Then Glaswegians, being the robust folk that they are, ought to challenge those comments instead of crying to the police and appealing to all and any other form of authority to get rid of the people making them.
The police must be sick of probing the mad bint. It was fat people yesterday. Today Glasgow people. Tomorrow she will be slagging someone else. She's not going anywhere as people love to hate her.
"Sweaty Glaswegians", " Jocksville", its racist and it offends me and my people, I hope the police investigate it fully and maybe a police caution would be appropriate.
Sweaty Glaswegians is not racist. Just as Thieving Scousers isn't racist.

Ker Ching you have got it.:)
I however just wish she would crawl away and find something useful to do with her life.
The replies to this tweet are about 50/50,
50% happy that the Police are dedicating their time to monitoring @KTHopkins,
50% saying it is a waste of Police time.

Please be aware that we will continue to monitor comments on social media & any offensive comments will be investigated. #
This is getting out of control now, people should be able to be as offensive as they like without the police getting involved. Two people were arrested for making jokes last week, is this really the sort of society we want to live in?

It's what we call a "pun" - in essence, a play on words for humourous effect.
The previous poster had asked if Glaswegians were a "race". Given Ms Hopkins' clear disdain for Glaswegians, I suggested that she considered them a race - a "disg" race, which can be contracted to form "disgrace". See what I did? ;-)
Like all trolls and keyboard warriors, they feel so safe tweeting from the comfort of their bedrooms, basements, dungeons, bridges, big houses in her case, probably,whatever....she's nothing different; just got a media profile, mainly for being a mean-spirited, snobby, vaguely nauseating but very savvy ar*e. I think a visit to Glasgow city centre to give her sophisticated opinions face to face would be a good idea.

That is the new liberalism for you. "Say what you want as long as I am not offended."

we definatley need new laws to protect freedom of speech in the constitution like in the usa
That isn't making a difference these days either as they have the same social justice warriors that we have who are bent on sanitising the world of everything they don't like.

It does make sense, it's merely a snide dig.
You have a link to that fact you're stating?

Police Scotland must have very little to do.
And 'offensive' according to who? That's what I would like to know.
No Anne, it was a general comment, not some statement of fact.
ETA: Which, I hasten to add, I truly hope she isn't!
wow talk about 1984 "we're watching you" police state
since when is 'offense' against the law?
creepy and sinister
You just want people investigated by the police for nothing, just because you don't like them and it gives you something to gloat about? Righty ho.

I'll pay for the ticket.

So it is racist?
Ignore her and she'll go away. Or she won't. Either way, it doesn't matter, you'll be ignoring her.
"Bwahhh! Somebody hurt my feelings! Ban them from teh internetz!!!!"
It's not racism unless Glaswegians are a race.
A left wing satire show like "Mock the Week" makes jokes regarding incest about people in East Anglia and nothing is done.
Then Hopkins, on Twitter, makes a comment about Glaswegians and suddenly "PC PC" of the Yard has to spend tax payers' money investigating her.
That isn't making a difference these days either as they have the same social justice warriors that we have who are bent on sanitising the world of everything they don't like.
