Katie Hopkins’ upcoming ‘comedy show’ in Moray town of Lossiemouth provokes strong opinions
Katie Hopkins has made a career for herself by voicing strong opinions – and being the subject of them.
More than 300 people have commented since we posted an article online, stating the controversial media personality had sold out a venue in Lossiemouth for what’s billed as a ‘comedy show’.
Joseph Marr commented: “She is a ‘comedian’ right enough, but not a funny one.”
However, Ally Mackintosh came to Hopkins’ defence, stating: “No problem with her. She is entitled to her views and opinions but I guess the tolerant lefties will want her banned.”
The 49-year-old first came to national prominence in 2006 when she appeared on The Apprentice. She has since gone on to attract controversy numerous times for various things she has written in newspaper columns or stated online.
Malcolm Smith said: “Certainly not my cup of tea but she's entitled to an opinion. Freedom of speech and all that.”
Sue Radley stated: “I think she’ll be brilliant. If you like her go if you don’t then don’t go. Simple as.
But Martin Sherrit had a different opinion. He said: “Everyone just laughs at her anyway.”
Imke Henderson wrote: “We are a democratic and free society at the moment. She has her right to her opinion in the same way you have your right to disagree with it.”
James Smith wasn’t happy. He said: “Amazing that so many people seem to be happily outing themselves as racist knuckle-draggers.”
Matt Anderson didn’t hold back either, commenting: “She's full of bitterness and anger and has found a way to harness her Daily Mail-fuelled diatribes to earn herself money and a plush lifestyle on the back of misery to others.”
Hopkins will be appearing at the Comrades Club on Thursday, October 10.
Yvonne Bruce asked: “What did Lossie do to deserve this?”
Katyanne Louise Mackenzie added: “Lossiemouth is closed on that day.”
Meanwhile, Andy Macdonald, the concert promoter, joked: “If she could sing we would have her at MacMoray.”
Malcolm Clarke labelled Hopkins “a grifting outrage merchant”
Neil Sandison wrote: “She speaks her mind and says what people are thinking but to scared to say. Bring it on I say. If you don’t want to see her don’t buy a ticket.”
However David Cowie said: “If the easily-led want to waste their money that's up to them.”
