Katie Hopkins Strikes Again!

[andy-hughes]

"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?

"It happens from time to time on AB". Does it? B****y hell, knock me over with a feather!

Don't acknowledge the pointless's Lady's existence... easiest way of dealing with it

I rather like "put-raged". It kind of makes sense if you try hard enough..

divebuddy - "I thought that the twitter response to anything said by a non lefty was automatically an outraged meltdown."

I am unable to comment, I don't have a Twitter account - I do not operate on any social media sites.

[ummmm]

Except this one, Andy :-)

[Slapshot]

She is a media hog.... she used to work for us ripped our commercial department apart then got into bother with her sha&&ing exploits in fields with a married colleague.... she's only interested in column inches

[mccfluff]

good example of hate bait from divebuddy....

[tiggerblue10]

ho ho ho, don't you just love this season of goodwill?
I don't know who KH is. I thought she was that woman with the fake boobs, plastic surgery and lots of ex husbands. I had to google the name to find out. Both seem to crave publicity then?

who and what is Katie Hopkins?
