Well, given her recent 6 figure loss to Jack Monroe I'm happy to encourage her. A few more loose Tweets and she'll be bankrupt.

Piers Morgan simply likes the sound of his own voice. Hopkins deliberately and calculating stirs up shit. Quite different.

She should stick to stealing other women's husbands, something she does rather well, apparently.

Never understood why anyone gives a Flying Intercourse what she thinks...
She was just a failed applicant on "The Apprentice".
Maybe we should listen because her father wasn't a Bus driver?
She knows that she makes money by being controversial. Give her and Piers Morgan a knife each and throw them into a pit and let them fight to the death. Murdoch could put in on Pay Per View.
Be even better if we could throw Murdoch in the pit as well followed by a very angry honey badger.

Katie Hopkins is just Julie Burchill Lite. She knows that's where the media money lies.

I can't stand her, she is a total waste of oxygen. However she does have a minor point in there of the name calling and lack of discussion when faced with differing opinions.

I don't know - I think Morgan is pretty unpleasant as well. When I read [MENTION=23795]Hugo Rune[/MENTION]'s post earlier in the thread regarding Hopkins, he was the first person I thought of that it could also apply to.

In my view John Harris nails the whole alt-right response (in which Hopkins plays a starring role):
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/mar/24/britain-alt-right-populists
I know many will not want to read anything in the Guardian so here are a few key extracts:
Figureheads of the so-called alt-right... dispense messages that chime perfectly with the intentions of the killers...They want rage, uncontrollable tension and intimations of the apocalypse to begin to embed in the societies they seek to attack. And the people who brought us a thousand verbose radio spots and newspaper columns are only too happy to oblige.
How strange that this hysterical, hyperventilating strain of politics emerged from the belly of English Conservatism...(which) has tended to be an essentially stoic, phlegmatic creed, usually at pains to insist that if Hitler failed to break the British spirit, nothing else will. But its ******* offspring are something else again: people seemingly both frightened and irate, whose every hour is spent warning of the imminent breakdown of civilisation, thanks to the forces let loose by liberalism, and the failure of too many people to stand in the way.
I point all this out not so much as an outraged leftie, but someone who has a love of their country just as strong as the patriotism these people bang on about, but who perhaps understands a little better that Britain – or, in this case, England – is not really the country they think it is. On this score, I would suggest they stop shouting for a minute, and go and read Orwell’s The Lion and the Unicorn: as concise a portrait of the often unlikely gentleness that still informs most British people’s view of the world as anyone has ever penned, light years from the kind of eternally angry, unhinged sensibility now being sold to whoever will buy – Fox, Breitbart, Trump and his circle – as an authentic version of our modern national character.
None of this, incidentally, is intended to suggest that what happened on Wednesday, or on 7 July 2005, or any of the cases in which the security services have frustrated terror plots, are not frightening beyond words, or that Islamist extremism is not an evil that has to be confronted, again and again...but the actions of a lone murderer do not say anything about religious communities that comprise millions of people; whatever its tensions, Britain is really not a hair’s breadth away from some giant social meltdown.
Perhaps the most comical thing about these commodity-trading, insurance-selling, Trump-loving populists is how little time they spend complaining about the elements of our national life that really do threaten society’s basic functioning: their country’s appalling shortage of housing, its inhumane benefits system, its often shabby and unreliable public transport, or a system of care for elderly people that is failing fast. Such, perhaps, are subjects that will always be ignored by the kind of people who, as the comedian Stewart Lee said of Jeremy Clarkson, have outrageous, politically incorrect opinions for money. Crass nonsense brings in the fees; serious politics is always someone else’s burden.

It is Hopkins' skewed views that have helped contribute to Brexit and the rise in hate crime.
What is her problem with immigrants? They're here because we don't have enough indigenous people of working age to deliver the services we require, ergo 1.2 million unemployed but 3 million EU immigrants.

True. But whilst he says the odd thing by and large he's just a fog horn imho.
Jesus, can't believe I'm debating who's the least while of Hopkins and Morgan. Happy Friday!

I always thought that 'sink estate' refers to housing areas where you see numerous houses with white goods in the front garden, sinks, washing machines, fridges etc.
As for the article, it reads like it was written by a teenager who's just found a thesaurus. Absolute drivel.
if Katie Hopkins and Joey Barton got it together, could you imagine the essays written by the OFFSPRING.

Most people seem to be unaware of how similar the ideals of Islamic fundamentalists and far-right people are. Both groups are full of loathing, and both groups share huge amounts of intolerance towards others. Both groups are authoritarian and want a crackdown on [insert gripe here]. Both groups use propaganda extensively to try and get across their ignorant messages to the easily deluded in society. Both groups resort to violence when they don't get their own way.
To me they are one and the same. Tell Katie Hopkins that her perspective on life is similar in many ways to those of the extremist fanatics...she would doubtless discombobulate.

For the record the term ghetto originated from a Jewish area of Venice .......carnaggio I think. It meant any area where the minority race of that city lived.
Not sure why its meaning originated into a rough or slum area. I blame Elvis Presley.

The far right and Islamic fundamentalists are indeed different sides of the same coin, fascism for the modern day.
How long did you have to wait before spotting something that would let you jump in and undermine the mojo? I admire your patience. So, your views on the rest of the comments about the Hopkins?
Yes, almost. It was FORCED to live. Nobody* forces anyone to live anywhere in London. There are therefore no ghettos.
*Market forces and affordability of housing doesn't count. Although, perhaps some (tory) councils relocating their homeless oop north does count as ghettoisation....
Hats off to the Hopkins for generating an internet thread, where 99% of people agree (that she's a c unt) and 1% wait on the sidelines to throw their solied inderwear at the forst person to mention Brexit. FFS. And chuckle among themselves about getting one over the snowflakes. Again.
The woman is a genius.
