The Motion: This House Believes Positive Discrimination Is The Best Solution To An Unequal Society.
Katie Hopkins continues the case for the opposition, as the fourth speaker of six in the debate.
The motion was defeated with 177 noes to 98 ayes.
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
Say what you will about her, it’s not easy to hold your own in a room full of people who disagree with you. And she did it with humor, wit, and eloquence. Katie Hopkins is one brave woman.
Very charismatic speaker. I just watched the meat eating rights debate, and there was a lot of unhappy people commenting about it.
She's a national treasure

These students believe in equality as soon as it applies to others.
If you think Katie struggles with inequality... freedom to offend, she has been really exploiting that one for her whole career.
Those students do NOT believe in equality - they believe in equity, which is a completely different thing - it's a marxist idea and they probably don't even know that - they probably wouldn't understand it or the ramifications of such an ideology if it slapped them in their faces.
Exactly brilliant comeback to point out their hypocrisy. They complain about black underrepresentation but would they give up THEIR seats to a black person? They believe in socialism, would they share THEIR grade marks with lower-achieving students? They virtue signal to feel better about themselves so they don't have to give up any of THEIR advantages, which thanks to affirmative action, are getting lesser and lesser.
The Hypocrisy or straight up irrational behavior is epic.
The ending was perfect "When you get paid twice the amount as the average wage, are you going to hand it back?" --- the answer is --- OF COURSE THEY WILL NOT!!!!
They want a system with a less wealth gap, the outcome is similar.
@@AT2336 History tells us the political systems with the smallest wealth gaps are dictatorships where 95% of the population is living at the brink of starvation. Sometimes more than 95%. Capitalism will never have smaller wealth gaps than the system the Khmer Rouge assembled in Cambodia. We'll never come close to that level of equalitarian society. You get what I mean?
But they will go out on the streets protesting for climate change, for Black Lives Matter and Defund the Police movements so they can feel they are part of the crowd and not an elite...So they can sleep better at night.
And despite their protestations, they're going to have employees, servants, cleaning people, cooks, janitors who do the jobs they don't want to do, and if everyone were "equal" there would be no people to do them. They're completely fake and this is only to "virtue signal" to feel good about themselves when they contribute to the very things they're complaining about.
They're very happy to hand out everybody else's money though.
Is there any group more irritating than an American student studying in Europe?
Europeans studying at NYU in NYC, especially Film Majors.
+IbelongtoNYC Probably right to be fair.
Cameron J. Quinn was brilliant on University Challenge (2015-16 season, Oxford student representative and runner-up to Gonville & Caius, Cambridge). I've never had a problem with Americans who spend time over here, in fact; seeing things from a different perspective seems to bring the best out of them.
Ligerpride Yes! Western third wave feminist!
He gets up and says America is killing black people. Fuck that. That doesn't even deserve a response.
There was a lot of virtue signalling from the floor but you know they aren't handing their unequal pay back once they graduate.
Idiot. That stupid nazi feminist insulted the room like 3rd wavers do. Inequality and freedom of positive descrimination are not and was not the same debate here
You can look at my face and facebook or just insult me like 3rd wave feminists do. I will call whoever an idiot is that agrees her side of the arguement had any relevance to do with the debate, I am sorry but she is one of the reason that their team lost. Want to know my personal idea view? or spout insults till I conform. Because most likely my view is more libertarian than yours...
+ja goku Okay humour everyone. Why do we need 'positive discrimination'?
+ja goku "Inequality and freedom of positive descrimination are not and was not the same debate here" ... " ... why should we use positive descrimination in politics to write legislature to outlaw inequality...". In your own words you acknowledge that positive discrimination is linked in worldview to positive discrimination This complaint seems to unjustififed.
"not staying on topic while insulting the crowd unproffessionally is how come their debate team lost" ... "why stack her on the team to make the opposition lose is what I contest too here". I think you misjudge Katie Hopkins' wider intentions, who made the more lasting impact of all the debaters?
"In your own words you acknowledge that positive discrimination is linked in worldview to positive discrimination" I guess you ment inequality instead of positive descrimination. I think the complaint speaks for itself because I thought her approach against the proposal was at the wrong angle. Instead of treating the crowd like childeren and repeating the same sentence 11 times while touching a random student, instead of listening to him after insulting the way he is dressed ruined their chances of winning. Her intentions which will prove my complaint justified, are stupid because we all know inequality is a fantastic thing brought upon through positive descrimination. Imagine if open positive descrimination against the church was outlawed until now and not practiced, the inquisition and salem witch trials would still be going on today, such as the world thinking the earth is flat etc. No one likes hearing their grimm for not donating their money to the poor after they graduate college in any context however thoughts about science and arts being suppressed still unless positive descrimination was done by hystorical figures would have been a much greater point that wouldn't have killed their chance of winning the debate. I think she is too dykie yes. I watched them all but hers first, and all of them had just bad reasoning in my opinion however the opposition had the worst reasoning due to why they lost. Seems like the first girl proposal was a social justice warrior so I hate that crap. and I watched alot of these debates at one time but I can't pinpoint the others just seemed like all 6 were morally wrong on the grounds of Gospel sense, "God is Just, not negative or positive". I don't wanna hear saying blacks don't have the same chance to get into college on proposal side and thats why we should be able to positive descriminate against them and I also don't wanna hear about inequality because of that same reason. inequality with actual examples but the proposal struck gold in this middle class sympothisers. AKA they could not take the heat from Katie Hopkins. I agree with her statements, however I do not like her as a person, but her idea was great one on one. She was trying to get a room to agree with her and I felt she was an idiot with the way she approached that. I do not beleive law makers should be the ones positively descriminating like the opposition, i beleive the people should have a right too
Oh she's such a lovely Villain! I Love Katie! No.. she's not a Villain but its so very easy to turn her into the Ultimate Villain. Such Bravery, I envy her.
Will you give it back? No, no you won’t, and most don’t even give charitably.....love this woman
Theyre having fun for the first time in their lives
Katie rules! She’s taken such an undeserved beating in the past. It’s good to see her being welcomed to speak in places like this. There’s hope yet
She gets a 10/10 purely for calling Lord Sugar an "absolute twat".
@John Edwards because his name is Lord Allen Sugar he has a title like Mr or Dr
I like Katie, she takes a brave stance, she is not afraid to have a difficult discussion with people who are hard to have conversations with. Health, equality, positive discrimination, and she is authentic. She just points out the reality that they already exist in. Life is not equal, fair, it never has been, and it never will be. I think she just wants to help these kids avoid making bad decisions. And for that I applaud her.
Positive discrimination is actually unlawful. It's not positive for the people it discriminates against, ie: the indigenous people.
@@JohnSmith-vy4lh The OU are really scrapping the barrel inviting scum newspaper employees. She has nothing whatsoever to offer, and she doesn't realise people are laughing at her not with her.
If there ever was a useless eater, she is it lol.
@@JohnSmith-vy4lh give an example
@@girlsdrinkfeck Two people going for the same job. One black and the other white.
If they are of the same ability, the black person will get the job.

This is down to DEI and ESG and the Kalergi plan..
Positive discrimination is an oxymoron, and in of it's self discriminatory.
@@JohnSmith-vy4lh they're scared of being fined for racial descrimination. Only racists bring up race. Trump rarely mentioned race. Yet bidens admin loves to
I love Katie Hopkins... Absolute legend.. Students are so ignorant to what's actually going on...
I know. We think that these children are superior to us but they are so simple minded
They're educated that way and don't ask any questions.
Katie really commands this room, and they don't even know it.
Oxford elitists attacking her is precious.
Equality is about EQUALITY OF CHANCES , EQUALITY in front of the law, etc.
As Jordan Peterson said, it's about equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.
The Bravest, Smartest And Most Daring DAME In The Whole Of Britain. Since The Honorable Margret Thatcher !
The kid in the green shirt is a great example of the new progressives: Shout and yell over people who they don't agree with to make sure opposing viewpoints are not heard.
Kenneth Dillard
You just described Katie Toffkins professional trolling MO perfectly!
She. Literally. Asked. For. People. To. Talk.
Kenneth Dillard kinda like Katie
He needed to be punched in the face, and spend the rest of the semester in Intensive Care.
And if that doesn't work there's always the Covid option.
Oxford really did a bad job here at representing themselves. Slight lost of respect. They lost sight of what the argument was and really didnt let the speaker speak. She made a really good point when she said that no one in that room wanted to be equal, they all want to be better. That was a very true statement. But instead of people having a objective and productive exchange of ideas and conversation, they just took jabs at the speaker because they didnt agree. Oxford embarassed themselves here IMO
Exactly. Them being there was the point. If they didn't care about being better and getting ahead, they wouldn't be at Oxford. Not sure why anyone thinks that equality is possible. It's not.
Darth Francium
So, Hopkins caught you with her strawman/presumptive fallacy. It's about equal OPPORTUNITY, not trying to make everyone equal/the same
Just Me
The concept of Social Darwinism has been around for a very long time I think you will find. Im interested to know what your ideas/ suggestions to change society into one that is culturally Darwinian? This woman would have thrown Stephen Hawkings on the scrapheap, great for evolution!?
G M
Well put! Hopkins arguments are full of straw, positive discrimination is there not to make everyone the same, but to offer the same opportunities
Just Me
Let me get this straight - Your saying that Liberals have been going against nature and its ruined the planet/civilisation? Have you not considered that going against nature/conquering it is why your sat now in front of a computer instead of a cave scratching on a piece of slate. By your reckoning, man shouldnt fly because he was not born with wings. Also we have reached a point where we can change nature through DNA. Maybe someday soon you will be able to grow a pair of wings through genetic modification. As for "survival of the dumbest"????? can you explain what you mean by "dumb" because its a very subjective concept, IE: Hopkins hero Trump could be considered "dumb". You need to expand and be more precise with your argument.
´When you get paid twice the amount of the average wage, are you going to hand it back?` This final sentence provides lots of food for thought ... brilliant speaker .. might not agree with all that was said but she certainly hit the nail with her last sentence.
This is probably the only time I will say .........
I'm with Her!
UnathiGX
Doesn't make no difference to her! 😂
Watch a few more and you might say it again
'Positive discrimination' is an oxymoron, a contradiction, plain and simple. Fighting discrimination with discrimination is like fighting fire with fire!

I used to really dislike this woman, but the more I see of her the more I like her.
She's very entertaining and I love how she deals with the special snowflakes who seem to be running universities these days.
I disagree with her on many things, but that's the beauty of not being an ideologue (which a lot of university students seem to be these days). I can disagree with another person and not resort to calling them a "racist" or a "sexist" or a "misogynist" for not agreeing with me or my ideology.
That's an extremely good opinion and comment. Put very nicely. That's pretty much the way I feel, too.
I agree with you on everything you wrote.
Hugh Mungus yoire a fucking idiot
+Thirsa Lazarus, in the UK we have the section 5 of the Public Order Act so no, it shouldn't happen, especially at a prestige university like Oxford.
In fairness she has improved over time. She really did used to be quite left field and out of place and... well... random. But now, she is still those things, she's become better at working it so she really has improved.
Interesting how she uses humour to deflect questions when she is challenged
LFC YNWA Bad humour. Her only strength is that she is so utterly self righteous that she has the confidence to mock others on anything other than the arguments they are making in a debate. A complete waste of intelligent people’s time.
@@lolly8624 Seems that she talks about accepting perspective meaning her perspective but refuses to openly engage with the perspectives of others by way of deflection through humour. She asks others to get involved but brings it back to her view without any consideration or comments on the views of others. False dialogue really. She can't control a debate but only a room through arrogance and showmanship. Subjectively powerful but objectively transparent. She might think she can control a debate but she's the horse being brought to water by her own choice and doesn't seem to be drinking it. (The horse being her and the water being a debate)
Charlotte Johnson you are a donkey
@@roelinamackintosh5376 Smart and strong then! thanks for that. Have a nice day
@@lolly8624 This isn't a press conference. She's there to push her point and she did it well. They come with a bunch of "gotcha" questions --- many that would take a long explanation as to why they are actually wrong.

I love this speech so much! So true, let people fail, find their own way, fight to succeed. Nobody is the same, that is literally impossible
indeed ,it is ironic humans want a 100% fair society thats a socialistic world like many insects have .... but ill born or stupid individuals often die or are killed by their society for not achieving the minimal
There's no such thing as "positive" discrimination. Discrimination is still discrimination end of.
Lol.. a wheelchair user having a pass to use a elevator in school is an example of positive discrimination
@@hiimannie6967 No it isn't.
I agree with about 10% of what she says, but I love her fearlessness, sense of humor, and the unrelenting bitchiness. I think she's crazy, but fabulous.
LovelyReba
Which 10%? The 10% where she states that people like Stephen Hawkings should be "left to die" or just her overall un-british immodesty?
@@wordscontrolminds well said,the way she equated low IQ with the Question about black Americans receiving healthcare was shockingly! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that,or how she inferred that those less able physically or intellectually should "be allowed to fail"...you know sounds very much like the ideas that directly led to people deemed to be of less intelligence,or of being a burden, becoming victims of so called "euthanasia" from the Nazis...(yes I'm sorry to mention Nazis, but I think it's important to point this out,these ideas are dangerous,our history shows us that),and yes those ideas would have taken Stephen Hawking and his amazing scientific mind from the world,and so many others. Having said all that, I'll now say this...debate is good, don't stop people from debating,it shines a light on the roots of their ideas and gives a chance to openly debate,where society can then as a collective but democratically decide on something,if we take away debate and hearing views we disagree with we take that away....so debate and free speech is vital.
cbeartv00 bless you! Humanity itself is under threat from robots like Hopkins, it’s time to kick back against talentless media parasites like her. Soon come!
@@cBearTV-
You missed the irony in Hopkin's presentation. She is controversial deliberately to make people, shock people, so that they go away thinking and discussing the issues she introduces as relevant today.
@@wordscontrolminds How did you conclude that's what she meant?
Love her final point about them sitting in one of the top educational establishments with hopes of earning lucrative salaries and asking if they would want to hand back half of their cash for equality.
Katie: "feel free to interact and pipe up"
Also Katie: "SIT DOWN"
right? the irony of someone who doesn't know India is a location talking about low IQ. LOL!
@Cliff Smith Brilliantly so. Amazing.
"Sit down" "you're boring me already"... great counter argument
well it's not like she's known for her wit. the irony here is that we have someone who doesn't know one of the most populated country is a location, and made a fool out of herself on TV for criticising people who have geographical name while she names her child after said country.
I'm looking forward to the day when we let allow the intellectually weak people like Karen Hopskin to fail. oh wait, she already has.
@Dorian Mode _yawn_ What a lame, outdated, & regurgitated playground insult from an anti-intellectual who most likely flunked high school and has since borne resentment against the intellectuals. As expected from someone who treats books so casually. Try again, kid.
@Dorian Mode I'm obviously referring to the bookworms--whom you mocked--as "intellectuals". Are you missing the top of your brain that something as obvious as that actually flew over you? Ah, no wonder you're a high school drop out. You couldn't even copy a sentence properly. It's "one of the most populated country", not "one of the most populated county". Country is not the same as county. You literally have a copy-and-paste feature built into the browser and you're actually that inept you end up making such a ridiculous blunder. I'm sorry if you're too stupid to comprehend those simple sentences. Maybe if you didn't have such a disdain for books or if people like you and Hopkins had stayed in school, you folks would've known India is a geographical location. LOL! It's funny that you expect me to reply within a given time frame when you pretty much had to look around in your basement for your brain for days before coming up with a response--a lame response nonetheless. 😂
@@GrammeStudio she so eloquently NAILED IT.... those kids to NOT want equality. And no, this isn't a press conference. She's not obligated to answer every "gotcha" question. She's incredibly witty BTW. She's actually known for it. And it was on display today.
@Bill Laswell Does the 'Beano' annual qualify as a book?
She is a great woman in my opinion. She got guts and no fear to say things,very bold statements..
+christopher Pauly Well that's your opinion .
because she is right..
+Christopher Pauly - Her fans, like myself, agree with what she is saying. We don't see it as BS. However, seeing as you know better, perhaps you should get your own column in a newspaper (not sure if she still does that or not) and also be the public speaker educating all of us instead of commenting from your keyboard. The world has done a pretty good job of making it this far making snap judgements, does it really need to change so drastically?
agree
She hates u cause you’re brown so you’re the idiot here
I love how Katie at the end called out their liberal virtue signaling
What an extraordinary woman. I absolutely *love* how she presents herself and her views here. Our society may have lost all its balls, but here you can see where they went.
Excellent. Agreed in full.

Happy birthday Katie.
I like Katie Hopkins, she's refreshingly honest and brave.
New Katie fan from San Diego. A real person no phonyness.
I used to buy into the media propaganda and hated Katie Hopkins too, but after hearing her speak, my mind has changed - though not totally.
I still think she's unpleasantly brutal and unrestrained, but I see her as a backlash against an increasingly toxic society, and she's violently trying to grab the wheel from a weak, incompetent driver in the form of political correctness that's gonna crash spectacularly. She does come across as intelligent and charismatic despite this however, and I suspect that the nastier elements of her personality are a reaction to what she sees around her, and a necessary evil in changing it for the better, rather than who she is at her core.
...either that or I'm completely wrong and she really IS a female Vlad the Impaler, a dark, vicious individual that is sadly needed today to fight a greater evil, much as the man himself did with the Ottoman Empire.
Arrogant people like 👍 to control people with politeness . They love 💘 too act superior especially to boost their self esteem. They love attention and act like they are important. Smugness is a sign of arrogance. At least Katie says what she think. does not pretend she's perfect. People more self absorbed a like to act high and mighty. Criticise and laugh at people to feel superior.
I'd go with the latter tbh
Marie Williams I think she is brave and stands up for the liberty that my father and many others gave their lives to win in WWll
One day, you might find that that which you just referred to as "dark"

Yeah, maybe a bit soppy, however it's the vein in which the *many* classics she referred were written.

When she doesn't like a question she tells that individual to "sit down".
The trouble was that most of the questions from the audience were just idealistic retorts.
Why waste time with an ideot. With Limited time to get your points across... With equality you'd have to answer the ideots question and that in its nature is inefficient by wasting time... Therefore ignore the ideot and not waste time. Its common sense to ignore the ideot. If the ideot had common sense, the ideot wouldnt ask the question.

Master Oogway!
In her closing statement she nails the truth .
People with degrees from Oxford must carry that banner the rest of their life and
assume they should get paid more than someone who got their degree from a lower level institution .
She has the nerve to criticize the fashion sense of others and talk about the lower classes while she wears that glittering silver high water pant suit with spray painted clog sneakers. Love it!
I think Katie is a force as she just doesn’t care.
I think she dressed for the occasion: the majority of the audience was a bunch of virtue signallers with mommy issues and low IQ. That's how I would dress for that situation. She was kind enough not to bring the clown mask.
“If everybody’s somebody, then no one’s anybody!” 🎶
It's frightening to think these people are the future. Thanks Katie for calling them out on their privileged HYPOCRISY.
her last point is the only point that needs to be made.
people whine about inequality but just want the state to sort it out on their behalf - tax the 'evil rich' and give to the 'unfortunate poor'
why not could out the middle man and give your money to the poor then? people want equality unless it's their money being stolen (taxed) and given away.
This monstrosity is an abomination
Invalid point ! The rich are only rich because they exploit poor .many of the ppl who say tax the rich more are poor

+Ohloveeh She was actually the only person in the room who stuck to the point being discussed, i.e. whether there should be so called "positive discrimination". Everyone else was trying to argue with her about negative discrimination.

The skeleton of her argument made sense and I agree with it - about wanting to be/have the best and the competition and ultimately the improvement that generates is (mostly) a good thing. How she goes about saying what she does is why I don't really like her. Letting the sick just die or giving up on those with learning difficulties etc is not a good thing, people with advantages should help those less fortunate because that's how the world is made to be a better place - supporting your fellow man in the aim of a better future.

This woman is amazing, my new hero
Great fun and very funny a bit more respect for Hopkins as she gets older...
when I hear the word "equality" my brain automatically translates it to "I exist, so you better give me stuff"
The truth!
Growing up through high school I used to be an ideologue calling for the socialist utopia but as I get older Katie Hopkins' core argument here holds true - The more money I EARN the more I want to ensure it remains mine and the more I believe in meritocracy. I come from Elgin, a predominantly working-class town in the north-east of Scotland. I could have went to university but decided to go down the apprenticeship route. I am now working within the whiskey industry and through listening to people like Katie, Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro I am the most motivated I have ever been. Complete U-turn from my ultra leftist teenage years and I'm glad the change was made, things make more sense when you come to terms with the unfairness of life. Nobody necessarily wishes to perpetuate unfair and deliberate inequality but the acknowledgement of its reality is ultimately what brings the best out in people, not all the time, but a good portion of the time and I sure as hell want to be part of it. Don't agree with every one of Katie's opinions but a point was well made here and I appreciate the no-holds-barred approach to speaking.
I used to be an anarchist, but I'm alright NAOOW!
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant argument put forward by Katie Hopkins!

Opinions are not arguments, esp when delivered like a sgt major from the SS. Opinions are ten a penny, everyone has one, just like we all have an arsehole, except hers stinks.
Katie is right.
"Is he ok?" Love it! And then point of order? OMG!
We could ALL learn a bit from her. How to take criticism and deal with negative feelings towards us. No Snowflakes!
I LOVE THIS WOMAN. I WISH MORE WOMEN WERE LIKE HER! SHE IS SO BRAVE AND SO RIGHT!
As a man see would put me in my place.ha ha .
She's pretty epic, really. I keep thinking her attitude and self riteous veneer is going to cave with everyone ganging up on her but she simply fires back unimpeded.
Mountains are epic, she’s a fucking cow pat with a microphone
That self-reflecting question she asked them at the end was amazing and telling
Inequality promotes competition and a desire to improve. Competition produces a better product or service. If we watch a sporting event we don't want it to end in a tie score. We expect one opponent to win and the other to not win. Everyone can't win. We need more Katie Hopkins on this planet!
Very impressive performance from Katie i didn't realist she was such i realist.
8:07 Men couldn't vote either 100 years ago, dunce.
Andybaby yeah they could
It was property owners.
In Australia in 1854, a miners' protest about the licence fee and their political rights resulted in a rebellion in which both soldiers and miners died. Following the rebellion, a number of the miners' demands were met, including their right to vote. Men had to fight and die for their right to vote as much as women had to. During the 1880s, the women's suffragette movement gained momentum. This movement was based on the belief that democracy, in its truest form, could not be achieved until women had the same electoral rights as men. In 1894, the South Australian Parliament agreed and the remaining colonies gradually came to the same view.
Leading by example, Australia helped to pioneer the recognition of women's suffrage internationally.
In 1924, to improve the low rates of voter turnout, amendments to the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 were made. Compulsory voting was introduced and this resulted in a dramatic increase in voter turnout at the following election.
Isn't it interesting that once given the right, that they needed compulsory voting to get people to be involved? So much for equality.
Love it when she just stands there takes a couple of seconds before answering with an intellectual sarcastic realistic answer awesome.
Why is she commenting on what people are wearing instead of answering their questions?
Both sides are ridiculous in this, the only difference is that Katie Hopkins ridiculousness is funny
Brave. Lovely. Thank you.
Go Katie ! Even here there are MORONS , they need to be brought back to reality. In my book , there is almost nothing to top a good dose of COMMON SENSE _ in all things !
Why TF did I get a impeach trump ad?? I love my POTUS
She made an excellent point here, equality isn't as good as it seems in reality.
Andrew Towell you do have to admit that when someone gets paid millions for kicking a ball round a pitch whearas a nurse gets 30 grand a year then it's a bit too unequal and a bit insane to put it lightly
Of course, just as when you've been searching for something your entire life you get and it's really quite underwhelming, our ideas of things are very hyped up. Doesn't mean equality isn't necassery or isn't needed. Try running a truly functioning and fair soceity without it
I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, I’m a highschool dropout and doing a trade, but I love katie hopkins and think she’s mostly right. I could never be a doctor or a scientist, I have other strengths that I should focus on if I want to contribute anything to society. (Eg. doing a trade)
J-Dog Robert there is too much inequality though and too much non meritocratic inequality which is not fair at all and I'm not sure if society is functioning very well with it. It's very inefficient in fact when most big companies can get away with what they want such as not paying taxes or destroying the environment. Furthermore, it is damaging to you for example Mac Donalds burgers being purposefully engineered to be addictive but being extremely unhealthy as a consequence. Society would be far better without the degree of inequality we have
Steph and don't put yourself down like that! I'm sure you could've done well if you had done more work or something or if you enjoyed it; not because you're stupid or something. There is very little correlation between achievement and intelligence, people with low iq are known to get A*s and stuff. It's not like I'm saying this because I did badly in school, I did pretty well and still am improving but it doesn't make me intelligent. And it's kinda bullshit that I have to pay over 9k a year to study maths. The system is clearly rigged for the richest to go to the top and the poorest to go to the bottom regardless of intelligence.
Ayn Rand is grinning from ear to ear somewhere.
She is a very very good speaker, although I think she is wrong on many things she puts her point across very well and she has an extremely witty humour which makes you want to empathise with her point of view. She likes to use self deprecation which makes it difficult for people to insult her and she is not easily offended unlike the lefty's who cant fathom the idea of someone disagreeing with them. Overall I think she is morally incorrect here, life is a special thing, it shouldn't be about having an 'elite society' and weeding out the weak, it should be about making the most out of the time you have and helping your fellow man.
If 25% of the population produce children who will enter Universities and will prosper and reach the highest standards in the Ivy League Universities then they are our industrialists, scientists, surgical consultants, judges and hopefully our future ministers of state. The present barmy trend of aiming at 50% of all children getting a university education by lowering entry qualifications and allowing them to take Mickey Mouse courses like Media Studies, Golf Course Management and a whole lot of other daft subjects, is irresponsible and totally irrelevant to the economy. Apprenticeships in the craft industries would be the best option for most school leavers and would provide us with a home produced skilled workforce instead of us having to import craftsmen from abroad to fill the skills shortage. There will always be an elite layer in the population and there will always be those who cannot achieve their standard of education, creativity and entreprenurial and management skills. Inequality has always existed and always will. That is how societies work efficiently. Look at bee or ant colonies as just two of thousands of lower animal societies. They have an heirarchy and they are extremely efficient. make universitiy education available for the elite who are capable of benefiting from it. The average people should follow a trade. The educationally challenged few who are left can do the labouring jobs or enter the service industry
There's no greater form of inequality than trying to make unequal things equal.
It is hard to belive this is Oxford , what happend ? I give credit to Kate for trying to debate .
Was this filmed at Hogwarts?
+Mcarthur Rich No, but some of 'Harry Potter' was filmed at Oxford :)
I always enjoy hearing her talk. Can't wait to hear her speak in person one day. I hope she comes to the East Coast of the U.S. to talk.
She really knows how to command an audience lol!
she's just straight being rude
@@bhimpaldagar2825 its funny and gets her point across, the opposition are ready waiting and closely listening to something to get offended about, which directly makes them listen to her argument. Its just a clever move
@@bhimpaldagar2825 Not at all. That's the format. You have 10 minutes or whatever. This isn't a press conference and she's not obligated to go down ever "rabbit hole" presented by the snobby students. The BEST part is these kids NEED someone to smack them in the mouth (figuratively speaking of course) as they have people telling them how brilliant they are 24/7. She humbled them.
Its easy to command an audience when you're staying things like that. Was food for thought though.
I love this woman
We need more people like Katie Hopkins.
'Isn't inequality superb'
@@redshift739 you would have to be poorer and lose things like the welfare state to even scratch the surface of lowering people to one single level
So you like slappers. Does your mum know lol
@@JohnSmith-vy4lh Probably not, seeing as she's been dead for 24 years.
She schooled them beautifully
I'd just like to say, i love Katie's sparkly suit and metallic silver shoes!
