‘Katie Hopkins has been permanently suspended from Twitter for violating its hateful conduct policy.’

Having freedom of speech is one thing, being suspended from a forum such as Twitter or Uptheclarets for breaking the rules of said forum is not violating freedom of speech.
What is it that she said?

She is renowned for her hateful comments so I would expect the reasons for her suspension to follow suit.

Yeah fingers crossed they explain what it's for. Always assumed it was an open forum, and not policed according to which side of the political extremes opinions were voiced from

Brilliant.

Calling someone a stupid bitch who knows what she's doing.

Have you been on the pink gin?


If anyone is upset by her, just block her on social media and have a better life.
Someone knowingly being a **** is still a ****. You can't defend it.

Depends how you define an open forum? There are rules, and she appears to have broken them. When people break the rules on this forum they also get a ban. Get your knickers in a twist about political extremes if you want but siding with someone who spreads hate does you no favours.

I replied supporting Marcus Rashfords tweet to her (telling her to f off) the other day.
I dont follow her or agree with what she says
Not sure why you think I'm siding with her.
I'd just rather have her saying things people dont agree with openly then it can be dealt with, as opposed to anonymous people, using encryption or whatever to gather a following.

It seemed like you were siding with her, apologies if I misunderstood.

There’s a fine line between allowing someone to have their say and allowing them to spread hatred. Twitter has a set of rules and if a user breaks those rules they can be prevented from using that platform. It seems on this occasion that it has been dealt with. Surely you aren’t happy with people being allowed to post any old filth on there?

I’ve not really heard from Terry Christian for about 20 years so I don’t have an axe to grind either way with him. But his comment seems to be very much in jest, even if it may be regarded as bad taste. If he was issued a warning for that post then I wouldn’t object. If he kept posting similar things after his warning then I also wouldn’t be opposed to him being permanently suspended. These people can find somewhere else to spread their views, Twitter has every right to suspend users who break their rules.

I get that twitter can ban people that they dont want on their platform. But I always assumed it only did that in circumstances where people crossed the line when it comes it legality, slander, inciting violence etc.
If she has encroached those boundaries then fair enough.
But if she has been banned for posting things that are unpalatable then they are proposing themselves as arbiter's of free speech.
They need to explain why and what it is she has said that has brought about her censorship on there, otherwise it will die on it's own sword.
I hold that opinion for anyone that posts anything that isnt necessarily what people want to read/hear

She has been banned for violating Twitters hateful conduct policy. I don’t think the hateful conduct needs to be given any more airtime by further publishing of the tweets. They’ve been deleted for a reason. I wouldn’t expect Twitter to publicly explain the reasons for every person they decide to suspend.

Obviously it’s impossible to police every single tweet so it stands to reason that those with the most followers will attract the most attention and therefore complaints. It’s more harmful for hatred to be spread by someone with 1 million followers than someone with 32 followers.

One of the worst things you can call someone in the current climate, is racist. And yet you don't need any evidence, it can just be thrown around like confetti, it doesn't seem to matter.

Folk on here and on other social media platforms don't know how much of a big deal it is to call someone a racist.

It's boring and it dilutes.

(Just a general rant and not about whether that awful woman should be banned from Twitter or not)

So are we allowed to call racist people like Katie Hopkins racist?

The problem I see is that people are now using the argument that you can’t call people racists because it dilutes the meaning of the term.

There are different levels of racism. You don’t have to have a swastika tattoo on your head and beat up black people to be racist. Some elderly people who are ignorant to the changing times are also racist, I have some sympathy for them because it is their ingrained ignorance rather than spiteful hatred that makes them racist. But they are racist nonetheless.

You can call Katie Hopkins or anyone else whatever you want Rileybobs.

If we have 'different levels of racism' then that is the problem.

My point being that there are those that are knowingly racist, and those who don’t know they are. I’m sure a lot of our grandparents, for example, threw around terms that wouldn’t be acceptable today. By definition, even if those comments were made in ignorance they were racist.

Anyhow, excellent tune. Good night.

Made 2 very valid points the other day on a video I saw, but other than that, I dont see much of her as not on twitter.

Presume she's like lots of vloggers, bloggers and such like.
Gets all the attention she needs through trying to be controversial and/or fake.

Ironically the ones who give them what they crave the most, are usually the ones who have opposite views, opinions and detest them.
Milking them for time, publicity and indirectly they keep her in work, in the media and their pockets lined.

Very clever.
Sometimes you've to play the fool, to fool the fool, that thinks they're fooling you.

She's someone who needs to disappear into the wilderness and to be never seen or heard of again in the media. Hopefully this will help.

People who could perhaps be racist & unaware that they could be or who don’t that they are may not be, it’s a very complex issue & open to interpretation, nowadays you can say something completely harmless oblivious to what you are saying & offend millions of people at the drop of a hat, society & culture is so class divided & mixed, by your own admission you’ve touched & recognised the generational differences & tolerances have shifted in opposite directions from say a few decades previously.

Your absolutely right. What is racist to someo e is not to someone else and since the coming of the snowflake and Woke generation the bar is now set very low.

She used it in response to the Manchester bombing as needing a final solution to the problem of Islam and Muslims in the same way the Nazi's called for a final solution with regards the Jews.

This is one tweet there is no defense for unless your happy for Nazi ideas from the holocaust to be promoted as solutions to problems in todays society

Nor is there any outrage or discust, what did Rabb actually do? Refused to do as he is told by BLM therefore must be a racist. BLM are simply out to create division and hostility, they even blocked an airport runway because the pollution affects black people, that's right, pollution is racist. They are an embarrassed to a lot of black people, who like me simply want racial harmony

More a noticeable observation that certain posters are very eager to judge & :brand other posters as racist or alleging there could be without asking the appropriate questions & neglecting any sort of analysis with the content of the posts.

It's because your definition of racist is anybody who has a different opinion to you. People who see racism are called race biters, very much more dangerous, is that you?

It's because your definition of racist is anybody who has a different opinion to you. People who see racism are called race biters, very much more dangerous, is that you?
No it isn’t. My definition of racist is somebody who is prejudiced against other people because of their race. And there’s plenty on here.

I’ve no idea what a race biter is so I wouldn’t know if that applies to me.

I've heard of race baiter, but not race biter.

Some of the nut jobs on here jump on the vile tweet from the left extremist (who is a nobody with 200 followers and whose tweets will be seen by about as many people who will see this post of mine) and get excited that Twitter is part of the Left agenda where the right get censored and the left say what they want

You are all obviously clueless to what Twitter consists of and how it works. It is full of thousands of accounts (mostly faceless and predominately far right racist and homophobic ) who use it to post hateful and disgusting stuff. Im sure Twitter deletes, suspends and bans accounts but these nobodys can just create another. Individually their voice is unheard and so people wont see the tweets to report them and Twitter is not going to police millions of individual nobodys

Where someone has thousands of followers and much more of their Tweet sand opinions are spread far and wide they will look to uphold their rules around hate speech and inciting violence but even then they give hundreds of warnings and need thousands of people to report things. It takes and awful lot of prolonged and repetitive vile tweeting to get banned but over many years this is what Hopkins has done

To give some context to what goes on and how its not a leftist controlled agenda yesterday Ash Sarkar posted a picture of her at a park eating an ice lolly. Following the Reading incident she has received a torrent of abuse including death threats. Below are some of the tweets that have not been removed by the culprits once people started sharing them for all to see

Remember this is one picture from a young lady sitting in a park eating an ice lolly enjoying the sun and by the way this is exactly the kind of hate towards brown people that Hopkins consistently tries to stoke up and incite

You’re just a race biter and you’re far more dangerous than those decent lads replying to Ash Sarkar.

Surely the simple answer to stop the problems which are avoidable is to simply refuse to engage, any sensible person would just terminate or disable there accounts, people seem willing to continue to receiving online abuse as if it's a form of heroin/cocaine dependency, if you can't hack it don't back it. The problems would disappear overnight but I guess for some people they'd have nothing to complain about then.

I meant race baiter a person who sees racism in everything.
So, you're not racist eh, shall we look at that
1 Have you ever complained about the claim that Black students are being left behind in education, when in fact it's working class white students who are suffering most, and the universities are disproportionately represented by BAME students.
2 Have you ever complained about the curruption an racism of the ANC in South Africa
3 Have you ever acknowledged or critised any non white person or organisation for being racist
4. How do you feel about the claim that the Glen fell fire was race related
5.How do you feel about the claim that Gary Linekers tweet was racist
6.Do you think that people should be made to pay in anyway for the actions of people in the past based on their skin colour
Before you draw conclusions about me, my first wife, who I am still very close to, is black

1.) No
2.) No
3.) Yes
4.) The Grenfell fire wasn’t race related, although there is much wider discussion to be had about the failings that led to the outcome.
5.) I have no idea what tweet you’re referring to
6.) I don’t understand the question.

But no, I’m not racist and I’m not a race baiter. I don’t see racism in everything, I just see racism in racism. There’s plenty on this board and if you don’t agree I reckon you’re not being honest with yourself.

I haven’t drawn any conclusions about you so the race of your ex-wife is totally irrelevant. It seems like you’re the one baiting.
