Katie Hopkins Puts Her Foot In

[trt]

it again!

Just not the right time to say it I suppose!

There is no right time to say something so nasty. She is a self obsessed, conceited, obnoxious waste of space who is best ignored, so hopefully she will crawl back under the stone she emerged from.

[sherrardk]

I don't know why they keep giving her media time and I certainly don't understand why the DM chose to publicise her stupid opinions at such a terrible time for the people involved.

[anneasquith]

I feel sorry for anyone like her who makes a living for being stupid, please god her children don't inherit her genes,

[sunny-dave]

Jesus wept - who did she find to breed with her ... ?

[Jeza]

I didn't see what she said about Glasgow, but I did see an interview with her about food banks and the new shops that are appearing where people on benefit can buy food 70% cheaper than you or I. I will see if I can find a link.

Here it is....

[sherrardk]

Here you go Jeza, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2517003/Katie-Hopkins-makes-Twitter-joke-Scottish-life-expectancy-Glasgow-helicopter-crash.html

[sherrardk]

Just watched that Jeza, she really is objectionable. If I wasn't such a techno-idiot I would go on twitter to have a go at her.

[Jeza]

I don't do Twitter or Facebook either Sher. Not my bag.

[sherrardk]

I like FB, but don't get twitter - each to their own (and LinkedIn in just like FB for grown ups).

// I certainly don't understand why the DM chose to publicise her stupid opinions at such a terrible time for the people involved.//

She works for the Sun, so the Mail is always trying to make her look like a horrible 6itch. It doesn't have to try too hard.

[sp1814]

Seriously mis-timed statement. Twitter is a great medium for making yourself look an idiot in front of a lot of people in a very short space of time. If she had stopped for a minute and thought about what she was going to tweet, she may have reconsidered, because the timing was terrible - but I honestly don't think she meant to mock those who died over the weekend.

By the way, from the report:

"The TV personality is well-known as a controversialist"

Since when was 'controversialist" a job title???

[murraymints]

The woman needs putting away in a cupboard somewhere....nasty bit of self obsessed opinionated selfish pain in the a@@e..

[Gromit]

Apart from the bad timing, it is factually inaccurate.

// Men in Scotland are expected to live for 76 years and women for 80 years. //

[youngmafbog]

Face book and twitter; tools of the Devil.

[Kromovaracun]

She just wants attention. And she got it.

[andy-hughes]

More 'hate bait' from the Mail.

This foolish woman does leave herself wide open with her lack of an ability to think outside her own orbit, but the best way to handle people like this is simply to ignore her.

Ms Hopkins' 'media career' depends entirely on reaction to her nonsense - if we ignore, she will go away.

[jno]

like sp1814, I doubt this was a response to the Glasgow crash; not everybody has such things in the forefront of their mind. As jokes go, it was no worse than the usual moaning about "sweaties" you get on AB.

[douglas9401]

Just another obnoxious, braying mouthpiece who is given the opportunity to spout by cynical editors and producers with an eye on the sales figures.
Best ignored, like a yapping dog.

[ludwig]

// I honestly don't think she meant to mock those who died over the weekend. //

To be fair to her, there's no question of that. Just terrible timing.
