Can't stand her either, don't believe she actually believes 95% of what she says. Also obviously the Sun is toilet paper.

I must say though, I find the reaction to her interesting. I'm starting to think we are a culture that enjoys being offended and people like her are actually providing a service. We all know that if we ignore her she would go away, as she would no longer sell papers. But we don't.

more why do media outlets give her the time of day.  Why has LBC even given her an interview?  don't ask for her opinion, and no-one hears it.

Opinions sell stuff basically, if they didn't she wouldn't be there.

Opinions don't sell stuff. No one would buy a newspaper for my 'I feel very sorry for those migrants' opinion.

Controversial opinions sell certain newspapers to certain people.

We aren't disagreeing.

Last week LBC were advertising her coming on the station .....she was standing in for the usual presenter on Sunday morning show, so she was "pre booked".

I didnt hear the show, but in the clip I heard, she seemed to pull back from incitement,(legal advise?) and was arguing for the (also) controversial, but relatively successful Australian approach of towing back the boats .

Anybody care to mention anything she's said that they particularly disagree with?

I would never go near her page other than possibly to make a list of advertised products to boycott, but apparently an analogy involving cockroaches and immigrants is the point of contention.

Rescue boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants
These people are desperate for help. Using instruments of war as a response is a vile reaction.

Make no mistake, these migrants are like cockroaches. no, they're human beings and dehumanising them like this is disgusting They might look a bit ‘Bob Geldof’s Ethiopia circa 1984’, cold but they are built to survive a nuclear bomb. They are survivors no they're not, they're dying.

No, I don’t care. Show me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad. I still don’t care. Horrendous statement.

Because in the next minute you’ll show me pictures of aggressive young men at Calais, spreading like norovirus on a cruise ship … another disgusting dehumanisation These two populations are the same. The migrants harassing Brit truckers at the port are the same as the vagrants making the perilous trip across the Med. out of desperation to save their own lives.

Well said Adam.

Sadly, I think you'll find Katie Hopkins views are more widely shared than anyone would care to imagine.

Sadly, I think you're right

It's this bit that makes my blood boil the most:
No, I don’t care. Show me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad. I still don’t care.

A friend of a friend posted this picture on facebook to illustrate the point.
How does this not just absolutely crush you?
