Well she get what she sows, she has a history of not being very nice to people she dislikes and it is unsurprising people are not very nice to her
There is quite a difference between 'not very nice' and 'she's a dogface bh' though!

Mind you, she is white and straight, so she is not allowed to be offended.
I'm white and straight and I'm allowed to be offended. Katie Hopkins offends me. I think she represents a cancer in our society. She lets narrow-minded bigots think their views are normal rather than the result of personal moral failure.

That's very noble of her.

I wonder what could have prompted Katie "Already had to pay out £600k once after being sued for posting garbage on Twitter" Hopkins to post such a fulsome apology/retraction? scratchchin
I don't think she can afford any more.

Looks like most of that paragraphs in apology has been drafted by the lawyers for the mosque.

She's pure poison.

She is just the other side of the coin. There is equal poison on both sides of that particular coin, not a currency I wish to have in my hand.

It's a damning reflection on our current "social media" society that this woman is recognised at all.

The fact she is cited as an authoritative mouthpiece on various issues is astonishing.

Unless I'm mistaken, she was a failed contestant on The Apprentice years ago. How she has now reached a level where people seek her opinion on current events is mystifying.

Understand that her schtick is to be controversial, and if she can make a living out of it via the Daily Mail, fair play I suppose.

Everyone, (even the tabloid readers) know deep down that she is an idiot though? They must do.

And yet an --alleged indecent--- involving the PM's parents years ago is being "used" to politically smear the PM and gets used to promote a book.
As I said, the same "type of poison" is spread evenly on both sides.

The problem is, the people who idolise her are idiots as well. They feel comforted by the fact that an idiot like them can become famous and influential.

Of course idiots, don't know they're idiots. They think Hopkins "speaks the truth" without ever questioning that "truth". In reality, they just want to be told their biases and their prejudices are right and thus, will look for anyone or anything that will tell them this.

Wasn't addressing your particular point, but it is ridiculous how much faith people put in the media, especially tabloids, even though they know they will publish anything if it boosts their readership.

Yup, totally agree.

The fact that people were donating money to one of the Kardashians a couple of years ago, with the intent of making one of them the youngest ever billionaire is absolutely mad.

Think it was this:

The social media adoration has got to such a level, people who probably can't afford to spare much cash were sending money to someone already worth $900million to make them a billionaire.

It's crazy, beyond crazy.

Who is on the other side of the coin she’s on then?

There are several to be fair.

Whichever side you fall on, there are extremists. Hopkins would probably say she was a Conservative voter, but her views do not align with any of the Tories I know.

She is a nasty piece of work and seems to revel in it, God knows why after publically being taken to the cleaners by Jack Monroe.

I don't think she's stupid, appreciate that's possibly not quite what you're saying. She comes across to me as seriously unwell which makes it doubly grotesque that the media keep her in the spotlight.

If something doesn't change it feels like she's headed to dark places, at this point I'm sure that's just karma to many.

I find this part at the end of the Guardian piece mildly amusing.

"• This article was amended on 5 October 2020 to remove an incorrect statement that the mosque was the target of a far-right terrorist attack in 2017. This occurred at another mosque close by."

I mostly agree with this, I am not offended by her, but I am also not 'offended' by extreme lefties/antifa/BLM/Marxists. I just don't agree with them. I guess I am not easily offended. She is really not much different to your Piers Morgans of the world, she just goes a little bit further.

As far as being a 'failed contestant on the Apprentice'. Surely just getting through the application process and getting selected for that show proves there is more to her than just being a dumb blonde.
