her tweets are getting more and more offensive arent they? I can smell desperation. ..when you're entire career is based on how long people think your offensive opinion amongst many ..are worth retweeting and getting outraged about,its like a very tedious game of musical chairs and one day there won't be a seat,shes a creature to be pitied, and cut off the oxygen.

Why did I click? Why?!
I think this goes beyond trolling, its just vile. Its as if Hopkins has no understanding or empathy whatsoever. |

The thing is, if you compare her to Josie Cunningham, it's proof that people like this can be successfully ignored to the point where they become something of an irrelevance. Cunningham's recent arrest and subsequent charges have passed by with barely a blip, so i do think if there was a concerted effort to ignore Hopkins then she would get the message in the end - she'd likely post something far, far more offensive than she ever has done in a last ditch effort to stay visible, but i think ultimately she can be ignored. |

Jason ^ Yes, absolutely!!!
She's burning herself out. To kill off anything incendiary, you deny it fuel. As for her 'little t***' remark- well, takes one to know one. |

A certain young woman from my neck of the woods has been spotted pounding the streets with headphones on, shadow boxing and singing the theme tune to Rocky in an 'aria' voice this morning.

I dedicate this poem by the legendary John Cooper Clarke to Katie Hopkins (though it is still more attention that what she deserves)

How would she like it if some vile troll mocked her epilepsy the way she mocks autism?
Katie belongs to a disability group herself, she's just bitter because she didn't get that military career she desperately wanted. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu4fiRFhC-4 ![]() Don't know much JCC, but seeing him supporting Squeeze this year so hope he does this one! Might even shout out a request for it....and hope I don't get chucked out for verbal abuse. |

Much as her comments disgust me, what's a trillion times worse about her is, she doesn't give a stuff about what she says, the nastier the better & she doesn't give a rat's a**e who she's hurting, her ignorance is shocking, she doesn't consider her children & she has become so hated that she has a panic button.
Being in the headlines, seems to be her priority above everything. She's pitiful. |

I suppose it's perhaps a little reassuring that she can't believe the tripe she spouts, and it's just for attention/ratings/money.
Of course that's no excuse, but at least there's hope for humanity. Unless she DOES believe what she says, in which case we're well and truly f.... |

Yes, but people like this seem to be more common as they generate page clicks, views etc.
Thus, publishers can see the value in giving them a mouthpiece. That's ultimately what's wrong here. People like Katie Hopkins have existed for some time, but we generally ignored them - not give them a regular column. Twitter obviously plays a part too. Anyone can talk to the world and say whatever they like. |

I love her. I think she's brilliant. She was great on The Apprentice and no one really knows the true Katie - it's all an act!
Personally the whole point is that she's making these outrageous points to MAKE A POINT. That's the point! |

Maybe, but being highly offensive for the sake of it (or to further a career) isn't actually entertaining or funny. She's offended real people who aren't 'getting the joke'.
Anyone can be offensive. It's not exactly difficult. |

I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for her now.
She's more than a little damaged I think. |

She might be smart, but she's not that smart. In that vein, you have to be pretty skilled in 'doublethink' to get it, then, and most people aren't. They see as they find. She kept up the 'act' pretty well for several weeks on CBB, then. Where's her BAFTA? She's an attention addict; can't read much more into her behaviour than that. |

That she's a desperately unhappy woman who failed at business, who clearly hates herself and who tweets a never ending pile of drivel in her quest for attention and notoriety? Ah, OK, I see what the point is now - thanks for the clarity. |

Being in the headlines, seems to be her priority above everything. She's pitiful. I actually hate the press for using her as a tool to fuel hatred far more than I dislike Hopkins herself. She's just one daft woman. The press know exactly what they're doing by giving her a platform and parroting her nonsense and it's disgusting and shameful. I try to acknowledge her as little as is humanly possible to avoid playing into her and the press' hands. |
