my mind too. She's a cu nt.
|
|
By:
Stick her up as a UKIP candidate in Dover and she'll pi$$ it.
|
|
By:
been behind her in waitrose
u wd |
|
By:
I'd put a stick up her and hoist her over Rochdale town hall.
|
|
By:
Waitrose.
 |
|
By:
I agree entirely with M D'H
|
|
By:
Very wise, Facts.
While we're at it, Waitrose is vastly overrated! |
|
By:
Danczuk should report himself. Raising the Pakistani flag in a British town when we are discouraged from flying the flag of St. George so as not to offend our muslim brothers. No doubt he'll gain a few votes from it, which at the end of the day was the whole purpose.
|
|
By:
Spot on Pants. Didnt know they had Waitrose in Ireland MD?
|
|
By:
They don't, although they were supposed to open one in Belfast.
I'm in Derbyshire though, where there are two. Overrated and overpriced. |
