RUSSELL BRAND VILLIFIED BY HOPKINS IN CHURCH WAR OF WORDS

BY LUCY CAULKETT

A war of words between Katie Hopkins and Charlotte Church has deepened after Hopkins referred to Church as a ”fatt Welsh Russell Brand” and took up an offer of a boxing charity match previously offered by the multi- millionaire singer. The feud between the two women kicked off after Church joined an anti austerity march in Cardiff yesterday, protesting after David Cameron’s conservative party won last week’s elections with a clear majority.

Charlotte, who rose to fame in her childhood as a classical singer before branching off into pop music is said to find the Conservative party ”utterly intolerable”, and was intent in making her views known by expressing solidarity with those who felt the same way. Katie wrote ”Chubster Charlotte Church has been on my case this week. She even took to a loudspeaker to tell other Welsh people how mad she was while chagging a Greggs steak slice side-ways in her rage- a fat , Welsh Russell Brand. Opinionated Katie Hopkins is clearly a Conservative supporter and promised to leave the UK if Labour won the elections. Therefore on hearing about Charlotte’s Church’s disgust at the results tweeted ‘oi@Charlotte Church, wind your neck in. You are Welsh and you lost. Own your own problems”.

Charlotte Church who has gained weight of late will not be too pleased with the hurtful jibe uttered in the public domain. The 26 year old Welsh star has sold well over 10 million records world wide, and is also worth in excess of £15million pounds after successfully capturing a good portion of the American market. The bad blood between the pair is childish and unwarranted, and does more to make make celebrities not worth the riches they when basic qualities among the ‘who is who’ like class and sophistication is lacking or perceived to be none existent. Church has since appeared in public smiling in an attempt to shrug off the spat between the two.

Russell Brand has obviously not been let off the hook for his public involvement in this month’s general elections, especially given his well known anti voting stance prior to the elections, and the fact the labour government who he advocated following the mockery made of him by eventual winner David Cameron, lost the elections forcing Ed Milliband to step down after his venture to Brand’s luxurious residence failed woefully. Brand must be turning in his home at the way his name is being kicked about by Katie Hopkins, and we better all get ready for a knock out blow from Brand launched at Hopkins any time soon. If Charlotte Church was emulating Brand in taking a political stance openly, then it confirms Brand’s influence to some degree . The marked difference is that Brand did not join a group of protesters to make his point, he conducted an interview with the opposition leader on film, and made his views clear on the Conservative party. The comedian has never been shy to voice his opinions, even if the political arena is not one in which Brand will excel as well as he has in the world of Comedy or acting.

Expressing a view on politics as a none politician is different from expressing and making a pledge as a politician in office or in waiting. What seems to have transpired between the two here depict two women who are basically in competition with each other and seizing every opportunity to grab public attention. Russell Brand has always made clear his issue with politicians. He says they lie, they are fraudsters, and can’t be trusted. Those points resonate with most people as factual perceptions most of us have about politicians. In the case of Charlotte Church and Katie Hopkins, we can see why their confrontation is almost as predictable as the outcome of a charity boxing match, if it ever materializes.

Hopkins is pro Conservative, Church is pro Labour. They are both vociferous about their political allegiances , both have fame, money and big mouths. So, let’s see if both will go as far as the charity boxing match they talk about, or whether they are both mouth. I would have no objections if either of the two women would intelligently articulate the reasons they support the parties they do or feel strongly against the parties they despise, instead of a blanket disapproval of the parties they loathe without expanding on their reasons. At least Brand made an intelligent attempt to give his reasons for initially discouraging people from voting, and also for not favouring the Conservatives.
