They seem to be keeping it a bit quiet...

Fuller report here (not a DM link)

Ha! Serves them right, and it's about time they were called to account for the hateful bile they pour out (particularly regarding Muslims)

I feel this should move into active again.

Absolutely, OYBBK.

Hopkins always likes attention. So it would be a shame if this didn't get enough.Grin

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/12/2016 19:40

It's good to help people.

Arf at sending it out at 2am in the morning. Did she think no-one would notice it?
Yeah, fat chance lol Grin

Clearly having to apologise left a lasting impression...

Well, at least libel / civil law is effective against her diatribes of hate - she skates around criminal law.

I'm still outraged that she called Syrian refugees "cockroaches" without being prosecuted.
The Fail described the decision not to charge her as "Cops get attack of common sense at last:"
She and the Fail are a horrible pairing of hate.

It's legitimate to debate whether you accept / refuse refugees, but not to demonise them like that, to try to justify refusing them.

Agreed, BigChoc

Shouldnt she be in America by now schmoozing with Donald Trump?
She did say she was going to go if he won.

You shouldnt get our hopes up Katie if you arent going to keep your word. Go on, maybe he owns a field or two Xmas Smile

Rumours that she's been summoned to see the top brass at the Mail. She must have cost them in the region of £250K, given that they would have had to pay costs on top of the £150K damages, and the claimants were represented by Carter Ruck who do not come cheap.

I like the way she showed sympathy for the victims of the Berlin attack in her tweets.

Hang on a moment, that's not what she did....

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 20/12/2016 14:11

Surely a forced apology is pointless? The DM will have gained more than it lost and so will KH.

originalmavis · 20/12/2016 15:29

She will be being egged on by her editor. She can't just do this without the green light, so domeobeust think they are on solid ground. All PR I suppose.

What was her Big Plan in the apprentice anyway? Charm school?

Flanderspigeonmurderer · 20/12/2016 19:40

Fame and attention I assume.
