That might hold true of someone else but there is a lot of hostory here. Besides she came back and said she 'stood by ger tweet' before revising it. She knew what she was doing, and I imagine she'll be wittering on about her LBC martyrdom before long, and how free speech is being denied to her. Poor thing!Greenie Junior said:

she edited it, but should have said it in the first place.... selective hearing means not noticing the rest of the vile words that she uses daily.BR7_addick said:@shine166 she retracted the tweet and it was noted she meant final solution for Islamic terror, not Muslims as whole, but a bit of selective listening never hurt anyway I guess..

PC nonsense ? shes a dangerous troll that says tripe like that to make her relevant and incite hate

You see the problem is that a journalist - particularly one with a large following - needs to have higher standards. Publishing comments that are "not thought through" might be acceptable by the likes of you and me. But, an influential media figure must be held accountable.Greenie Junior said:

It's not the first time that she's tweeted something that's got her into trouble. Once might be forgivable. Repeating it falls well below what should be acceptable for a professional journalist. Even a horrible one like her.12 -
Unfortunately said childrens abuses were not being shown to the world on social media dailyLenGlover said:I just wish the authorities had been as efficient at responding to demands to investigate child abuse as they have in demanding the sacking of a non-
conformist journalist.

And for the record I agree it was stupid, to not think the original tweet through.0

Well.. I listened to her show a few weeks ago where she flatly refused to let her child access from her childs junior school to listen to a muslim preacher educate our kids in to the way of islam.... Before you get on my case she simply asked her school that would be fine but what dates are my child booked to go to a Catholic school to learn catholicism and the church of England school to learn Christianity.... Of course there wasn't any. Some would see that as racist of course.4

Can't argue with that. For what it's worth, I'm not familiar with the reference, still am not, was just putting my two pennies worth in from a standard point of view i.e. Human reaction to something like that happening.Chizz said:

Condemns Katie Hopkins, but forgot to do the same to the perpetrators of the Manchester attack.AddickUpNorth said:She's just such a hateful waste of blood and organs, a skidmark on our nation.

Took in some of her articles into school this year for students to look at, including the ones on sinking immigrants' boats and the less controversial but equally idiotic one about how to bring up children.
These students who speak English as their second language took very little time to conclude that her 'views' are clearly fabricated to generate controversy and therefore attention and money, and should be regarded as such. Unfortunately she has created a nice earner by doing this and seems determined to outdo herself each time with increasingly desperate controversial statements. Hopefully she will sink into obscurity very soon.

Who the feck is she to say anything about anything any more than you or I?
Seriously, has she ever, I dunno, achieved anything?

I would imagine her child goes to a WASP school where daily assembly is an act of Christian worship and at Christmas they do a nativity play. Do you consider it wrong for children to understand the world religions - Christianity, Islam and the base of both, Judaism? They are all bollocks in my view but they have defined the history of mankind for millenia - it's called education.Chippycafc said:Well..

I also believe that Catholics would probably consider themselves to be able to teach Christianity - after all they did have the thick end of a 1500 year start on the protestants.7 -
I'm still getting over the description of her as a non-conformist journalist.1

Too right mate, and also while we're at it - it's not fair, why isn't there a white history month? No international men's day? What??! I'm SICK of this.Chippycafc said:Well..

I'm off to campaign for the rights of white Christian men everywhere. I might climb a crane with a banner... although you bloody health and safety gone mad tossers will probably stop me.
Hell. Handcart.

Professional troll. Global is a great company with some seriously talented people that I know would've celebrated her sacking. Just a shame it's taken this long to sack her.1

Bankruptcy and food banks would be the fitting destination for her, sadly I won't hold my breath, she'll end up on Fox News within the month.2

At the end of the day she's a hate preacher . No better than the Muslim clerics that preach hate in mosques except she's given a bigger audience by being allowed to broadcast on radio and write in the national press.
The woman is disgusting and I hope Karma deals her a shitty hand for the rest of her miserable life.13 -
She should be, but she's probably the most moderate voice of the Daily Fail.bobmunro said:
I wonder if the Mail will follow suit - I won't hold my breath.Chizz said:Very pleased to see that Ms Hopkins has been relieved of her duties on LBC this morning (she's "agreed to leave her job"), after complaints were made to the Met, following a tweet in which she called for a "final solution" a few hours after the Manchester bombing.
I strongly suspect it has more to do with her use of "final solution" than her failure to spell Manchester properly in the tweet.
So no she won't be sacked regrettably.0 -
International mens day is in November
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Men's_Day
There is no reason for a white history month or week because if you look at the history output of the BBC it is 90% about white Europeans and why not.

@smudge7946 - your comment further up is bollocks fella and out of order. I think you need to apologise for the insinuation that I condone terrorism just because I criticize Hopkins.9

I thought the same. If it were a thread specifically about the Manchester bombings, rather than that foul minded harridan it might be different. The only people who don't condemn any kind of terrorist attack are the terrorists themselves. Condemnation is the default position as far as I am concerned.AddickUpNorth said:@smudge7946 - your comment further up is bollocks fella and out of order.

I checked your history. You forgot to condem the Manchester terrorists. I'm sure it was an oversight.

Could you link me to a post of yours that condemns the attacks? I can't find one! I can only assume you were involved.smudge7946 said:

I'm sure he's about to correct this on the appropriate thread and apologise.4 -
I didn't either. I took it as read and posted an RIP. Could we all stop trying to score cheap points off each other? It achieves nothing.3

If you're going to slag me off Smudge for not doing the thing that you haven't done then well, you really are a berk. Why you chose to check my history to try and make your point I don't know, you obviously have far too much time on your hands. As for your deluded and downright bullshit belief that I am some sort of Islamic terrorist sympathiser then you should try and remember what I do for a living. I have been threatened by convicted terrorists, I see on a daily basis of what these people are like so I perhaps, more than most on here, have no reason to be sympathetic to them.12
