If road usage halves, so must the budget. And vice versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalpuppet Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The couple of YouTube videos and now the Energy FM interview show Katie Hopkins as an interesting character. Utter gobshite by all accounts but not the raving mad racist bigot I remember when she was on social media. She seems to like the Island.

Perhaps she’ll move here she certainly seemed to like the fact that we weren’t in the EU even before Brexit. The backlash seems to have mainly been two Douglas Councillors and a few MLP members being fairly silly on Twitter suggesting that she should not be allowed to perform at the Legion (which one of the councilors then seemed to forget that they actually own). The usual cancel culture type stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The backlash consisted of two knob heads standing outside in the pouring rain so rather an anti climax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 So, to summarise, a lot of people are upset that she was allowed to appear because they thought that she had been 'cancelled,' so two of them turned up to protest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Thinking about it they did not have a placard protesting so perhaps they were after her autograph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cueey Lewis And The News Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, HeliX said: No According to her a clear yes. She’s just done a full interview with Energy FM: https://fb.watch/n7BzvYORl0/ Around 8.30 in on the above Devon Watson “Looks like a man who still lives in his mum’s spare room surrounded by tissues” and Andrew Bentley “Looks like a human thumb” 😂 She then says that as councilors they put pressure on the woman who runs the Legion to have grants removed if they hosted Hopkins and generally have been very nasty indeed behind the scenes trying to get her cancelled. Two clear free speech ambassadors who obviously only believe in their own free speech. She ends by saying next time she comes she’ll do a campaign to “Get arseholes like Devon Watson off the Isle of Man” What a great use of Council time bullying a woman who runs a local venue owned by DBC to try to get someone they don’t like de platformed.
