To think Katie Hopkins has gone too far this time to tweet about low life expectancy in Scotland.

She's a hired gun, I get that she's paid to be provocative but tweeting about a low life expectancy in Scotland in derogatory terms yesterday of all days is a comment too far. There's a twitter storm about her comments and a petition asking tv channels to not use her services again. I hope they take notice.

I was going to ask what she had said but tbh i really dont want to know she is a vile media whore who really needs to just SHUSH she rambles on and on ,

MrsRajeshKoothrappali · 01/12/2013 16:59

I don't think she knows what she's saying though.

I think she's a bit of a vacuum and will just parrot phrases that she's been told.

She doesn't seem properly capable of thinking for herself.

:(

The day I read/listen to anything spewing forth from Hopkins is the day I hang up my hat.

She is both horrible AND stupid.

Can you not see the irony in giving her this thread?

TheCrackFox · 01/12/2013 17:13

If we all just ignore her then she will eventually go away.

EweHaveGoatToBeKiddin · 01/12/2013 17:15

I naively think/hope it was nothing to do with the Clutha incident. She just picked a bad day to post a bad comment.

Also, life expectancy in Scotland is 76 i believe, not 56 ...

ArtisanLentilWeaver · 01/12/2013 17:17

Who is she?

I have seen her name on threads but have no idea who she is.

Misspixietrix · 01/12/2013 17:26

I think she knows exactly what she is saying. She says it to grab attention because otherwise we would all ignore her. It is the only reason tv channels hire her, because they think she is going to up their ratings. This Morning especially needs to know that whenever Miss Rent a Gob is on I'm the first to switch over, As are many.

BlingBang · 01/12/2013 17:44

Ha, was watching The Wright Stuff this week and she was forever ranting at Mn - twas quite funny. She is just a rent a gob and probably doesn't even believe half she says but she needs to eat and pay the bills and here you are OP supporting her.

hiddenhome · 01/12/2013 17:49

I wonder if she'd like people to comment on her life expectancy Hmm I'm actually quite surprised that she's survived as long as she has given how thick she is.

LittleBairn · 01/12/2013 17:53

She's such an ignorant thick cow. I'd rather live a shorter life than be her.

cannotfuckingbelievethis · 01/12/2013 20:09

She's a fucking idiot. The best we can do is switch off when she comes on and don't give her a voice.

UnicornsNotRiddenByGrownUps · 01/12/2013 20:17

She's a fucking idiot but she did tweet it before that terrible accident... It surely can't be factually accurate either.

Mintyy · 01/12/2013 20:19

All of her tweets and opinions are offensive. I can't understand why you think this is worse than some of her others.

IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE the little troll and she will eventually go away.

Infact, could you ask hq to delete this thread? You are just giving her the oxygen of publicity.

ILetHimKeep20Quid · 01/12/2013 21:31

She tweeted it yesterday, after the accident.

Quoteunquote · 01/12/2013 21:51

yeast infection,

cover in yogurt and ignore.

ExcuseTypos · 01/12/2013 21:55

Could anyone like to the petition to keep her off TV, I'd love to sign itSmile

JemR234 · 01/12/2013 21:58

She's a disgrace. This Morning should never have her on their show again. Nobody else would get away with that and keep working in TV.

SantaIKnowHimIKnowHim · 01/12/2013 21:59

What Twitter dog said, IGNORE!!! Smile she knows exactly what she's doing.

Screamqueen · 01/12/2013 22:00

She's a fucking idiot but she did tweet it before that terrible accident

No she didn't, the accident was 10.25 pm on Friday and she didn't tweet it until last night. Its all very well saying ignore but that comment was very offensive and would be extremely hurtful to anyone who was waiting to hear news of their loved ones.

jonicomelately · 01/12/2013 22:01

She's on BBC radio all the time. If I had the time I'd ask the BBC how much of our licence fee she receives, under the Freedom of Information Act.

timidviper · 01/12/2013 22:03

She is somewhat extreme in her opinions but there are a lot of people whose opinions I dislike, that doesn't mean they should be silenced. Just ignore her but her right to free speech is exactly the same as yours or mine

SantaIKnowHimIKnowHim · 01/12/2013 22:08

Didn't 'get' the accident and the tweet timing when reading the original post. Sad Sincerely hope it was just an unfortunate timing.

TooTabooToBOOOOO · 01/12/2013 22:10

She's a twat.

ILetHimKeep20Quid · 01/12/2013 22:10

She has been downright racist with some of her tweets about Scotland and Scottish people.
