But apparently, the prognosis is good.

 

Some people on twitter however think that the cancer is "karma" for his coverage of the Scottish independence vote:

Hacker group known as Anonymous have made a threat to of Katie Hopkins: specifically, she has to publicly apologise to those she has hurt with her various rantings or they will make sure we all know where she lives and how to send her raging personal emails.

 

All together now: C'mon Anonymous!!

Re Ms Hopkins, Jon Ronson in today's Guardian magazine also met her and conducted a kind of cat and mouse interview in which she kept changing her line of argument. All of which means it's hard to know what credibility to give the claim she mades that her epilepsy is so severe she fears she may only have a few more years to live.

Apparently, she wrote gossip articles for intellectuals and knew everyone from Elton John to Joseph Beuys.

We should probably keep tabs in the incendiary Katie Hopkins; her rant in The Sun today praises the airlines that charge by weight and therefore penalise fatties. She's advocating that as standard policy for all airlines.

 

 

That'll piss off a few more people, eh?

She can run, they won't be able to keep up...
