It's a percentage of those socio-economic groups for the whole of LBC. Not for KH show. Do you understand the difference?

Yes thanks, do you?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's what she believes, but you'd have to be rabidly anti Hopkins to the point of irrationality to read that message into that one tweet.

Exactly this.

Corbyn supports the IRA and all other terrorist scum.

KH is a bit out of order with her choice of phrase and is hung out to dry.

Methinks something is amiss here.

Nothing is 'amiss'. The commercial station made a commercial decision.

Yeah, just the IRA that are his favourites. Friends in Hamas and Hezbollah a close second and third. There's probably a terrorist group somewhere he hasn't heard of to show support to.

So your call re JOB? And your occupation? Sounds a BS job frankly.

Did you need an edit for that?

I.e. Hatie wants to apply the mass gassing of Jews by the Nazis to our current problems with Islamic terrorists. It sounds like she is demonising all muslims.

Impeccable logic. No wait, I mean laughable.

I'd like to see a massive clampdown on the scummy little bike thieves that ride around on stolen scooters. According to your sentiments that means I actually want to see everyone riding a scooter prosecuted.

For some reason you fail to grasp the implications of the phrase "final solution"

The nazis didn't just persecute the individual Jews who they blamed for the woes of 1930s Germany, did they?

They persecuted the whole lot, every Jew.

Hatie Kopkins is clearly taking a "kick them all out" Tommy Robinson line here.

Mr2Mike must have struggled understanding Hopkin's embedded message. Best we can do is forgive him and offer to send him some history books perhaps?

There is no doubt at all what she was implying.

Isn't there?

///ajd said:

Where/when did she say that?

///ajd said:

Ah, so she didn't actually say that then?

Righto.

I'm not sure she cares if they are gassed, or wiped off the face of the planet by other means. Anyway, do you have a problem with the mass extermination of Islamic terrorists?

'Hopkins’ tweet, made in the hours after the explosion at Manchester Arena, said: “22 dead – number rising. Schofield. Don’t you even dare. Do not be a part of the problem. We need a final solution Machester [sic].”'

Why did she use the term final, solution would have been enough? The connotation of final solution is set in stone, it has no other meaning, yet you are arguing it has, which is totally clodpole.

Her "embedded" message?

[garagewidow]

TwigtheWonderkid said:

I can't stand the bint, but she wasn't calling for a final solution re Muslims in general, but Islamic terrorists in particular. That would be my understanding of her tweet.

And if so, what's the problem? She's calling for the extermination of Islamic terrorists, which as they are, to use another controversial Nazi reference, vermin, then so what?

Anyone got an issue with wiping IS and their ilk off the face of the planet?

this is what I was implying.

Bit like Andrew Marrs "white solution" message perhaps?

You are quite right. She is calling for the extermination of Islamic Terrorists. That's the subject in discussion. So I ask again, who has an issue with that?

She may well want a final solution for all Muslims, I wouldn't be at all surprised, but she didn't say that.

We shouldn't be putting words into people's mouths, even if we don't like them.

Except that Katie Hopkins has always taken very broad fire at the Muslim population and Islam. So it's not too difficult to draw a connection (an implicit if not explicit) to her comments being against the wider Muslim population and not just the extremist terrorists.

She isn't facing criminal charges for this, because she's intelligent enough to know what she can and cannot get away with. She's also intelligent enough to know the significance of "final solution".

I suspect she used this as a stepping stone to an American gig. She appeals to a certain demographic over there.

Twig. Yet another PH'er who likes to be confrontational and noticed with their overt right wing opinions.

I've read and re-read her tweet; I cannot see, in any capacity, her calling only for the death of Islamic Terrorists. The fact the tweet was then corrected supports her underlying meaning.

Hopkin's comments cannot be defended; other than by people who have led a comfy civilian life in the UK (we could profile them further by where they live, the papers they read, but i won't) who have no idea how comments such as hers raise the risk to people who have titanium balls putting their lives on the line every day working to keep us safe from people who wish us harm.

You see what you want to see.

[vonuber]

You would not use the term 'final solution' without knowing what it meant. 'A solution' maybe, or 'different solution'.
It's a very deliberate choice of words.
