Katie Hopkins

She's an irrelevant, attention seeking, cretin of a woman; who rarely ( if ever ) says anything worth hearing....and she never ceases to confirm it. :)


It will be interesting to see whether the powers that be deem 'Jock' to be a derogatory term for a race of people mind you, apparently some people do ( for the record, it doesn't really bother me ).
With the way they interpret that particular law up here she may very well find herself in hot water........preferably up to her forehead! :)

Edit: As an aside, I note she came in from Sierra Leone via Heathrow......where the English never picked up on the disease. Makes you wonder if you'd trust them to cure it. ;)

:D

Yes, she showed no signs or temperature and had 7 further tests and nothing showed, her symptoms started after, so I don't know what more could have been done, other than s QT period before exit from country before any travel.

Anyway, are the comments racist and delivered in a racist manner and if so, what is the penalty?
 
Non story if you ask me, she likes spouting her mouth of to try keep herself relevant in the media etc.

Nothing will come of it as theres far worse things on social media that don't get any actions against them.
 
Like I say, Jock doesn't bother me, but I daresay it could be taken as a racist comment by some, pretty sure it will be tbh, so who knows.

You have to ask yourself, would it be amusing if the doc was Indian and she had mentioned Sweaty Indians, or if she had said Chinksville if the doc had been Chinese for example? Paki for a Pakistani? I reckon there would have been an outcry. #using these terms as an example, not intended in a derogatory manner, purely to highlight the way some up here may view the comments#

Down to interpretation nowadays isn't it. But, there was a law implemented up here ( a bad one imo ) to cover racism, sectarianism etc that could possibly land her in trouble.
 
Her comments may be stupid and ignorant but surely it's best to just ignore them. People do get offended much too easy these days.

Couldn't agree more, someone the other day on twitter was moaning about her and said he was going to report her for being "annoying" which apparently you can now do on twitter!

I suggested why not just not follow her or block then she won't annoy you!
 
She's a hateful, attention seeking, loud mouthed bitch. Every time I see or hear about her my blood pressure rises.

One of the greatest arguments against freedom of speech that walks the earth today.

That would be far to easy for them that's permanently offended imo.

But, again, it's subjective. What you might get wound up about might not bother others and vice versa.

At the end of the day with her it's only words, she can spout as much rubbish and vile as she want's it may get me a bit annoyed but at the end of the day it's only words.

Indeed! There might even be a song line in there - with a slight connection to Golf too!

However, as PBob posted, there comes a time when statements by idiotic attention-seekers need to be jumped upon! :rant:

Nah! One (or more) of The Bee Gees had the ball attracting property on the left of the 17th of The West Course - just past the road. Several of their songs were written/composed in it and Thomas Bjorn had a bit of an adventure in the trees adjacent to it during a PGA that he was near the top of the leaderboard at the time!

And you definitely don't want to be in the only bunker on that hole!! :whistle:

Couldn't agree more. Her comments are stupid, irrelevant, dull, misguided..... in fact I'm surprised anyone takes a blind bit of notice of the woman.

One thing her comments aren't though is 'racist'. The Scotts are not a race they are a nation - "Jock" is not a 'racist' term. It may be a nationalistic term if used by someone of a different nation in a derogatory way about the Scottish, but it isn't racist. Saying that someone has made a racist comment when referring to people of another country who are predominately of the same race as themselves and while not mentioning their race is frankly barking mad.
