We need more people like Katie Hopkins

yeah thats what im saying. You can talk about race, but no hate i.e. hate speech

What do you class as hate speech?

Hate speech is speech that offends, threatens, or insults groups, based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or other traits.

The proper definition

I mean we clearly need her with so many facists in our midst

Do I disagree with her on most things? Yes. Do her opinions often make me gasp? Yes.

However, she is an antidote to the crack down on "offensive" opinions which has happened in recent times with safe spaces, restrictive laws, trial by media, faux-outrage, people who have made taking offence a full-time job, etc.

Those who want to silence her have tried it all - abusing her, shunning her and even reporting her to the police, yet she continues. I disagree with pretty much everything she comes out with yet I do admire her for not cowering down and still saying what she wants to say.

Do you agree or disagree?

So you can never say anything that offends.
You can not use that definition and claim to support free speech.

You cannot have degrees of freedom of speech. If that were the case, who will decide what is OK to say and what isn't.

Hate speech is speech that offends, threatens, or insults groups, based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or other traits.

The proper definition

Hate speech is very different. The law will decide what is hate speech.

Nope it is not

this however is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_laws_in_the_United_Kingdom (all leagel sources are quoted)

A person who uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or displays any written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting, is guilty of an offence if—

(a) he intends thereby to stir up racial hatred, or(b) having regard to all the circumstances racial hatred is likely to be stirred up thereby.

(1) A person is guilty of an offence if, with intent to cause a person harassment, alarm or distress, he— (a) uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or (b) displays any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting, thereby causing that or another person harassment, alarm or distres

But note this

Nothing in this Part shall be read or given effect in a way which prohibits or restricts discussion, criticism or expressions of antipathy, dislike, ridicule, insult or abuse of particular religions or the beliefs or practices of their adherents, or of any other belief system or the beliefs or practices of its adherents, or proselytising or urging adherents of a different religion or belief system to cease practising their religion or belief system.

When looking for definition it is better to go to those who actually define them not to make up you own

It already has


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_laws_in_the_United_Kingdom

and the law clearly states

Nothing in this Part shall be read or given effect in a way which prohibits or restricts discussion, criticism or expressions of antipathy, dislike, ridicule, insult or abuse of particular religions or the beliefs or practices of their adherents, or of any other belief system or the beliefs or practices of its adherents, or proselytising or urging adherents of a different religion or belief system to cease practising their religion or belief system.

Well I just plucked the first on i saw from the internet. And if you look at my posts after you would see i addressed that fact that it wouldnt restrict discussion and only counts as hate if its intent is racial hatred.

Maybe if you read my posts you wouldnt look like such a fool right now.

I know, i said the law will decide if one is hate speech...

wtf is wrong with you, here you are agreeing with me and you still choose to try and stir up an argument.
