I just hope that Britain can see her game, but i do love watching her go at it with perez and he does give her a run for her money. Just arks me when people cheer giving her impression that her adoring public love her..but then she could become over confident and **** it up. Thats the beauty of BB you never know what turn it will take.

Well, JK has sure done a number on you, the intellectually challenged and mentally ill used to simply be called people.
He is appealing to those who like to categorise into sub groups.

I don't need a "chance" to do anything, thanks. Katie is being careful to get the public on side in the house, as seen with her nauseating "I love the public" display. Not that her nasty self doesn't slip out now and again (a video posted today of her pulling faces as soon as Keith speaks, and then insulting him before storming off, for example).

Just like fish. HOOK, LINE AND SINKER

I don't care what Biggins says, and I don't care if it's a "media persona". The things she says a no less awful because they're part of an "act" (though I still don't believe they are, and nothing her "friends" say will change that).

And so what if she "has a family?" Plenty of nasty people do. What's your point?

And we're discussing all of the housemates, are we not? Are we supposed to not discuss any negative traits of KH, or risk being mocked for it?

I've fallen for nothing "hook, line and sinker". This is a BB forum where we discuss the housemates, one of which is Katie Hopkins. It's really as simple as that.

So cannot back up your argument with proof.

She won't win anyway. Katie Price will. they didn't pay her the highest fee for nothing. next week twist is all about her and will get her a lot of votes.

I already "backed up my argument with proof", considering I was specifically referring to her pre-BB rants anyway. You only decided that we were discussing KH in the house only afterwards.

Her twitter rants are proof of the type of person she is. The fact that she bites her tongue a little bit more in the CBB house changes nothing about that (not that I think she's been an unfailingly nice person in the house, because she most definitely has not).

Drawn in just like a fish. HOOK, LINE AND SINKER

ooh i dont know about that, I think she is naturally mean like that but she does have a good side and im sure friends and people she does admire would find her lovely. Either way she is entertaining to watch but we should we really back her to win? I say no because not everyone can handle sticks and stones and for many it can cause serious hurt and insecurity. She has hurt many with her words and a real lovely person would rather be poor than say and act the way she does for money.

I agree 100% with this.

Also the truth often hurts. All credit to Katie Hopkins for not being a sheep i say!

[Deebo]

There is no truth and no integrity to Hopkins in the house or her fake character. That's why she's routinely taken apart by the likes of Peaches Geldof and Katie Price

She peddles an extremist neocon agenda, because she's paid to by Rupert Murdoch, but she's barely politically literate enough to have researched and studied enough to give her tweets, rants and diatribes any element of "truth" whatsoever

She speaks the "truth" like Alf Garnett spoke the "truth"

But honestly the point of my OP wasn't for people to explain why they like Katie Hopkins again, it was asking if she's only 'speaking the truth' why are none of those truths ever nice, or not even nice but just not nasty?

Because she does'nt want to be seen as a 'nice' person.I think quietly she's nicer than she tries to portray.

[Robodog]

On one hand she peddles this OTT 'thorn-in-the-side of the PC brigade' persona that drops all manner of clangers about people being 'too fat', 'too ginger' etc etc.

On the other hand, it seems that lots of people are saying 'she is actually really nice and funny'.

Who is she really? Maybe she is a bit of both?

Either way, even if she really is as bad as she sometimes makes out, then i would still defend her (and everyone's) right to offend me, or to be as offensive as they want to be.

Freedom of speech means the right to express opinions, even if they do offend others. Look at the countries or the regimes that take away that right. Do you want to live like that?

For all her faults, that is the appeal of Katie Hopkins; she doesn't bow down and surrender her right to express unpopular opinions, just because the media etc says 'that's what we should do'. Lots of people (including her) talk a lot of sh-t, but i would never want to have their right to talk sh-t taken away or we are all up sh-t creek.

Je Suis Charlie and all that.

So my question is, why then is her just 'speaking the truth' always nasty, malicious, horrible and never a nice truth, never does she say something useful, endearing etc and claim it's just the truth?

Also when anyone tells her the truth (as they see it) her face goes pretty flushed because she can't take back what she gives out, but thats another thread.

Opinions

I have always heard her say she speaks opinions and not truth and thats beause a lot of what she says is ill informed and incorrect. she may speak stuff that a lot of people agree with but that does not equal truth. anyone who thinks she speaks "truth" because she says what they think is a full of **** as she is (and there's your harsh opinion for those who love that)
