A YouTuber got an inflammatory right-wing commentator to fly to Prague to pick up a fake award, the initials of which spelled out the 'C-word'

Inflammatory right-wing commentator Katie Hopkins probably thought her day on the internet couldn’t get any worse after her Twitter account was suspended for hate speech on Friday. She was wrong.

YouTuber Josh Pieters convinced the controversial opinion-spouter to fly over to Prague this week to pick up a fake award from the Capetown Collective for the Freedom of Speech. He just released the video that shows how her lifetime achievement award – the Campaign to Unify the Nation trophy – spells out the “C-word” very clearly behind her.

It was tough to stay in character

Hopkins, who has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Milo Yiannopoulos, Nigel Farage, and Tommy Robinson, enjoyed a three-course dinner with Pieters, his sidekick magician Archie Manners, and a group of thoroughly briefed actors at the five-star Four Seasons hotel in Prague.

Pieters gave a speech to keep up the convincing charade, which included a nod to his real occupation as a YouTuber. He made a lot of bold statements that Hopkins clapped along with, including that “without being able to mock other people, without being able to attack people, we are not free,” “the battle against the woke brigade is being won,” and “snowflakes are melting.”

He told Insider the speech was about twice as long as what was shown in the video, but when cut together it seemed a lot more ridiculous that Hopkins fell for it.
