Katie Hopkins was forced out of the Dundee Arms in Bethnal Green, London, during England's debut at the World Cup on 17/06 after a confrontation with patrons watching the match against Croatia. Video footage shows her leaving the pub after a man told her to get out.
She answered him with “f*** off,” then charged at him and raised her middle finger, according to the video sent to Sell Us Your Story. The footage captures the moment the room turned on her, with patrons chanting “Katie Katie you're a c***” as the row escalated around England's game.
Hopkins then screamed “f*** you” and pushed a man thought to be the landlord before storming out. As she exited the front door, the crowd inside broke into cheers, and the clip later shows her appearing to push the phones of people recording her while walking down the street. That is the sharp end of what was happening in the pub: a public removal, caught on camera, in the middle of a major match for England.
One pubgoer, who asked not to be named, said Hopkins was kicked out because of her “racism and general views,” though that reason is not confirmed in the footage itself. The same person said the mood in the pub made clear that people did not want her there, and said they were surprised she was served at all. Hopkins, described in the source as a far-right political commentator, left with the argument still hanging over the basic question of why she had been allowed in to begin with.
For now, the answer is only partial: she was in the pub, she was told to leave, and she did. What the footage does not settle is whether she was a customer, a guest, or someone the room should have refused from the start.
