Australia Boots Far-RW Talker for Violating Quarantine Rules
This is how you do it. Katie Hopkins, sort of the UK’s version of Tucker Carlson, is very much a controversial personality, first gaining attention as a contestant on the UK version of The Apprentice about 14 years ago. Since then, she’s been carrying the water for the extreme right in Europe writing columns and talking on radio and television.
As part of a new program to improve the economy by allowing television and movie crews into the country, Hopkins was granted a special visa into Australia to participate in the Australian version of the television show, Big Brother. Under Australian quarantine rules, she was required to quarantine in a hotel for 14 days. Under these rules she was to stay in her room and food would be brought to her. Also under those rules, she was to wait 30 seconds after a door knock and then answer the door wearing a mask to retrieve the food brought to her. She thought it would be really funny to not do that, but to immediately answer the door sans not only a mask, but also clothing. AND she videoed herself doing that and then posted the video on social media. She was trying to attract attention and draw a reprimand so she could then publicize government tyranny.
Well, she drew more than attention and a reprimand. Officials from New South Wales arrested her, fined her $1,000 Australian dollars, and promptly put her on a plane back to the UK. Australia is having none of the anti-science, anti-vax nonsense, and is actively working to protect its citizens, especially from idiots like Hopkins. Oh, and here’s the best part – Big Brother Australia fired her from the show.
Boom.
Apologies to all 3-year-olds for what I’m about to say.
Well, now I don’t need to say it. You know what I was going to write, right?
1Maybe she can hook up with the naked lawnmower guy in texas. They can make a new reality series, something like naked and stupid.
2AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE!
OI! OI! OI! I heartily endorse the land down under for this action taken for the good of those people who are trying to prevent the spread of this disease. It is a shame that the talking heads in the USA can spread their misinformation to a base of lemmings and not be held accountable for the deadly results.
3They’ve come a long way from being a penal colony.
4It appears we’re headed, at the same speed, to being a penile colony.
Just sayin’
Was there video of her been ejected from the country? I bet that was a long hard flight from Australia to the UK – I pity any person sitting within earshot of her!
5Good on Australia! At least some people know the difference between liberty and license (or perhaps licence).
6And it’s now reported that Caitlyn Jenner pulled out of the California governor’s recall election to appear on the Australian show (presumably because the show doesn’t work without a conservative bigot).
7Who were those actors who smuggled a couple of small dogs into Australia a few years ago? They got booted immediately but the Australians were kindhearted enough not to destroy the dogs. Personally, I’d have booted the dogs and jailed the humans.
I get the impression Oz takes quarantine rules very seriously.
