Give me a ‘T’!
What do you get?
Katie Hopkins!
The picture above shows Katie Hopkins accepting the ‘Campaign to Unify the Nation Trophy’, from Knysna-born YouTuber and prankster Josh Pieters.
It’s not hard to figure out that the trophy’s acronym also doubles as an accurate description of Hopkins, who is a truly vile human being.
Pieters has amassed a sizeable following on YouTube (1,2 million at the time of writing), and you would expect that to grow in the wake of this recent effort.
TimesLIVE reporting below:
He created a fake organisation called the Cape Town Collective for Freedom of Speech, with a friend. Roping in his father and some actors, he tricked the right-wing media personality…into believing she had met some supporters.
He went as far as paying for her flight and hotel to attend a swanky event in Prague, in the Czech Republic, at which she was invited to accept an award: the Campaign to Unify the Nation Trophy.
The video is 10 minutes long, but it makes for decent Friday viewing as the weekend draws ever nearer:
For the Katie Hopkins defenders out there (yes, there are millions), or for those who think this prank went too far, here are some snippets from her acceptance speech.
Watch the second video below:

She’s been talking this shite for years, so she must take it on the chin.
Guess who really digs Katie? Yeah, you saw this coming:
Birds of a feather, and all that.
Alas, Hopkins will have to find a way to respond to this humiliation that doesn’t include hate speech on social media, because her Twitter account has been suspended.
Here’s what greeted me when I popped past:
How unfortunate.
Hopkins is probably enjoying all of the attention this video has brought her, and I have no doubt that she’ll find a way to monetise being the victim here.
For that, she has more than earned her Campaign to Unify the Nation Trophy.
