The Libyan migrants are "cockroaches", "skinny people looking sad" and "a plague of feral humans" who should have Gunships turned on them and the boats they're travelling in burned.

I'd like to hear Stan's thoughts on Ms Hopkins' views
She takes money to write these 'controversial' opinions, many of which she may not actually believe. Her complete lack of integrity is more damning than the drivel she writes.

Enough?
 
Don't they bang people up for speaking that kind of bollocks?

Who knows but I do know this. If anyone takes anything Katie Hopkins says seriously then I think they need sectioning under the mental health act or to get out more often, just like me!

Hopkins is a professional wum. Fair play to her for getting paid probably very good money to rile people. It's a pretty easy job it seems.

The good old BBC! This fella has resigned his position for obvious reasons but the Beeb still fail to recognise why. If this had been a tory or ukip MP or Member they wouldn't have held back. Lord Sewer was a Labour minister. ( Disclaimer... I'm not a tory ukip libdem or labour ... I just hate all politicians and their double standards.)

Lord Sewel resigns from House of Lords after drug 'claims'

Lord Sewel has resigned from the House of Lords after being filmed allegedly taking drugs with prostitutes.

Footage obtained by The Sun on Sunday appeared* to show the peer - who had been deputy speaker of the Lords - snorting powder* from a woman's breasts.

The peer has apologised for the "pain and embarrassment" caused and said his exit would "limit and help repair" the damage to the reputation of the Lords.

David Cameron is resisting calls from other parties for wider reforms. etc etc etc

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

*Even though in a video and in the context he made a reference to both. The good old beeb aren't to be trusted.

All media have to put in these words to protect themselves. He's the subject of a police investigation, but he's not convicted of anything yet. Lord or no Lord he's innocent until he's proven guilty.

This is true, but the only word necessary to protect the BBC in Nines's example is "allegedly" in the second line. The rest is overkill - what we in England would call "belt and braces" and the Americans would call "belt and suspenders" which in the context of Lord Sewer is probably more apt.

Generally, given that a great deal of BBC management is ex-Blairite, they are always anxious to protect their own.
 
Hate is a very strong word,but I'm sorry ... but I hate the Sun even more than I ever did before ...
