  • Katie Hopkins is not going into Big Brother because of Trump

    Katie Hopkins has poured cold water on fan’s hopes that she is to appear on Celebrity Big Brother tonight.

    Katie Hopkins has joined her fellow housemate, Perez Hilton, in confirming that she’s not about to appear in tonight’s launch show of Celebrity Big Brother. Perez’s reason was money. Katie’s reason – because Donald Trump is about to “take control of the White House”.

    Taking to Twitter Katie slammed the show as a “no star” event and stated,

    “Go into no star CBB …when a 5 star President is about to take control of the White House? I don’t think so my little furry friends”

    Katie Hopkins along with Perez, Michelle Visage and Katie Price starred in the January 2015 series of CBB which made it the most talked about series of the show on Channel 5. During the show, Katie formed a close friendship with Michelle, but the pair fell out shortly after the show, with Michelle revealing that Katie stopped returning her calls.

    CBB execs apparently pleading with Perez to go back into the house, but they weren’t prepared to stump up the “double amount” fee.

  • Katie Hopkins: Acceptance is like death to LGBT

    Katie Hopkins has waded into the Richard Hammond ice cream debate suggesting acceptance is like death to the LGBT community.

    Wannabe gay icon Katie Hopkins has taken to twitter to share her views over that Grand Tour gay ice cream debacle, sparked by Richard Hammond on Amazon Prime’s flagship motoring show.

    During a discussion in front of live studio audience with his fellow presenters, Jeremy Clarkson and James May, Richard seemed to suggest that only gay men liked ice cream after saying,

    “It’s all right, I don’t eat ice cream. It’s something to do with being straight.”

    The show was first streamed on the 23rd December,

    The comment sparked outrage amongst some on social media, with many suggesting that his comments were “casual homophobia” and suggested that Amazon Prime was complicit in “normalising homophobia”.

    THEGAYUK.com reached out to Amazon for comment on these claims, but no one was available for comment.

    Well now Katie, who has in the past said it was a personal goal to become a gay icon, has put her two pence worth in… by tweeting,

    “Acceptance has now come down to ice cream. Acceptance is like death to LGBT. With it, they cease to be special”.

    Despite her wish to become a gay icon, Katie has angered many in the LGBT community about some of the controversial issues raised in 2016. She didn’t understand why the NHS should provide PrEP to gay and bisexual men, calling the decision “utterly bonkers” and she raged against the NHS having to provide medical assistance to trans people by saying that she didn’t think the NHS should fund Trans people’s “life choices”.  The controversial presenter also wasn’t a fan of the BBC’s revamped “queered up” adaptation of Midsummer Night’s Dream.

    However, earlier this year, she expressed a wish that she’d love for her 7-year-old son to grow up to be gay. She wrote in her Daily Mail column,

    “I hope my son will be gay.

    “He can dance and is proud of his six-pack at seven, which I am taking as a positive sign.

    “I play Kylie to him in the kitchen to show him the way. I hope one day when I am older, perhaps he will finally teach me how to dress with style.”

    Speaking on LBC Katie Hopkins has given her sympathy for Labour politician Keith Vaz after alleged details were leaked about his private life. She scorned the moral outrage surrounding the Labour MP after newspapers reported on alleged sex and drug allegations details surrounding the MP’s private life.

    She said,

    “Little bit of sympathy and support for Keith Vaz this morning. Little bit of a shocker to find out your whole private life has been made public…. that your hooking up with a few rent boys is out there to be seen by the world.

    “That you may have been indulging in a few things you didn’t want to.”

    “I say ‘go Keith Vaz’. He was having a party in his pants, allegedly. Don’t just sit there and knock him from your sofa your sofa and knock and go ‘tut tut tut’.

    “Remember you’ve all got skeletons in your closet, you’ve all got stuff to hide, you’ve all done dirty little things in your life.”

    “If you haven’t, you haven’t lived, you’re probably and accountant in the public sector, I pity you.  Rock on Keith Vaz.  Sorry about your wife and kids and all that, but I say ‘go you’ and keep getting that party started.  We need more people who are a bit more real.  I don’t know why politicians have to be priests.”

    Mr Vaz has now stepped down as the chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee following newspaper claims that he allegedly paid for services of two male escorts.

    In a statement he said,

    “It is in the best interest of the Home Affairs Select Committee that its important work can be conducted without any distractions whatsoever.

    “I am genuinely sorry that recent events make it impossible for this to happen if I remain chair. “

  • Katie Hopkins doesn’t think the NHS should fund Trans’ “Life Choices”

    Katie Hopkins doesn’t think the NHS should fund Trans’ “Life Choices”

    Controversial radio host and columnist Katie Hopkins has told listeners to her LBC radio show she doesn’t think that the tax payer should “pander” to trans people’s  “life choices”.

    Talk-show host and Daily Mail columnist Katie Hopkins said that the tax payer shouldn’t be funding fertility treatment for trans people and blamed a cash strapped NHS for her reasoning.

    Speaking on her weekend slot on LBC, the controversial star asked her listeners,

    “Is it OK that we are paying for these individuals and their life choices? … It don’t think it is as it goes.”

    The ex-Apprentice star said,

    “As much as I love to wave the rainbow coloured banner as much as the next individual.

    As much as I see that that’s the way the world’s going – I may need to catch up with that. I don’t agree with it.

    “I don’t think we should be paying for trans people to have their eggs frozen on the NHS.

    “If we lived in a world of endless resources…

    If money fell from the sky in a golden shower, of quite a different making… then well of course, there would be no problem with the amount of cash available but the fact is we are 2.45 billion pounds in debt with our NHS.”

    “The fact is we’ve got cataract operations being cancelled, three out of four trusts now do not perform cataract operations until the patient is perfectly blind because we don’t have the funds to approve them.

    After revealing that people are waiting extended times for their cataract operations Hopkins asked,

    “Do we really need to pander to the trans community and their whims? I say no.”

    Gender reassignment surgery and hormone treatments can often make trans people infertile or cause fertility issues.

    As a matter of routine the NHS currently offers the choice of freezing eggs so that trans people can have children at a later date.

    This same choice is offered to cancer patients and other treatments where fertility may be affected.

  • Katie Hopkins Named As Angriest Brit

    Katie Hopkins Named As Angriest Brit

    Katie Hopkins has been named the UK’s angriest person according to a poll.

    What do Nigel Farage, Katie Hopkins and Jeremy Clarkson have in common? Well according to a recent poll they are the UK’s angriest people. Katie Hopkins is so angry that Sadiq Khan became London’s mayor she’s even vowed to run naked with a sausage up her bum.

    To celebrate this week’s launch of The Angry Birds Movie (releasing May 13th), Peperami has commissioned a new poll which shows that punching your producer in the face is apparently not enough to secure the title as Britain’s angriest celebrity. TV personality Katie Hopkins has instead won this accolade.  Katie received one in five of the 2,000 votes cast (20%), although the vote was swung by women, a quarter of whom voted for her, while men narrowly favoured Jeremy Clarkson for the top spot.

    More than a decade of firings on The Apprentice secured Lord Alan Sugar third place, while Dennis Skinner MP came in fourth, having recently been removed from the House of Commons following an unseemly jibe at the Prime Minister who, himself appears in ninth place in the national poll.

    David Cameron is not, however, perceived to be the angriest of the party leaders, with Nigel Farage taking that title, appearing in sixth place with 8% of the vote. Nicola Sturgeon and Jeremy Corbyn fall outside the top ten in positions 14 and 16 respectively.

    Spokesperson for Peperami, The Animal, was enraged not to be featured in the top ten and said:

    “Who is this woman anyway? You want to see angry? I’ll show you angry…”

    The research revealed the top ten angriest celebrities and high profile individuals in Britain:

    1.       Katie Hopkins
    2.       Jeremy Clarkson
    3.       Lord Alan Sugar
    4.       Dennis Skinner MP
    5.       Jeremy Kyle
    6.       Nigel Farage
    7.       Simon Cowell
    8.       Andy Murray
    9.       David Cameron
    10.   Janet Street-Porter

    LBC radio presenter and columnist for the Daily Mail Katie Hopkins wants her 7-year-old son to be gay and writing in her column has revealed how she’s helping him to achieve it by playing Kylie to him whilst he dances.

    Although she blasted the BBC for turning an adaptation of Midsummer Night’s Dream into a PC lecture, because writer Russell T. Davies had changed some of the characters into gay characters, she still said that she hopes her son, aged 7, would grow up to be gay.

    In her column Katie managed to re-enforce several stereotypes about gay men, including listening to Kylie Minogue, being gym obsessed, and her hopes that one day he’d be able to “dress (her) with style”.

    Speaking about her son, Katie wrote,

    I hope my son will be gay.

    He can dance and is proud of his six-pack at seven, which I am taking as a positive sign.

    I play Kylie to him in the kitchen to show him the way. I hope one day when I am older, perhaps he will finally teach me how to dress with style.

    Whether Katie Hopkins is a “gay icon” is a deeply contested issue in the gay community with many believing that she is – whilst others, disagree.

    Michelle Visage told TheGayUK earlier in the year that Katie could have had the chance to become an icon after her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother and her relationship with Perez Hilton made her a popular contestant on the show, but ruined it with her divisive views.

    Recently Katie Hopkins likened her new look of shortened, cropped hair to Julian Clary.

    She had her hair cut after she underwent brain surgery to help with her epilepsy.

    Gay icon wannabe Katie Hopkins has used her Daily Mail column to blast Russell T Davies’ adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream for the BBC. In his new adaptation the Queer As Folk creator has updated the story to include same-sex partners and a lesbian kiss.

    The 90-minute film is due to air on the Bank Holiday weekend.

    Russell T. Davies who also created the BAFTA nominated Cucumber for Channel 4, was commissioned by the BBC to give A Midsummer Night’s Dream a modern twist,

    Speaking about his vision for the production Davies said,

    “…It’s 2016; that’s the world now,

    “Only idiots might have a problem with that.”

    Outlining what she assumes to be her pro-gay credentials first, Katie Hopkins said that she wanted her 7-year-old son to be gay – and often played Kylie to him “to show him the way”, but didn’t want the BBC to turn “everything into a politically correct lecture”, and warned that there are somethings you never mess with, Shakespeare being one of them.

    She continued,

    “Before the LGBT community start running for a safe space, be reassured I fully support the right of everyone to be whatever they like. Even if that is a man, dressed as a woman, who identifies as gender neutral but still fancies his mum.

    “I have performed at Gay Porn Idol, and loved every sequinned minute. I do drag well.

    “I hope my son will be gay. He can dance and is proud of his six-pack at seven, which I am taking as a positive sign. I play Kylie to him in the kitchen to show him the way. I hope one day when I am older, perhaps he will finally teach me how to dress with style.

    She blasted the BBC saying that the corporation was “pursuing a left-wing liberal agenda”.

    She continued,

    “I don’t want Shakespeare queered-up so you feel more at home. And if you’ve got a problem with that, I couldn’t give a flying Puck.”
