More disgraceful racist anti Glasgow bile from Hopkins.

Police are examining complaints about Ebola comments tweeted by controversial TV personality Katie Hopkins.

Following news that a Scots nurse was being treated for the virus, she wrote: "Sending us Ebola bombs in the form of sweaty Glaswegians just isn't cricket."

Another tweet said: "Glaswegian ebola patient moved to London's Royal Free Hospital. Not so independent when it matters most are we jocksville?"

I'm sure there's plenty more where that shite came from to keep them busy.

It would be nice if they did some proper police work instead of wasting time and money on crap like this.

Richard1960 · 31/12/14 - 12:52

Have the police nothing better to do then investigate this bore form the apprentice .zzzzzzzz.;-)

Where's the racism? Are Glaswegians a race?

TheTruth1983 · 31/12/14 - 12:54

She is a detestable shit and her tweets were immensely stupid, but I fail to see where police investigation is merited.

Si_Crewe · 31/12/14 - 12:54

I guess Katie wasn't paying attention to the results of the recent referendum.

I hope the police treat those complaints about her tweets with the contempt they deserve.

Sorry but I'm making a gloating exception here.

On the other hand it will give her more shite to write about.

Hang on, isn't the OP the person who declared he had reported somebody on here the other day for some comment perceived as an anti-Glaswegian slight?

Its blatant racism, not for the first time from her, would it be OK if she was saying it about people from Tokyo or nairobi?

On what grounds should the police be getting involved in a couple of online tweets said about Glasgow then?

People think it OK to put the boot into poor run down cities as if they are nothing. Usually privelaged spoilt brats like her that do it.
People like us who grew up in working class slums are not here to be sh@t on like this for no reason, we are not gonna take it.

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.

The Police shouldn't be bothering with tripe like this. At best it's a waste of time, at worst it's really quite sinister.

A "disg" race, according to Hopkins.

"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.

To allow me to gloat, which was exactly what I said.

tellywatcher73 · 31/12/14 - 13:06

I have seen cases of Joe public being investigated for less and if it's reported, then it has to be looked at. It is offensive but no more than any of the other twaddle the attention seeking idiot puts out there. Just to be clear, I am a resident of "Jocksville".

Semierotic · 31/12/14 - 13:06

The 'Independence' comment doesn't even make sense. Scotland isn't independent, as per the recent referendum.

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.

Well Hopkins gets her work through "shock " factor talking and publicity if she was totally ignored instead of this then she would go away.

She thrives on publicity and what are the police and we doing..................... Yes correct giving her the oxygen of publicity.:(

"Little sweaty jocks"

Have heard similar comments relating to other nationalities before and they tend to be a big no-no.

Hey there!
