Tavistock Wharf - Katie Hopkins

I believe that in the current political climate it is beyond irresponsible for a community event space to offer a platform to populist far right misinformation, xenophobia, racism and misogyny. Katie Hopkins embodies all of the above, she trades in “common sense” hatred and division.

I would ask that The Wharf issue a statement regarding the choice to offer a platform to Katie Hopkins at this sensitive moment in world history. If, as a community space, The Wharf is making a conscious choice to condone and promulgate the views of the far right, misinformation and hatred, I will know to boycott your premises and events. 

I would ask that you, The Wharf, Tavistock make a principled and responsible decision to withdraw from hosting this event and in this signal to your wider community that you offer an inclusive and safe space - a space where hatred, even when dressed up as “free speech”, “comedy” or “opinion”, is not tolerated.

No decision is neutral. Profiting from the proceeds of this event will make The Wharf / Tavistock Town Council complicit in the normalisation of racism, misogyny and xenophobia.
