Hopkins is an awful excuse for a Journalist , on twitter all the time with her hate filled drivel , a bit similar to the big fat tub of lard in the White House
|

By:
who will cover her bills this time ?
|
|
By:
Yep. Trade in hate speech to your cost

Muslims get away with it at will, is it just non muslims that are not allowed?

more bigotry saddo ?
|
|
By:
If the truth is bigotry, then yes.

|
By:
Well Katie and the daily fail know all about that
|
|
By:
but its not the truth, its just your idea of it
kind of says it all |

The irony of criticising someone over their 'hate filled drivel' and then calling someone a 'big fat tub of lard' would be funny if it wasn't so ridiculous.

It goes on every day in mosques around this country. There was plenty of hate speech at the ISIS march in London the other week, while our police simply guarded the event.

Hopkins was offended by someone defacing a war memorial,she named Jack Munroe rather than Laurie Penny.
Facts,Donny Osmond and Dave don't see anything wrong in defacing war memorials,these gents hate their history. They are in fairness fond of Islam,always defending,those Islamists aren't fond of war memorials either. Katie Hopkins is an English patriot and fearless in defence of her country,I hope she gets some financial backing here. |
|
By:
An English patriot ffs
 |
|
By:
She may approach it from a different angle but she's a patriot alright.
She defends England,she likes the English and has a quite reasonable suspicion of those gentlemen your party sadly champions. |
|
By:
An English patriot ffs
To paraphrase Jilted John, she's more of a patriot than you'll ever be. |

Anxious. It is sad how our party supports everything about them and even separated meetings.

No not everybody has that opinion not allowed some do but I don't , if there is wrong and murder and violence it should be punished , anyway my main point is about the likes of Hopkins and ex reality star now a right wing bigot obviously she like the money involved so the more the likes of her do it.

What is shameful is how the right has been correct on a fair few issues which Labour never wishes to confront. They are beating us to the punch so many times. Kinock and then Blair's slavish concentration on letting millions into this country for votes is to be deplored and has set up a tinder box to be lit by right wing extremists and islamic fundamentalists.
|
|
By:
she is welcome to highlite the crime of defacing a war memorial
thats great we all agree to this point but then she rants on and loses the plot, cost her ( or her backers ) 1/3 of a million great stuff, stick to facts |
|
By:
The fine was only £24,000 but Katie Hopkins could have settled for paying five grand and an apology up to the time it went to court, so it is great that she has to pay £100,000 costs too.
|
|
By:
Maybe the figures I heard are wrong. A third of a million, Donny, that would be even better.
|
|
By:
She is a big mouth but often she is just saying it the way it is, not always right of course, and now no longer under the illusion that free speech means no consequences. It doesn't ! The original tweet should have been deleted within minutes as soon as she was told it was wrong and should have made an apology. But for Hopkins the price of not saying sorry has been very high. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person !
 |
|
By:
i read 300k costs
no idea if its right, i guess we wont ever know |
|
By:
If Donny is in the right ballpark, we should organize a forum whip-round for Katie Hopkins.
|
|
By:
The reality here pardon the pun is that she has made an awful lot of money in the last 5 to 6 years from this lark, so as well as having the mouth she now as a big platform to play to the galleries she as a newspaper column to become more controversial and make more money, reminds me very much of the right wing shock jocks in the USA who arrived about 20 years ago.
|
|
By:
Hopefully, one day, this idiot will libel someone with real clout. Then, with any luck, we will never hear from her again!
|
|
By:
^ £24.000 in damages, and also been ordered to pay £107,000 costs within the next month, with the full figure yet to be announced.
The other thing to be learned, from Hopkins' perspective, is that sometimes acknowledging error and apologising will do. |

By:
dave that is particularly nasty and a typical distraction from the issues yet again. I have been a far left member for over 40 years and have campaigned in many a west midlands constituency.
#I have friends who have been members of parliament and been a trade unionist activist and steward. In my earlier days in the 70s actively campaigned against apartheid(having actually visited the country) and later with the ANL. Now go off and find someone else to accuse of whatever comes into your mind. Make sure you also carry on ignoring the problems. |

That works for people who have morals and a conscience. She has neither

Katie Hopkins’ legal bills are to top £300,000 after she lost a High Court battle to poverty campaigner and food blogger Jack Monroe, The Independent understands.
The judgement ordered Hopkins pay Monroe compensation of £24,000 for defamatory comments made on Twitter in May 2015. But Monroe’s lawyers confirmed to The Independent that Hopkins will also pick up the bill for legal costs in excess of £300,000. |

KT in the main merely says what most are thinking but are afraid to say.
Long may she continue exposing what the media dodge. Should be made a Dame. |

wildmanfromborneo Katie Hopkins is an English patriot and fearless in defence of her country,I hope she gets some financial backing here. Every country needs at least one Katie to tell it like it is. |

By:
wrongly blaming innocent folk for the crimes of others
carry on cashpoint katie |
|
By:
Or in Katie's case telling it like it isn't.
|

By:
Apparently, pride is the greatest sin of all! She'd rather waste hundreds of thousands of pounds than lose her pride (ie. apologise).

Or in Katie's case telling it like it isn't How many statements has Katie made? How many has she been taken to court for? I think the odds favour her.  |
|
By:
Great news.
If only it could it ruin her both financially & mentally. Btw aka, going to court can be an expensive business as poor old Katie can testify. |
|
By:
She won't be doing that again
it's all fakery as well what will she do now eh!!Fcuk all.. |
