Katie Hopkins Strikes Again!
36 Answers
"I couldn't give a monkeys if the CIA did terrible things to suspected terrorists. Kept in coffin sized boxes? Ant 'n'Dec did worse to 'Slebs..."
I am again intrigued by the notion of 'hate bait' in the media.
Katie Hopkins, who has turned hate bait into a profession, tweets the above observation regarding the torture of terror suspects by the CIA.
Now I don't for one moment believe that a woman of Ms. Hopkins' intelligence seriously believes that this piffle is a valid comparison - so why does she post things like this?
Can you really make a career out of poking the populace with a stick by Twitter, in the same way that one would poke a sleeping cobra, and then wait for the reaction?
Why do we as a culture allow this nonsense to go on - not that she posts, that bit I understand - but that people will rise to it and give her the publicity she craves?

I disagree.
If I were to rant away on Twitter, or as a national paper columnist, that would be offering publicity - I am merely seeking some opinions and viewpoints.

/Oh right, if you want to debate what she said. /
He didn't.
andy's question is clearly about KH and the issue of 'hate-bait' in the media.
that is probably why he posted in 'media and tv' not 'News'
/ I agree with her./
PMSL I don't believe even KH actually agrees with her own drivel so well done there svejk.
She posts stupid and inflammatory remarks simply to justify her miserable existence.
What's your excuse svejk?
