There was a poor child that commited suicided after relentless bullying for having ginger hair, he even dyed it. Comments like Katie's are not helpful and wrong.

She has said stay at home mothers are lazy, their brains have turned to mush. A few weeks ago she attacked School gate mums, saying they cannot discuss anything deeper than spaghetti hoops or which brand of socks stay up best.

If a man had made these statements they'd never work in TV again.
She was saying that about the wife of the husband she stole, who was a stay at home mother.

I'm amazed so many of you are so outraged at what she has to say. Surely 90% of the general public know she's a troll but it's the 10% including members in here that respond to her, post on newspaper article sections, which not only gives her the attention she craves but also money! That's why she constantly appears in newspapers, they pay her money, she trolls the public, the public respond, the newspaper gets money, they ask for her back and the cycle continues!
We are aware of this but have you got the solution to get rid of her off our screens and newspapers.

Liz Jones is still there, all this new crop of Wednesday witches so is notoriety the new basics for a career in feature writing.

The trouble is Katie Hopkins makes her opinions appear to be acceptable. "Ginger Haired babies are harder to love", justifies the school playground bully picking on red heads. It isn't new, I was at school with someone who was bullied because her boyfriend had ginger hair. People admire her because she makes their bigotry justified.

She's a bore. She's figured out that the more stupid her comments are, the more exposure she gets. I question why "This Morning" in particular keep giving her a platform.

This. People really do just need to stop responding in any way to her.

As for This Morning, they've proven over and over that they actively despise their own audience. ITV in general show nothing but contempt for the very viewers who keep the channel afloat.

I can't imagine Richard Madeley letting her get away with that if he was still on This Morning...

In that case, if you really want her to go away it's perhaps better not contribute to threads on here about her?

I can't stand her, but by contributing to the ignorance in the world with her ridiculous outpourings she makes herself a talking point and that's exactly what she wants.

We're doing it here.

I didn't even know who she was until last week with that head to head with Peaches Geldof.

The comments about school gate Mums were made this year, sorry for not providing a link I'm using my phone.

Were the original comments she made about stay at home mothers " wearing frilly clothes and pureeing everything" directed at the wife of the husband she stole ?

Katie would despise me, formerly a proud breastfeeding, surplus milk donating stay at home mother

I think advising people not to directly respond ("what Katie just said is awful", etc) is rather different from actually feeding her. I know she loves ALL of the attention, I'm just frustrated with people who play into her hands so easily.

She loves attention, she loathes real debate, she uses personal insults or cuts people dead. She like being called horse face or worse.

She's made a very ill-timed comment about Glaswegian's life expectancy. Possibly the first time she's actually apologised though.

Her joke was clearly unrelated to the crash, and just ill timed, but at least she did admit this, and apologised.

See, she's not all bad

Yes, that's true, but the connection was there.

She posted the comment after the crash happened, so unless she'd suddenly gone blind she couldn't have missed a front page news story. She should have been more circumspect, but she's not exactly known for that quality is she? No apology until today, when after reposting it again and wondering why people are up in arms and getting up online petitions, she suddenly realises it was ill-timed, and tells people the Tweet was about an NHS document on the health of Glaswegians.

Big 'Doh!' on Katie's part this time.

She suggested life expectancy in Scotland is 59.5. The real figure I presume is closer to 80.

This is the document in question. The life expectancy is for boys born in 2010 to live on average to 76.3 years, and to the age of 59 in 'a healthy state'. Girls born in 2010 would be expected to live 80.7 years on average, 61.9 of these years being ‘healthy’.

Katie Hopkins 'apologises' for bad timing for offensive tweet re Glasgow helicopter crash.

She didn't know it was in Scotland until Sunday?
She is not very good at this random offensiveness is she?

Basically she's saying she's apologising because people she knows (i.e. her agent) have said this time she went way too far. She sounds like Kevin the teenager.
