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.

You've only got to remember the vile way the lefties "celebrated" Maggie Thatcher's death to realise what an unsavoury bunch of miserable excuses for normal human beings they are.

600,000 people in the UK have epilespy, most people know someone with the condition. They would not perform the surgery if it were dangerous for her. The success rate is very high. The write "the odds aren't great" is not at all accurate.
I understand Ms Hopkins is tweeting to her fans now she is "on the other side" of her surgery. So it appears no harm has been done to her.

When did simply saying stuff become admirable?
Remember years ago when we had intelligent informed analysis from a variety of SMEs (subject matter experts), across different media outlets, musing on art, politics, the environment, music etc...
Now in 2016 we have gotten to a point where someone can gain notoriety simply by appearing on The Apprentice, then spending months...saying stuff.
...about anything.
And everything.
All the time.
Constantly.
The thing that I find curious is that literally everyone with access to the Internet could do the same as Katie Hopkins. All you need to do is set up a blog and away you go.
And the weird thing about Katie Hopkins is that I would be put serious money that every single one of us knows someone who is a darn sight cleverer than her.
On This Morning, she was berating women who name their children after place names.
Philip Schofield looked taken aback, and blurted out..."But your daughter is called India!"
Hopkins replied..."Yes, but that's not a place."
I'm not making that up.

But to be honest...let's she makes a full recovery. She had a very nasty epileptic fit last year (which she wrote about at length after the event), and it all sounds very dangerous.
She was lucky to have stranger come to her assistance...but if she were at home alone, walking down the stairs for instance, it might not have had such a happy outcome.

/// It was AOG replying to Islay.
In quite an ungentlemanly manner. ///
How can one be gentlemanly to a person who wishes harm to come to a person such as Kate Hopkins who after all is just a journalist, not a sadistic killer.
I can imagine your response if it had been I who had posted that and not Islay?

sp1814 - I have to agree with your stance on this.
Ms. Hopkins is the forefront of 'hate bait' journalism.
It's not informative, or balanced comment, it simply takes the most obvious and controversial line and expands on it ad nauseum. Getting public reaction from doing that is considerable easier than shooting fish in a barrel, and about as edifying.
Just because you are saying what 'some people are thinking' does not make what some people are thinking right, it just makes them feel self-righteous, which is a very different thing indeed.
Ms Hopkins has parlayed her ability to zero in on aspects of culture which raise the ire of a section of the public, and then whip them up with it.
She is the journalistic equivalent of chucking a bucket of petrol on a house fire - it doesn't tend to improve the overall situation.
As I have advised, I wish her well, but I don't wish she was back writing her nonsense.

When I entered this thread it was primarily to inform fellow ABers of the fact that Katie Hopkins had undergone life threatening surgery to cure an epilepsy condition, and also to give others the chance of wishing her a full recovery.
However some have chosen to use this thread as a vehicle just to *** off Ms Hopkins, which I find most repulsive, so I offer them this advice, if you have nothing to say regarding her condition or well being then please don't bother to comment at all.
May I remind those and especially that person who is forever telling others not to steer threads off course that, "that practice is against Site Rules".
