    Katie UKIPpers

    “Gaunt” looking Katie Hopkins joins UKIP in time for its next (of many) leadership contests and is “spotted lurking” in Washington in spite of unsurprisingly being ‘NFI’d’ to Joe Biden’s inauguration

    “Permanently suspended” from Twitter but astonishingly still allowed on Instagram (where she presents herself as “The Biggest Bitch in Britain”) Katie Hopkins was unsurprisingly ‘Not F**king Invited’ to Joe Biden’s inauguration. She decided to turn up to “lurk” anyway.

     

    Subsequently, in a video rant yesterday, one-time “shagger-of-someone-else’s-husband-in-a-field” Hopkins declared that she’d run into Emily Maitlis in Washington and blabbered on about how the BBC presenter was a hypocrite for traveling there. She neglected, however, to explain why her own presence was necessary and yet again just made a total berk of her not-so-sorry self.

     

    Continuing elsewhere, the political party that is more widely considered nothing but a train wreck that is UKIP last week tweeted that it is still “alive and kicking as Britain’s voice of common sense.” With this post, the ragbag of racists shared an image of a megaphone and Katie Hopkins and added: “We are pleased to welcome Katie Hopkins to UKIP!” Now there’s one welcome bash nobody in their right mind will have a desire to break lockdown to attend.

     

    Some of Katie Hopkins’ most outrageous moments:

     

    On people with dementia:

    “Dementia sufferers should not be blocking beds. What is the point of life when you no longer know you are living it?”

     

    On Ramadan:

    “Ramadan typically brings a spike in violence in Middle East. I get grumpy when I don’t eat – but I don’t blow things up. Religion of peace?”

     

    On ginger haired children:

    “Ginger babies. Like a baby. Just so much harder to love.”

     

    On ‘Highgella’ Nigella Lawson:

    “A self-confessed drug-taker, spendthrift, and a self-obsessed flirt determined to show other women they were imperfect.”

     

    On tourists stranded in Egypt after the bombing of a Russian airplane:

    “I think if you are going to take your children out from school, which is ridiculous in itself, stick them in a destination that is dangerous, don’t be complaining on my television that you’ve been delayed at the airport, don’t be complaining that you don’t have any information, and don’t be coming back acting like you are a refugee from a war-torn country.”

     

    On Jewish politician Ed Miliband’s wife:

    “Pollsters say Justine [Miliband] is the least popular of the party wives. He might stick her head in the oven and turn on the gas.”

     

    On refugees:

    “Make no mistake, these migrants are like cockroaches. They might look a bit ‘Bob Geldof’s Ethiopia circa 1984,’ but they are built to survive a nuclear bomb. They are survivors.”

     

    On obesity:

    “I don’t really like fat people… Would I employ you if you were obese? No, I would not… If you are obese, you look lazy.”

     

    On suicidal prisoners:

    “They should just kill themselves.”

     

    Katie UKIPpers – Is Katie Hopkins looking to become UKIP leader in 2021? “Gaunt” looking Katie Hopkins joins UKIP in time for its next (of many) leadership contests and is “spotted lurking” in Washington in spite of unsurprisingly being ‘NFI’d’ to Joe Biden’s inauguration.
    UKIP, currently with ex-Conservative MP Neil Hamilton as its “interim party leader,” has had 13 leaders and acting leaders since 2010. From October 2019 until April 2020, “prized pillock” Pat Mountain was in charge and she was followed by an Indian businessman “who once listed Nazi Germany as a hobby on his CV” named Freddy Vachha. He was suspended from the party in September 2020 (though “maintains he is still the leader”) and, for now, Pat Mountain is “serving” as UKIP’s “abuse and exploitation spokeswoman” in spite of most likely not have the foggiest what that quite means.
    Katie UKIPpers – Last year, Hopkins was flown to Prague and given a spoof award for being the ‘C*NT of the Year.’ In accepting it, she proved that she is anything but as bright as a button and now news that she’s considering standing to become UKIP leader will be met with nothing but laughter. Of the possibility, she remarked: “People always ask me when am I going to get into politics, when am I going to do something smarter than just gob off on social media. But I do see that the time for just being on social media and just having opinions is wearing thin and is probably time for somebody like myself, who is at the pointy end of the spear most of the time, to make more of a formalised stand.”
    Katie UKIPpers – On Thursday, Katie Hopkins took to Instagram to berate Emily Maitlis for being in Washington for Joe Biden’s inauguration in spite of hypocritically being there herself also. Here, in this YouTube video, ‘MoJo’ share ten examples where this rhinoceros skinned ratbag previously made a prat of herself.
  • Moron of the Moment 2021 – Stephen Bear

    Moron of the Moment 2021 – Stephen Bear

    Shameless scumbag sex pest and dog abuser Stephen Bear yet again proves himself to be the finest example of all that is wrong in once Great Britain

    Tattooed twerp Stephen Bear personifies all that is wrong about once Great Britain.

     

    Aside from unsurprisingly being mocked for his “grotesque” inkings – with one that ridiculously reads: “Be The Best” and another “on his hand that he can put over his or another person’s face so it looks like they are half flesh, half skull” – this nasty nitwit got double coverage in The Sun today with features titled “Bear Don’t Care” and  “Stephen Bear is the poster boy for elevating reality TV scumbags to apparent stardom.”

     

    Currently facing charges after being arrested for disgustingly covertly recording himself having sex with Love Island’s Georgia Harrison, this “small-fry star” and “clear wrong-un” (whose “official calendar” was nearly as unpopular as Sir Cliff Richard’s) was pictured breaking quarantine rules after claiming “rules don’t apply to me” in an article by Stephanie Soteriou.

     

    Prone to wearing garments that feature nasty notes such as: “Bitch better have my money,” brain dead Bear – a maskless man plainly “prepared for warmer climates as he donned a pair of sunglasses” as he paid for petrol at a Morrisons – tediously told the paper: “I am God… I have super human powers and I am part of the Illuminati.”

     

    Bear, unsurprisingly, is a moron and he’s got previous. In March 2018, burger brand Rustlers issued a statement describing why they’d chosen to end their ‘relationship’ with him. It read:

     

    “Last month we chose to cancel a campaign featuring Stephen Bear after several unsuitable images of Stephen feeding tigers at a temple in Thailand appeared on social media last month. He has been paid appropriately under the terms of our cancelled agreement with him, and no other payment is due.”

     

    In May 2018, Bear was also slammed after allegedly causing the death of a puppy by causing it to become infected by taking it around without injections. Of this incident, an Instagram user named Asher Lloyd remarked:

     

    “You are a f**king disgrace and I hope you are never, ever, EVER allowed another animal in your company. You did not deserve a dog, you were using him as a prop for Instagram from the moment you got him… And you think having his name tattooed on your neck makes you owner of the year?”

     

    Wastrel wazzock Stephen Bear’s ‘finest’ quotes:

     

    On why he shouldn’t have to pay attention to lockdown rules:

     

    “I am God. Rules do not apply to me. I have super human powers and I am part of the Illuminati.”

     

    “Everyone else should stay at home and not go M&S and buy some food. They should sit at home and starve.”

     

    About those he “claimed” owed him money:

     

    “Yeah, so this one’s called the Monday rant. I’m owed a lot of money from three different people. First one is Rustlers, where’s my £3,000 you owe me? It’s been five months.”

     

    “Second one, Good For Nothing, you owe me 16 grand, my contract isn’t finished until April, you owe me £16,000. Where is it?”

     

    “And the third one is for you Charlotte, listen, reply back to the emails. I haven’t received 1p from the business which I started with my money. Okay?”

                          

    “Tell your dad to reply to the f**king emails, do you understand? Make sure he gets back to him because what’s going on at the minute is b******s and it’s embarrassing.

     

    “Do you understand? Because I’ve had enough now. That’s the Monday rant over, I want all my f**king money from all three of you, do you understand?”

     

    To a group of females on Celebs Go Dating:

     

    “I’m here to find someone new… Are all your minges shaved? I’m just saying, clean nails, clean minges.”

     

    On being arrested for “on suspicion of disclosing private sexual photographs or films without consent with intent to cause distress, harassment, and obstructing a police officer”:

     

    “Where do I f**king start? I’m back from Dubai and I’ve actually got a criminal case of my head.”

     

    “While I was in the police cell they have gone into my house, smashed open the door. I’ve had to get everything fixed – they’ve busted my front gate too.”

     

    “Obstructing a police officer. What do you reckon I did? Do you reckon I got in his way? I think voyeurism because I’ve been to Dubai and I’ve gone on a voyage.”

  • Hippo Harridan 2021 – Larysa Switlyk

    Hippo Harridan 2021 – Larysa Switlyk

    Not content with butchering bears, barbarian bitch Larysa Switlyk has headed to Africa to harm hippos; this harridan must be stopped and banned from bragging about such on Instagram also

    After slaughtering a hippopotamus in Zambia in recent days, Larysa Switlyk took to Instagram to share an image of herself with the poor, deceased creature. Of it, she declared: “Here’s a closer look at the hippo’s tusks! I’m extremely blessed to live the life I live, but it definitely doesn’t come without hard work!”

     

    Quite what “hard work” is involved in deciding to take the life of a majestic mostly herbivorous mammal will puzzle anyone with half a brain, but, in the case of the shover-of-sex-toys-up-the-bums-of-dead-sheep Switlyk, even Einstein would struggle to piece together her complete lack of logic. Here is someone who kills for the pleasure of taking home a trophy and a snap for her Instagram followers and utterly nothing else.

     

    Whilst her deranged followers congratulated her and discussed how they were “curious” to eat hippo meat, self-declared “I’m not pretending I’m not a trophy hunter, but trophy hunting is good” Switlyk confirmed the slaughtered beast to be “good table fare.” She also reported she “had to get a tractor” to “drag” the poor beast out of the water.

     

    Going further, this sadistic slayer of bears justified her latest barbaric actions by bragging: “I shot a hippo and fed a village… All the people were extremely appreciative and celebrated my successful hippo hunt.” She then had a pop at her critics and remarked:

     

    “Maybe for 2021, I can post photos without an explanation and people will become nicer on social media…. What you think? If you don’t like what I post on my page, please don’t follow me. I won’t miss you.”

     

    Instead, we say: “This year, this wicked woman must be stopped. She glorifies slaughter-for-slaughter’s-sake and that that she considers shoving sex toys into dead animals acceptable sums her up as a monster. Instagram should not allow her to continue to share her vile and utterly offensive posts and now they’ve banned Donald Trump, it’s finally time to rid a social media site used by both adults and children of his philistine supporter Larysa Switlyk too.”

     

    If you haven’t already, please sign our Change.org petition to get blue-ticked bitch Larysa Switlyk banned from Instagram by clicking here. It has attracted over 14,000 signatures to date and it is now time that this social media giant took action.

    In May 2014, a man died in Embu after eating hippo meat. If Larysa Switlyk met the same fate given her actions, it would serve her right.
  • Bear Slaying Barbarian Tries Going Global

    Bear Slaying Barbarian Tries Going Global

    Larysa Switlyk’s attempt to go global with a new website sharing imagery of her slaying bears and zebras is proof that this woman is nothing but an international menace and monster

    Zebra and black bear slaying barbarian Larysa Switlyk has a new website titled ‘Unleashed Global Adventures.’ On it she fails to spell “copyright” correctly (she misspells it “copywrite”), but that’s by far the best thing about this promotion of what she shamelessly states to be: “It’s a way of life pursuit network.”

     

    On the site, sheep slaughtering sex-toy-up-the-bum-shover Switlyk proudly boasts of her “vast hunting resume” and her ability to help those who pay her take their “trophies home.” This prized cow sickly subsequently refers to what she curiously calls a “travel hunt” as “an investment” and even offers her “content creation services” and “social media management” of such as if she was selling children’s toys.

     

    “Ladies hunting retreats” also feature on ‘Unleashed Global Adventures’ website and in a 2:53-minute video promoting such, Switlyk appears alongside a number of fellow female fleabags. The monsters are seen high fiving after slaughtering animals for nothing but depraved amusement and plainly have no respect for their innocent targets.

     

    Elsewhere, our Change.org petition to get the “blue ticked bitch” Larysa Switlyk and her foul images banned from Instagram is continuing to attract much interest. It recently featured amongst their “most popular” petitions and many signing have left comments also.

     

    Please join the 13,500 people who’ve already signed the petition by clicking here and please share it as widely as possible on social media. It’s continued growth will no doubt delight Switlyk no end and in the end, Instagram will have to listen.

  • Trump’s Jaguar Wall

    Trump’s Jaguar Wall

    As the ‘Guardian’ reveals Donald Trump’s border wall construction is threatening the survival of jaguars in the US, our petition to get his endangered animal slaying supporter Larysa Switlyk banned from Instagram tops 13,000 signatures

    This morning, the Guardian reported that the North American jaguar – which was hunted to extinction in the southern US borderland in the 1960s, but remarkably reappeared in the 1990s in Arizona – is again shockingly likely to be wiped out.

     

    The cause? According to the paper, Donald Trump’s border wall barrier has “severed wildlife corridors and fragmented crucial habitats for numerous endangered and threatened animals, including the wide-ranging jaguar.”

     

    Speaking of this, Myles Traphagen, the borderlands program coordinator for Wildlands Network, remarked: ““If all contracts are complete [for Donald Trump’s wall], 93% [of jaguar territory] will be blocked and walled off.”

     

    Aside from all else in Trump’s shameful legacy, his decision to overlook the harm to jaguars is sadly not surprising given his elephant slaying sons’ association with the likes of our pet hate, Larysa Switlyk – a cretin who shoves sex toys up the bums of dead sheep and a woman determined to wipe out endangered species across the globe.

     

    Elsewhere this morning, our Change.org petition seeking to ban the barbarian bear slayer Switlyk from Instagram topped 13,160 signatures.

  • Moron of the Moment – Gordon Ramsay

    Moron of the Moment – Gordon Ramsay

    That Gordon Ramsay thinks it acceptable to start selling burgers at £80 a pop at a time of economic meltdown confirms him as a cretin

    When he was not offensively mouthing off on our telly boxes during the last lockup, Gordon Ramsay spent the summer in Cornwall pissing off permanent residents during the coronavirus lockdown. Now, at a time of complete economic meltdown, this petulant prat and prized pillock has gone one stage further and has announced he’s going to sell burgers for the staggeringly stupid sum of £80 each.

     

    Deservedly flung out of Claridge’s in February 2013 and responsible for wrecking the late, great Foxtrot Oscar by ripping out its heart and soul in 2007, rotten ratbag Ramsay now ludicrously plans to sell his utterly overpriced bits of beef in a bap in Harrods from the 4th December.

     

    Announcing the plans for ‘Gordon Ramsay Burger’ on Instagram, the completely out-of-touch with reality chef and all-round cretin stated: “I’m really excited to announce, I’m bringing the Gordon Ramsay Burger to Harrods in Knightsbridge for the first time ever.”

     

    The alleged philanderer continued: “Trust me, this is going to be a burger experience like no other as we’ve really elevated our patties using the most incredible mix of the UK’s best cuts of meat.”

     

    Chips are not even included in Ramsay’s con: They will set you back an extra £8 per portion whilst onion rings can be had for the ‘bargain’ sum of £7 a pop. Do note, they are at least “beer battered.”

    In September, The Steeple Times launched a petition seeking to persuade Instagram to ban the bear slaying barbarian Larysa Switlyk from their medium.

     

    Not only have Instagram done nothing about stopping this evil woman – whom also has shoved sex toys up the bums of sheep and shot endangered animals and alligators and peacocks even – in the time since, but they have also continued to allow her to have verification in the form of their supposedly sought after ‘blue tick.’

     

    Reprehensible Switlyk, however, has now been proven to be one of the most deservedly detested people on the planet. Today, with over 10,000 signatures to our petition, we again demand that Instagram do the decent thing and ban Donald Trump Jr.’s bestie from their site.

  • Sutcliffe Won’t Be Missed

    Sutcliffe Won’t Be Missed

    As serial killer Peter Sutcliffe dies, ‘The Steeple Times’ invites readers to submit their nominations for the best and worst people of 2020 – he’ll definitely be joining ‘The Ones Who Won’t Be Missed”

    The quote: “I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure” is often misattributed to Mark Twain, but with news of the demise of the evil serial killer Peter Sutcliffe (AKA ‘The Yorkshire Ripper’), that quote most definitely rang true for many.

     

    Whilst, according to The Atlantic, the sentiment itself actually closest relates to the words of the lawyer Clarence Darrow – whom in 1932 stated: “All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike someone they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed anyone, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction” – Sutcliffe’s death was quite rightly described as bringing “some kind of closure for victims’ families” this morning in the Guardian.

     

    As we begin to prepare The Steeple Times’ annual Heroes & Villains list of the best and worst people of 2020, we can guarantee that Peter Sutcliffe will make it towards the top of the year’s “One’s Who Won’t Be Missed,” but whether he’ll replace last year’s winner Jeffery Epstein remains to be seen.

     

    Readers are invited to submit their nominations for The Steeple Times’ Heroes and Villains list by email to [email protected]. There are twenty-five spots to be allocated in each of the following categories:

     

    • The Best People of 2020.

  • Hurrah for Hamish!

    Hurrah for Hamish!

    Just as Hamish, the first polar bear born in the UK in 25 years moves from Scotland to Yorkshire, our petition to ban the barbaric bear slayer Larysa Switlyk from Instagram shoots over 5,000 signatures

    Hurrah for Hamish – In July, stage and screen legend Steven Berkoff penned a poem for The Steeple Times about a barbarian bear slayer. He quite rightly expressed his fury about this “ugly human beast,” but today we can share some good news on the polar bear front.

     

    First reported in the Guardian this morning, the first polar bear born in the UK in twenty-five years was moved 400 miles from Scotland to Yorkshire yesterday. The 2.5-year old cub named Hamish has been “an incredible ambassador for his relatives in the wild, playing a crucial role in educating the public about threats faced by many species” according to the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s chief executive, David Field.

     

    Speaking to the paper, he remarked:

     

    “A critical part of our role as a wildlife conservation charity is education. Hamish has made a tremendous impression on the thousands of people who visited the park since his birth two and a half years ago, and the billions who saw the news around the world.”

     

    “He has helped to highlight the threats many species face in the wild and the changes we can undertake to really make a difference.”

     

    “Changes in the Arctic climate mean the sea ice that wild polar bears, and other animals, depend on for survival is shrinking and it is predicted this will significantly decrease population numbers over the next 40 years.”

     

    Elsewhere this morning on Change.org, our petition to get the Trump supporting trailer trash Larysa Switlyk banned from Instagram has shot up from 4,800 to nearly 5,400 signatures in the last 24 hours.

    Shared on Instagram by Emma Farah, our word of the week had to be ‘coronacoaster.’

    Defined as a noun meaning “the ups and downs of the pandemic. One day you’re loving your bubble, doing work outs, baking banana bread and going out for long walks and the next you’re crying, drinking gin for breakfast and missing people you don’t even like.”

    Elsewhere on Medium.com in an article titled ‘Riding the coronacoaster,’ a Houston based therapist named Kirsten Suleman suggested the word to mean: “The ups and downs of a pandemic; the feeling of uncertainty, anxiety, and helplessness surveying news and information concerning humankind’s possible demise from COVID-19” and now as England likely faces lockup-lockdown again courtesy of the bumbling, bungling buffoon ‘Bosie The Clown,’ here is a rollercoaster that nobody is going to welcome.

     

    Whilst Suleman suggests people take up “journaling” in “spiral notebooks,” we prefer the alternative suggestion of gin so today here are a few of our favourites that you should add to your lockup-lockdown drinks trolley.
