To think that troll Katie Hopkins has sank to a new low?

[VodkaKnockers]

Making comments on Scottish life expectancy on a day when 8 Glaswegians have lost their lives in the helicopter crash.

Will that woman do anything for attention?

[Screamqueen]

I saw this...there really are no words! Regardless of how inappropriate her "joke" was, it was also very nasty, I'm Scottish and I don't particularly appreciate being described as "that lot"!!!

[caruthers]

I don't watch her to get annoyed about her.

[Screamqueen]

I dont watch her either caruthers - her comments were on twitter which someone had re-posted on my facebook.

[TheArticFunky]

I think she is a few paninis short of a picnic. Totally lacking in emotional intelligence.

[VodkaKnockers]

Normally I just ignore her but my twitter & FB feeds are chock-a-block with responses to her and their are not pleasant.

God help her if she sets foot here as I think she will be give a few 'Glesga Kisses!'

[Buttercup4]

She is disgusting. It's infuriating that any TV show would book her.

[HerlockSholmes]

she's a clart.

i wish she would disappear back to the obscure hole she came from so i could stop hearing about her.

[VodkaKnockers]

One of the most Glaswegian response I ready was:

Away and get pumped in a field ya daft bun!

[Financeprincess]

Aren't you just giving her the oxygen of publicity, which presumably is what she wants?

[Littlecurrentbun]

She's a bitch. What a disgust she is.

[thepig]

Why would anyone NOT book her is the more pertinent question.

This thread is exactly why commercial, ratings-driven tv will continue to pay her well.

She's just a professional like kelvin mckenzie et al, and she's not going away anytime soon because she's the best-fed troll in the land right now.

*professional troll

[Merel]

You are promoting her nonsense and her career by even referring and drawing attention to her. YABU

[neiljames77]

I know people say any publicity is good publicity but why would anyone want to portray themselves as such a horrible bastard?
Unless it's because it's panto season and we're looking for a villian,

[Bettercallsaul1]

Unfortunately, her calculated attempts to stir up controversy are a marketable asset - her only one.

The only dignified response to her "views" is to deny them any reaction at all.

[WandaDoff]

I pity her children.

[caruthers]

People seem to love a good villain.

Ignore her and she goes away.

[neiljames77]

Who's her audience or target subject though?
Men and women in equal measure deem her as an out and out twat.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I sometimes wonder if threads such as these aren't started by her pr team. I certainly wasn't aware of her commented until now.

If not well - her pr team have an easy job don't they.

She is, if nothing else, very good at what she does.

[VodkaKnockers]

I get what you are all saying but surely there is a line and she has just leap frogged over it?

People have died. There are 8 families who will be in mourning this Christmas and this idiot is using this as a publicity tool?

It is thoughtless and down right cruel to those 8 families who are dealing with tragedy.

[beansbeansgoodfortheheart]

She knows what she is doing.

Don't feed the trolls.

[JapaneseMargaret]

I had no idea about her comments, and would most likely have stayed in blissful ignorance of them ... but for this thread...

Why publicise her bile?

[Fakebook]

She's a joke! Obviously following a script to drum up outrage. I can't really get worked up about her because to me, she's a non-entity. If someone important starting spouting the same shit then I'd be worried.

[vtechjazz]

Her TV appearances are always so stale and staged, she had obviously been practicing all her little sound bites in the mirror.
