    The whole column about machine gunning immigrants in boats calling them a virus and cockroaches is just as hateful as any islamic terrorist speeches and should be treated as such.

    She shouldn't get away with hate speech just because she's white and a celeb.

    As somebody who has created a career for herself out of being obnoxious, isn’t the best thing to ignore her completely ?

    That the country has more idiots and buffoons than it does compassionate people appalled by hate-filled, ignorant rants :frowning:

    I have seen it suggested that Hopkins epilepsy and the part of her brain that is apparently missing may have had an effect on her social skills - a form of psychopathy. She therefore lacks the empathy "gene" that most of us have. The suggestion was that The Sun are actually exploiting her mental condition to appeal to a section of their readership.

    I don't think it's 'liberal' to be offended by her words, used against the desperate and displaced. I think it's called being a civilised human being.

    Vile woman but unfortunately it seems the hate bar has been risen by UKIP and she is just trying to take it even further.

    There's definitely something not quite right with her (obvious I know). When she was on Big Brother if anyone paid her a compliment she was either close to tears or actually cried but would thrive on any criticism.

    Katie Hopkins is as much the person she portrays in the Sun as Steve Coogan is Alan Partridge. These obnoxious celebrities (Brooker is the left wing version) just create personas and know they will continue to get bookings on mediocre shows desperate for some headline time if they keep saying the right thing. Think about how much money Hopkins has made, and how much the Sun has made, through this persona.

    That is what it is, a persona,Katie Hopkins, Karl Pilkington, Joey Essex, Jeremy Clarkson, these people know exactly what they are doing.

    Charlie Brooker would find you're description of him as a left wing Katie Hopkins extremely funny. Totally wrong - but none the less funny.

    Though I am sure he would be the first to admit he plays up certain characteristics compared to his 'actual' personality.

    Yeah Huskaris is spot on. She's a professional troll. Media outlets get her "opinions" as it's guaranteed hits on their website or viewers on TV. Everyone getting annoyed at it is just like shouting "quick come here and have a look at what she's said now". Just ignore it and she'll soon disappear

    Wow. Hope that's tounge-in-cheek or it's probably one of the most idiotic things I've read in a long time

    Shame that the SoBL have completely failed to understand how Katie Hopkins operates. She will be loving this. She says stupid, offensive tripe to get a reaction because her nasty lizard brain thinks love and attention are the same thing. Every time Twitter reacts another year gets added to her life. I wouldn't be surprised to hear this very public letter has given her the power of flight.

    If everyone just ignored her and let her spout off like a tramp on the high street with a can of Special Brew she'd disappear. But then being outraged is a lifestyle choice now so that will never happen.

    This this this this and this!

    I've liked and Loled cos you can't like twice!

    I'd flag as well but I don't want to create more paperwork for AFKA.

    She would disappear but the views/outlook she represents would not.

    Sadly you are right. When you look at the most popular newspapers in this country, it makes you wonder if the British reputation for tolerance is deserved.

    The difference is what Charlie Brooker says , whether you agree with him or not , is clever , satirical and nearly always funny. Hopkins is none of those. she opens her mouth and out gushed bile. There is no comparison.

    Someone of a different political persuasion would flip those names round in that sentence.
