She seems nice
She doesn’t go far enough in my opinion. Check out what’s happening in California!

Surely this is incitement to hatred?
…incitement to hate her.
No it religious freedom.
Its ok to discriminate if you’ve cleared it with the cloud guy.
Does he use Microsofts Sky Drive then?
When you’re an omniscient being you don’t need to google shit
lmgtfy?
As they would say in the Nort, Azure!!!
Is Katie Hopkins feeling jealous yet? Or do they plan on pairing up to make a superoffensive, civilisation-fighting team?
Such depression that she thinks she has the ‘truth’. Enlighten yourself woman, I wanted to actually hear her source for her insane 40 times more likely to abuse children stat. And Duke University is a fleshed out Iona Institute situation. Christian mentaller money churning out “facts” and “research” to pander and fuel ignorance.
Yep, 40, not 39 or 41 but exactly forty.
Must have got it from “the man in the pub” handbook.
40 is a magic number found in the Bible…
– 146 mentions in scripture
– 40 generally symbolizes a period of testing, trial or probation
– Moses lived for 40yrs in Egypt
– Moses spent 40yrs in the desert
– Moses was on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights, on two separate occasions (Exodus 24:18, 34:1 – 28)
– Moses sent spies, for 40 days, to investigate the land God promised the Israelites as an inheritance (Numbers 13:25, 14:34).
– Jonah warned ancient Nineveh, for 40 days, that its destruction would come because of its many sins.
– Ezekiel laid on His right side for 40 days to symbolize Judah’s sins (Ezekiel 4:6)
– Elijah went 40 days without food or water at Mount Horeb.
– Jesus was tempted by the devil during the 40 days and nights he fasted
– Jesus appeared to his disciples and others for 40 days after his resurrection from the dead.
– The Israelites wandered the wilderness for 40 years before a new generation was allowed to possess the promised land
– Jesus, just days before his crucifixion, prophesied the total destruction of Jerusalem (Matthew 24:1 – 2, Mark 13:1 – 2). 40 years after his crucifixion in 30 A.D., the mighty Roman Empire destroyed the city and burned its beloved temple to the ground
– 40 can also represent a generation of man
So…. her use of 40 is likely arbitrary but also likely pulled from her warped subconscious from ingesting too much Bible bullsh*t.
More here… if you could be ar*ed :)

I’m not. Thanks all the same.
You don’t gnomee.
This comment is outstanding
this made Gnomee smile.
And to think people say he has a heart of stone.
Not sure we should be paying any attention at all to this kind of thing. It’s not even novel or amusing.
Oh yeah?
“She stood for election to the local council in the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council election, 2014 and got 67 votes.”
And just how many votes have you got, Mister/Missus?
Has she considered the benefits of radical islam ? Might suit her better.
She is actually anti-Islam, anti-feminism, pro-criminalisation of homosexuality, blames working women for the economic problems and…. well, she is the ultimate bigot and has 67 votes from the last election to justify her standing.
she got 97 I believe.
i stand corrected – the indo I thin said 97 but all the northern local papers say 67. Apologies
Northern Ireland is a poohole.
-6
I was heartened to see that basically everyone in the crowd disagreed with her.
The same at the meeting where Jim Wells made his comments.
bit harsh on NI given crowd clearly disagreed with her
“The heart of man is depraved ” there’s no hope after that
Yep, that line caught me too, the whole ‘original sin’ and you’re all ‘damned’ bullcrap!
She’d be funny if people didn’t take her seriously, but sadly some do.
Fortunately, only 67 do, or 97, or something.
that was probably the one thing she was right about
I’m with donkey kong on that. That’s literally the only factual thing she said.
Jaysus I wouldn’t get out of bed in the morning if I believed that. Could we not go with the hearts of indoctrinated bigoted haters with way too much time on their hands are depraved?
If the man in bed next to me was depraved, I probably wouldn’t get out of bed either ;)
Fair enough ;)
The face palm of the dude beside her in the picture…..says it all really….
Parts of Northern Ireland seem like Ireland’s version of deep South-hicks ville USA…
How come homophobes are given a platform in order to spread their hateful views?
We wouldn’t give this platform to racists, the KKK, or men who hate women would we?
So why is it often claimed that when someone expresses homophobic views it’s their democratic right to have an opinion, but when others express similar prejudices against other vulnerable minorities they are driven off their platforms, or not given a platform in the first place?..
There are people in the ‘Republic’ just as bad, that’s not an excuse to brand parts of the republic ‘hicksville’
Susan-Anne White is in no way an accurate representative of the people of West Tyrone (67 votes last time out)
Everyone standing for election in West Tyrone was invited to attend and she accepted the invite. This is democracy. A number of the others invited have different kinds of prejudices that some people find acceptable.
+1
She’s a goon, but she is standing for election; the electorate have a right to know how nutty her views are.
Vast tracts of the Republic are Hicksville. Lowry, Mattie McGrath, Healy Rae and their ilk are the living proof.
+ South County Dublin
( Hanafin)
+ Ranelagh
(Creighton)
Yes, I agree- some of the south is also full of ignorant, homophobic, bible bashing idiots, but what I meant was- they seem to be given more platform up North. It’s just an observation, I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. Anyhow- keep your knickers on folks..
No – you keep YOUR knickers on dude. Don’t be encouraging them!
Many Christians from Northern Ireland settled in America’s Bible Belt during the nineteenth century. Baptists and Presbyterians (who were not considered part of the Reformed Church) were considered outsiders for a long time up in Norn Iron. It was only in the later nineteenth century when Presbyterians had more freedom.
Deep south Dixie was an attractive proposition for many of them. It’s no mistake that there are similarities. And there are places in the Republic, mainly near the border and in parts of Tipp, Cork and Waterford where small Christian groups thrived.
Add to that, that there is a very strong tradition of evangelical Christianity ( ie Nutjob Christianity’ / Literal Bible believers ) up in Northern Ireland. I frequent the place and am always quite amused by the many ‘mini’ churches up there.
Tax ’em all, I say. That’ll end the nonsense.
“There is a very strong tradition of evangelical Christianity ( ie Nutjob Christianity’ / Literal Bible believers ) up in Northern Ireland. I frequent the place and am always quite amused by the many ‘mini’ churches up there. “…
That’s exactly the demographic I was referring to. There seems to be more of these right wing religious christian fundamentalists up North, and if there’s not more of them- the ones that do exist seem to be given platforms to express their hateful views. We do have them down South, but they don’t seem to be as visible, or as political. Furthermore, their views seem to be viewed as acceptable prejudice (whatever that is) by some..
What have I done…..
If I could start again
A million miles away
I will keep myself
I would find a way
And then she died, after wasting her entire deluded life on bile and hatred.
Ha.
what a piece fine piece of inbred bigot poo, hopefully a slow agonising and humiliating sickness is just around the bend for her.
Wouldn’t wish that on anyone really. Better if someone really close to her, someone she loves and respects, is gay but hasn’t told her yet.
‘Touched’ by Jesus is as far as she’s got.
how dare she say who Dolemite can marry, hack of her in her carpet jacket.
She’s really working hard on that 68th vote
Closet lesbian.
I don’t like her!
I really feel that it’ll get to the stage where a crowd listening to this stuff will actually stay silent and utterly ignore what was said, like when there’s a mentally ill person shouting on the bus. the host would simply say, ‘thanks for your contribution, now, some real input’. Imagine her shock at being totally ignored.
reminds me of yer wan from the mist.
