The Katie Hopkins Thread
A few close friends and members of my family, perhaps.
But as a general rule?
(And that doesn't mean they'll reach the same conclusion as me)

The Katie Hopkins Thread
There's nothing 'evil' about (that person). (That person) is merely a professional troll, a mouthpiece to sell papers to people that gorge themselves upon the redundant, box-ticking outrageous-ness that passes for (that person's) opinion - and to draw ire from the rest of us that don't.
Don't fall for it.

This is apparently the same group she was with earlier in the week to defend Europe

This reeks of intellectual vanity (the event, not MsD, obvs); firstly on the part of the audience, who presumably mostly disagree with her moronic views but think they can handle the stuff that fools the proles, and also from the interviewer, who must think that she'll probe or confound Hopkins in some revelatory manner when EIM's description above is really all you need to know.

Not entirely sure, but he tells me he feels reassured that the Guardian journalist will rip her to shreds. I'm still uneasy that she's getting a platform in a (fairly) fashionable venue, which lends a sort of sheen to it. Part of the normalisation of fascism and vile extremists presented as whacky characters.
There's at least one person going who regards Hopkins as a "goddess"; I know because we had a Twitter spat last night.

No, and I'd guess some people are going just so they can check in on social media (she says, sniffily). The majority of luvvies who form the membership would be quite left-leaning. Lily Allen is a member - actually, I'm not sure she knows as she would probably have something to say.

People such as Hopkins cannot be engaged in a rational and reasonable debate and therefore should be boycotted and the oxygen of publicity that they thrive on be withdrawn.
MsD, do you have a link to that by any chance?
