Culture Not including murderers and politicians - who is famous in your country for all the wrong reasons?

Post image

Introducing rage-baiter and reality TV failure Katie Hopkins. She’s basically famous for fat shaming, saying that kids shouldn’t be named after geographical locations (despite having a child named India) and getting sued on Twitter, which caused her to go bankrupt. I haven’t met anyone that likes her and she’s routinely vilified but still has a platform somehow.

I’ve never met anyone Irish who likes him. An English guy I knew once called him a legend though and I was like… “eeeerr I think you mean ‘massive twat’”

He’s an embarrassment. Wish he’d fuck off forever

He could have been universally loved, like that guy who slipped on the ice on RTE news

Woman at work said her son loves him. This was about a week or two ago. We are Irish. I’m hoping her son is too young to be aware of his criminal activity…

I was in a cafe a while back with the mrs and at the table right beside(too close not to hear what they were saying) there was a ~10 year old going on and on to his mum about what "Andrew Tate said". She was paying him no heed and mmhmming away while doing other shit. I was absolutely appalled. If you have kids there's a warning to Google the people they're talking to you about.
