Where Is Katie Hopkins Now In 2022?
Katie Hopkins is currently supporting the campaign, ‘Let Katie come to Bedford Corn Exchange’ after her show was canceled.
Bedford Borough Council canceled Hopkins’ upcoming performance at the Bedford Corn Exchange. The action was taken after a petition calling for the show’s cancellation received 50 signatures in just 24 hours.
Bedford Independent reported that the stated, her performance in Bedford is an insult to its population. “Bedford Corn Exchange should be asked to remove her from the bill to reflect how dearly we hold our values.”
Former BBC The Apprentice contestant Hopkins has developed a reputation as a contentious media commentator, divisive broadcaster, and writer.
BBC reported, Ms. Hopkins first captured the public’s interest in 2006 while competing on The Apprentice. Ms. Hopkins was banned from Twitter in 2020 for breaking its rules against hate speech with millions of followers.
The council, which oversees the site, released a statement in which it expressed its pride in the community’s diverse population. And they desire to encourage and aid one another in thriving.
However, they had to cancel the show because they felt Hopkins’ actions did not advance their goal.
The unitary council is led by the directly-elected mayor of the Liberal Democrats, however, it is not in a control of a single party.
The Katie Hopkins Live performance was scheduled to occur in 2023. The Bedford Corn Exchange website’s listing for the performance has since been taken down.
Although some Bedford residents are shocked by Bedford’s decision to cancel her event and support her on Instagram.
Let Katie Hopkins Come to The Bedford Corn Exchange Campaign
The campaign is organized by Edward Ruggiero. He started a petition to bring Katie to Bedford on the 38 Degrees website whose link is available on Kati’s Instagram bio.
The petition asked the Bedford Borough Council working in conjunction with the Corn Exchange to reinstate her show.
It also states that if Bedford truly supports the diverse population it should allow all facets of our rich culture to be heard and seen, and by letting the community draw its own conclusions.
No council should be permitted to restrict the freedom of speech of a single individual due to disagreements in opinion or online petitions.
Seven hours prior, 1,000 signatures were already collected, and the number is still rising.
She is asking all of her Instagram followers to sign the petition and share it with their friends.
