On the News Section we have seen Katie Hopkin's opinions both criticised or supported, but whatever your opinion of her, I am sure most of us will wish to convey all our good wishes along with every success on coming out of this surgery successfully cured of her dreadful epilepsy?

Get well soon Katie.

I'm not surprised it went, as Jack says people are free to state their views and it speaks volumes about them.

Retaliation is not needed, the comments stand alone.

[Mamyalynne]

I think you're right Ratter, the surgery is only helpful if the epilepsy affects a particular part of the brain.

I hope something comes along to help others too.

[mrblear]

I would have thought this was something that was best kept in the family but no, she thinks the world will be interested.....hang on it seems that people are.

[hc4361]

I thought her column about the McCann's this week was particularly hateful and unneccessary.

[Baldric]

I like her, she tells it the way it is, and I wish her a speedy recovery

[Retrochic]

That article about the McGanns was her opinion but one shared by many -it was not in any way 'hatefull'

[hc4361]

It was hateful, Kate Hopkins will write anything controversial for money.

[bazwillrun]

sooner she recovers sooner she can start dishing it out again to the liberal left do gooders...

Loved all the Answer Removed comments...gone but not forgotten !

[Cloverjo]

What would Ms Hopkins write if Kate and Gerry McCann said "ok, we know Madeleine must be dead by now. We'll stop looking for her and get on with our lives"? More vitriol, I expect.
I wish her well with her surgery, but I wish she'd stop writing.

[Islay]

Well what can I say!!

[sp1814]

Let's hope it's not one of those greedy junior doctors working on her.

[mrblear]

Nah, she'll have gone private (for once)

[Islay]

I can't remember did I wish her ill or did I just say that I didn't wish her well?

[Gromit]

Anyone about to have surgery is bound to be apprehensive, but Hopkins is either uninformed, or hyping it up a bit when she writes...

// The odds aren't great. As my psych here tells me, the price you pay to enter the casino of neuro-surgery is uncertainty. I’m not sure if that makes me feel better or worse. //

The medical advice is far more optimistic...

// Around 70% of people (7 in 10 people) who have temporal lobe surgery find that the surgery stops their seizures and they become seizure-free, and for a further 20% (1 in 5 people) their seizures are reduced. Around 50% of people (half) who have temporal lobe surgery are still seizure-free 10 years after their surgery. //

As usual with Hopkins, her opinion and the truth are often poles apart.

[Retrochic]

Gromit -you have no idea of her personal medical condition. To accuse a seriously ill person about to go for brain surgery of 'hyping it up' is truly nasty. You may dislike her but she's someones daughter,mother and wife.

[viv41]

I can't wait for her to be back to her writing again, always enjoy her articles.

Retrochic - //Gromit -you have no idea of her personal medical condition. To accuse a seriously ill person about to go for brain surgery of 'hyping it up' is truly nasty. //

In Gromit's defence, he did advise that Ms Hopkins may be uninformed, or 'hyping it up a bit' - and that is not the same as simply making more of her condition that is reasonable, based on the statistical evidence which he quotes.

Since Ms. Hopkins makes an extremely good living out of doing nothing but 'hyping up' some of the sadder aspects of our society and culture, I am sure she would be the last to take offence to someone pondering that she may be performing according to type here.

So I doubt she would feel the need for you to be quite so het up on her behalf.

[Retrochic]

She says what a lot of people think - and like others, get berated for it. She's not always right -and sometimes very wrong -but I admire the fact she tells it how she (thinks) it is. I hope she makes a speedy recovery

[TWR]

Kate, I may not be a fan of yours, but if you are looking in, I wish you a very speedy recovery & all the best.x
