Katie Hopkins' view of London

[Eeyore]

It relfected that I travelled to Greenwich from either London Bridge or new cross area and alternate stops seemed to be virtually all black getting on and off followed by virtually all white and the areas looked the same and Greenwich was pretty white as well.

I understand now. Yes, I can imagine that is the case.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

So is everybody left-wing a Grauniad reader? Can't stand it myself.

On occasion, on the letters page of the Guardian, there are people who confess to being lifelong Conservative voters or Brexit supporters - shock horror.

Even their Economics Editor declared himself a Brexiter before referendum day.

And there are lefties who read the Daily Mail and the Daily Express.

Takes all sorts.

Absolutely - my wife reads The Grauniad on a Saturday and she is far from left-wing. I would consider myself left-wing but the sight of another Yotam Ottolenghi piece about peas fills me with dread

Flaming for cash??

Not these days, sadly he is just left with making shit up. Fake news isn't as exciting as flaming for cash but at least it doesn't get you banned as often.

She has been paid for her contributions, I have for some of mine. Whereas you vapid drivel would more likely illicit payment for your silence.

Yes but life is so much easier if you pigeon hole people, then you don't have to deal with reality.

Not everybody but most probably are. Guardianista - describes/parodies middle class left/liberals and their perceived liberal agenda.
Seen as living in places like islington, stereotypically wear sandals, eat muesli, and have beards.

I don't mind it as it's useful to know what the enemy are thinking.

You don't think some of these traits are rooted about thirty years ago? Lots of people eat muesli now, I believe. I do, most mornings. I have no beard though Maybe it's easier to group people together under a label though, rather thank think of them as individuals?

You surely don't subscribe to that nonsense do you?

35 years ago when I worked briefly for a publisher, my line manager could not get his head around the fact I was a donkey jacket wearing son of toil who read the Daily Mirror, on the one hand, yet every other Thursday I could be found at lunch, tittering over Bron Waugh's column in Private Eye. The fallacy of pidgeon holing . . . not even pidgeons live in holes these days

Yotam is there. Constantly there. I've tried about two of his recipes and they're delicious and I repeat them, but that's two out of about two thousand that I've been exposed to, and most of them I look at and think, yup, sounds great but really, I don't quite have the time.

PS I hate liberals, but not quite as much as your lot. So what precisely is it that I'm thinking. I wear sandals occasionally in the summer, eat muesli about four or five times a year, live in Brighton, have a bit of stubble at the mo but will shear it off before it becomes anything remotely like I'm a wannabe terrorist, and am extremely tiddly at present. Again, what is it that I'm thinking?

Yup. Tribalism is taking EVERYONE down the drain. Red vs. Blues. Them vs. Us. Winning points at PMQs. It's ****ing playground stuff, embarrassing.

 

[ringmerseagulltoo]

"This is from today's Daily Mail."

That surely is the problem. Why is anyone reading it in the first place?

Don't read it, don't get wound up by all of their obnoxious point scoring.

That would be what you spout, about my post being hatefull. Bad taste or edgy but not hatefull, that would be your motives for posting here.

Oh and is this you trying to be ironic?

"Yes but life is so much easier if you pigeon hole people, then you don't have to deal with reality. "

Being a bit of a sensitive snowflake here, again. Or can you explain what is wrong with combative terms which you use easily.

It was meant humorously Perhaps I should have added a

Also attributed to some Guardianista/middle class left/liberals types. ... lacking humour/ keen to take offence.

You can't stereotype individuals FFS!

And whatever ANY of us may claim, we are ALL guilty of stereotyping.

In my view John Harris nails the whole alt-right response (in which Hopkins plays a starring role):

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/mar/24/britain-alt-right-populists

None of this, incidentally, is intended to suggest that what happened on Wednesday, or on 7 July 2005, or any of the cases in which the security services have frustrated terror plots, are not frightening beyond words, or that Islamist extremism is not an evil that has to be confronted, again and again...but the actions of a lone murderer do not say anything about religious communities that comprise millions of people; whatever its tensions, Britain is really not a hair’s breadth away from some giant social meltdown.

Ha,
I wonder where John Harris grew up? where he lives now? where his kids go to school? maybe private medical insurance too? I wonder?
