"its been revealed that katie hopkins, her of the woman of the farther right, has had to file for bankruptcy after her legal woes.... i am not one to gloat.. and i think it is quite sad, she could have basically avoided it all by just apologising for some of her more controversial actions and comments... and yet, she was so stubborn! sometimes we are our own worst enemies at times......" She spoke the truth and personally I found her entertaining to watch. Especially her view on airlines with the fat tax. I completely agree with that point among many other things she has said. People are just snowflakes that need to man up. Life isn’t a fairytale. She shouldn’t have to apologise for her opinions and facts. Personally I’d offer her some financial help just to watch everyone winge. | |||

She's actually entering an IVA to avoid bankruptcy. Just means that she's still skint but an IVA gives her more freedom than going bankrupt. As you said, an apology would have saved all this. | |||

"I’ve always just get sorry for her. She’s so full of anger and hate, you just have to wonder what’s gone so badly wrong with her life that’s she’s ended up like this." I can't feel sorry for someone that enjoys being vile. | |||

With the right to free speech comes accountability and responsibility for what we say.. Similar to acting within the laws of the land, isn't fucking rocket science. | |||

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and should be able to express them freely. Give me some example of her lies then?" She's filed for the IVA after losing a libel case against Jack Monroe, who she falsely accused of vandalising a war memorial on Twitter. In other words it was proven in court that she lied. Jack Monroe offered her the option to settle out of court for an apology and a donation to charity. Katie Hopkins rejected this. To sum up, she's a proven liar and too pig headed to have saved herself the bill. You and her are the snowflakes that need to man up and accept that actions have consequences. | |||

It really is a shame that some folk just can't handle the concept of Free speech. Freedom of speech is under attack as we've already seen with the deplatforming and attempted silencing of Alex Jones in the USA. These attempts to stifle and suppress free speech really need to be resisted and it's people like Kate Hopkins and Alex Jones who are out on the front line fighting this battle. Maybe Kate Hopkins should start a crowd funding site to support her cause, I for one would be willing to make a donation and I expect she would get a lot of support, not only here in the UK but from the USA too. | |||

The fact that someone can find your views offensive, or that a court of law can find a claim you make wrong does not mean Freedon of Speech is not there. Ironically, it is *you* who cannot handle or understand the concept of Freedom of Speech if you believe that it somehow means "freedom of consequences for my words and actions". -Matt | |||

You are claiming Alex Jones has had his free speech taken away from him?! And you are trying to quote the US Constitution with regards to Facebook and YouTube?! Oh for fucks sake man. Do yourself a favour and do just the slightest bit of research before you type things. Are you really THAT unaware that the US Constitution is a document that describes the responsibilities of the *government*. And that if a private company or two decide that they don't want you breaking their terms and conditions that you agreed to in the use of their service and kick you off, that it is not your right to free speech under the US constitution that has been violated? How come so many of the far right bang on so much about the US constitution and seem so clueless about what it actually is? Alex Jones is perfectly capable and able to set up his own FarRightTinFoilHatNutJobTube for all his followers. And he can be king of his castle. But if he wants to use the services of another company then he needs to abide by their rules. They are a private company and have every right to deny you service. -Matt | |||

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and should be able to express them freely. Give me some example of her lies then? Sunshine, you want to go round cunting people off by all means do so. All that will happen is someone bigger will at some point lamp you.. When someone says what you have in your first sentence it only serves to indicate they lack the common sense to know when they're being an offensive fool or they have an agenda.. "Someone bigger will at some point lamp you"???? So if you can't win an argument you just resort to physical violence to 'lamp' someone then? Besides even that point of your argument doesn't stand up as the saying goes the biggest dog in the fight doesn't always win, you never heard of David and Goliath? Stop being stupid, you know for someone who supports the likes of the far right you are naive at times.. David and goliath, get a grip..
Really is that the best you can do? So first you make a veiled threat to 'lamp' someone on the thread then when the absurdity of what you said is pointed out to you all you can do is reply with ad hominem attacks calling people stupid? When it comes to stupid you need to take a long hard look in the mirror. "You being obtuse centy, I made no threat at all and that's patently obvious to anyone with any sense.. So you were and have reiterated that stupidity in this post.. | |||

The fact I can disagree with you or find your views abhorrent does not diminish your freedom of speech. -Matt It does when you deplatform and silence someone like Alex Jones. He's not been convicted of any hate crime in any court of law, no successful prosecutions have been made against him and yet he's had his right to free speech taken away from him on sites like Facebook and YouTube. A right to free speech is a fundamental right under the American constitution which Facebook and YouTube have violated. Hahahah... c'mon Centy. Seriously. This is getting ridiculous now. You are claiming Alex Jones has had his free speech taken away from him?! And you are trying to quote the US Constitution with regards to Facebook and YouTube?! Oh for fucks sake man. Do yourself a favour and do just the slightest bit of research before you type things. Are you really THAT unaware that the US Constitution is a document that describes the responsibilities of the *government*. And that if a private company or two decide that they don't want you breaking their terms and conditions that you agreed to in the use of their service and kick you off, that it is not your right to free speech under the US constitution that has been violated? How come so many of the far right bang on so much about the US constitution and seem so clueless about what it actually is? Alex Jones is perfectly capable and able to set up his own FarRightTinFoilHatNutJobTube for all his followers. And he can be king of his castle. But if he wants to use the services of another company then he needs to abide by their rules. They are a private company and have every right to deny you service. -Matt" It's you who is ignorant here Matt, maybe you should go and do some research on this yourself. Facebook, Google and YouTube have obligations under US law to operate on a politically neutral basis or must run their business without aligning themselves to any particular political point of view. It's become blatantly obvious to anyone who has done a bare minimum of research into this (which you clearly haven't) that these tech giants are not being politically neutral and are increasingly becoming politically biased which goes against the rules which they originally agreed to operate under. So when it comes to 'abiding by the rules' maybe companies like Facebook and YouTube should start practicing what they're preaching. | |||

1)"Free speech" means that you have the right to say what you want (next bit is the important bit, pay attention), without being put in prison. It DOES NOT mean "freedom from consequence or criticism"
2) Boycott is perfectly legitimate. Nobody is stopping either Alex Jones or Hopkins from writing books/having a website etc.
I've asked it before to the "freedom of speech" snowflakes: If you wrote an article and sent it to The Times, should they be obliged to publish it?

You're missing the point. She's in this mess because it was proven that she'd committed libel by telling a falsehood.

Personally I’d offer her some financial help just to watch everyone winge." Facts and opinions are subjective to Hopkins. Facts and statistics only get used by her when she goes on the attack, when someone attacks her opinion or statements with counter statistics or evidence she throws out an unsupported opinion or screams snowflake. As a provocateur she's good. And she raises points which should be raised or even if they don't need to be, can be as in a western society we must continually debate things. Sadly, the way in which she provokes discussion is done in part for mass media attention as a strategy, and that strategy has a penalty which has caught up with her. She's hardly working class. We won't be seeing her homeless anytime soon. | |||

"Katie is a force of nature, sometimes saying too much, but very often saying what most people believe but haven’t the bottle to say out loud." I'm always amused by the 'most people believe' statement used to justify odious things that social commentators say. If most people believed then obviously there wouldn't be almost universal denouncement of such utterances. | |||

"I’m sure Katie just needs to start a crowd funding page, and many thousands will be raised and get her out of the shit. Many people appreciate what she does, she only has to ask." So then a simple question... does Katie Hopkins free speech give her the right to defame people? Just a yes or no answer will suffice ... | |||

" It does when you deplatform and silence someone like Alex Jones.

Jones claims it was all a hoax and that the parents were in fact actors. His arguement basically is that You Tube is not a serious media institution and that he is not a significant public figure. Basically he is saying that his claims about the shootings are a load of made up bull and no one should take it seriously, like he's only joking. | |||

For example, anyone can and does say whatever they want about some people, and many who aim abuse at Katie get away with it. The crap that is spewed out about President Trump is just insane, but if he started to sue one, he would have to sue them all, it’s not possible. People being ruined over something the said or wrote is a disgusting concept. I’m for total free speech, and for the millions of snowflakes in the world to have to toughen up." Shows how little you understand. Libel laws in the UK and USA are very different for one thing. In the USA burden of proof for defamation lies with the plaintiff. In the UK burden lies with the defendant. So your statement about laws being one sided and giving examples of one American and one Brit makes zero sense. Nada. Zilch. Fail. | |||

I assume you approved of the abuse JRMs kids got them ? You assume too much.how is this not total free speech ? Where’s the line ? Bone is a vicious bastard with a record of violence as long as your leg. The fact that he was so agressive towards a man who was with his children, means that the old cunt is still a threat. Hard core anarchy is not what I meant when I said total free speech. I don’t believe in direct action, not in his warped way of going about it anyhow." You can't have it both ways, totally wrong that bone had a go in front of moggs kids but your claim that he was aggressive doesn't stand up based on the footage shown. Had he been then the police standing by would have stepped in.. All hate speech should be treated the same no matter what the politics, same as extremists should all be condemned and not just the none white ones as often happens on here.. When we allow either set of behaviour to be acceptable by 'our side' then we are part of the problem and that's not good.. | |||

A right to free speech is a fundamental right under the American constitution which Facebook and YouTube have violated. Hahahah... c'mon Centy. Seriously. This is getting ridiculous now. You are claiming Alex Jones has had his free speech taken away from him?! And you are trying to quote the US Constitution with regards to Facebook and YouTube?! Oh for fucks sake man. Do yourself a favour and do just the slightest bit of research before you type things. Are you really THAT unaware that the US Constitution is a document that describes the responsibilities of the *government*. And that if a private company or two decide that they don't want you breaking their terms and conditions that you agreed to in the use of their service and kick you off, that it is not your right to free speech under the US constitution that has been violated? How come so many of the far right bang on so much about the US constitution and seem so clueless about what it actually is? Alex Jones is perfectly capable and able to set up his own FarRightTinFoilHatNutJobTube for all his followers. And he can be king of his castle. But if he wants to use the services of another company then he needs to abide by their rules. They are a private company and have every right to deny you service. -Matt It's you who is ignorant here Matt, maybe you should go and do some research on this yourself. Facebook, Google and YouTube have obligations under US law to operate on a politically neutral basis or must run their business without aligning themselves to any particular political point of view. It's become blatantly obvious to anyone who has done a bare minimum of research into this (which you clearly haven't) that these tech giants are not being politically neutral and are increasingly becoming politically biased which goes against the rules which they originally agreed to operate under. So when it comes to 'abiding by the rules' maybe companies like Facebook and YouTube should start practicing what they're preaching. " There's a hint of truth in this...just look at Netflix, sowing the seeds of leftwing propaganda for years now...particularly on racial and gender topics. | |||

"She seriously gives cause for grave concern for her general intelligence - notwithstanding moral deficiencies. She firstly saw it was right to state what she has. Then when corrected,s Is offered to say she's sorry and make a small donation to charity. Willfully rejecting such a generous offer, she's sued - the legal costs are what have swallowed her money. Thus predictable and avoidable due to those she caused suffering to, giving her the generosity of spirit that is so alien to her. It's tragic what has happened. There are no winners, except legal professionals doing their jobs. People can say and do what they wish to but must pay the consequences, where they break laws or harm others. Most children have grasped this concept, before they leave primary school. " I would say that it's more inconsequential than tragic. Who cares?! She's a has-been and easily ignored. | |||

"I’m sure Katie just needs to start a crowd funding page, and many thousands will be raised and get her out of the shit. Many people appreciate what she does, she only has to ask." Actually someone tried to do this when the case first went to court and the page made fuck all. In contrast, a parody page which was said to crowdfund for her but was actually to a migrant charity made a canny bit of money. So either her supporters are too lazy and uncharitable or they're too stupid to understand how a parody page works. She's also said that people who get themselves into trouble financially only have themselves to blame because they make stupid life choices. If she 'parrots' the truth, she'll know then that it's wrong to ask for financial help off others since it's her own fault she's in this mess. | |||

She accused someone of vandalizing war memorials - they didn't do it and were offended because, unlike Hopkins, they come from a military family and have a background in uniformed services. Hopkins refused to back down and lost on court. The fact that she was wrong is not in doubt. | |||

However despite the fears of Cambridge analytica and / or Russian bots, I suspect the editorial bias the daily mail, the sun, etc held greater weight. | |||

And in spite of what you think, given that they are privately owned media platforms the company, in effect publishes what is written, in much the same way that columnists don't own newspapers. Facebook and YouTube are private corporations, and like all of them, are concerned with their brand image. Freedom of the press means that anyone can publish as long as they have the financial means to do so. Anyone could buy a website or start a newspaper. | |||

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and should be able to express them freely. Absolutely spot on. Kate Hopkins is fully entitled to express her own views and opinions. It really is a shame that some folk just can't handle the concept of Free speech. Freedom of speech is under attack as we've already seen with the deplatforming and attempted silencing of Alex Jones in the USA. These attempts to stifle and suppress free speech really need to be resisted and it's people like Kate Hopkins and Alex Jones who are out on the front line fighting this battle. Maybe Kate Hopkins should start a crowd funding site to support her cause, I for one would be willing to make a donation and I expect she would get a lot of support, not only here in the UK but from the USA too.
No, see Centy, this is where you and your right-wing Alex Jones loving buddies get it so wrong. The fact that someone can find your views offensive, or that a court of law can find a claim you make wrong does not mean Freedon of Speech is not there. Ironically, it is *you* who cannot handle or understand the concept of Freedom of Speech if you believe that it somehow means "freedom of consequences for my words and actions".
