I reckon she was suffering from post natal depression, having two young babies in a short space of time and all.

You're spot-on!
The number of deaths every year attributed to Alcohol compared to heroin is huge!!!
Even if you added all deaths caused by every kind of drug together it wouldn't even be a fraction of those caused by alcohol.

A gun is no different to a knife if the intention is to use it for violence. In fact, if you know what you're doing, a stabbing is more likely to kill than a shooting.

Amid news heroin played a part in the death of Peaches Geldof, former foe Katie Hopkins has stirred the pot on Twitter.

The former Apprentice star asked her 163,000 followers: “If Peaches was a mother on benefits living in a council estate, would you all still be wearing your ‘right on’ badge with such pride?"

She then clarifies: “A ‘right on’ badge is what people wear when they say stuff they think people want to hear – normally Guardian types.”

I'd rather be a guardian type than your type katie....

Katie Hopkins really is a twat isn't she!:bored:
Why anyone is interested in anything she says is a complete mystery to me. Watching her being obnoxious on The Apprentice was more than enough of her for me.

I'm still a bit puzzled as to why Peaches husband would have left her alone at home for days on end (and with the kids at times) knowing she was going through an addiction amongst other problems.
In those pictures of him walking around London taken over the last few days he looks like he hasn't got a worry in the World. Certainly doesn't look like a man who just lost his wife and the mother of his children in such tragic circumstances. Looks like he's having a right old giggle! Very odd.

So glad i haven't watched This Morning for at least 15 years!
The last time i watched it i think they still had that guy doing the weather on the big UK map floating in the dock outside and he used to jump across to Ireland.:hugesmile:

I agree with Katie on this though, two babies and shooting heroin on a council estate in South London would get a whole different reaction from most who are "supporting" Peaches in her detached house in Surrey (or wherever it is).

Yeah I think she has a point as well

I think she has a point, but not the point she's trying to make. People would react completely differently if it was a mother on benefits, they would have far less sympathy, they probably wouldn't even try to understand. They'd dismiss her as human trash. And that's really sad. Especially considering the fact that many of those addicted people on council estates have had far more tragic lives than Peaches did... The sort of lives, and especially childhoods, that most of us can't even begin to imagine in our nightmares.

So she has a point - people are hypocrites. But in the sense that they should sympathise with those "benefits junkie mums" too, and be horrified by the society that has created them. Not in the sense that they should simply condemn Peaches along with them.

Yeah I agree on both counts, she was more trying to condemn the 'bleeding hearts brigade' rather than hoping to encourage understanding or sympathy

Brother Leon 04-05-2014 10:47 AM

Yeah. Hopkins is right for once tbh.

Z 04-05-2014 11:00 AM

I find Katie Hopkins usually does raise some good points but without ever really intending to do so; she'll say the most offensive thing possible to goad strong reactions but there is usually something sensible to be taken from all the bile. This is no different.

not really. give someone a knife to use it they know its going to be messy and much harder to use. a gun it would be to easy to just click a trigger.

like drink and heroin . drink is slow you need to make a effort to kill yourself. heroin there is no coming back. like a bullet it can be instant there's no casual heroin addicts lol

Kizzy 04-05-2014 12:20 PM

If it was a mother on a council estate there would have been no timescale for anyone to ponder what their own reaction might be, the media would have just told everyone what to think straight off....
My thought is not lets start to demonise rich addicts but lets stop demonising poor ones.

Not necessarily so.
Plenty of people die after drinking binges, either from alcohol poisoning or from choking on their own vomit etc.
A LOT, LOT more people die every year from alcohol or its long-term effects than from heroin. Alcoholics generally live a lot more damaged life than heroin addicts too. There's a lot of heroin addicts (usually the ones who have enough cash to comfortably support their habits, or doctors) that a lot of people could know for years without even realizing that they were a drug user.
It's usually the heroin users that have no cash and struggle to get the cash for their next hit that are the more obvious ones. It's when they haven't used heroin that they look and feel obviously ill.

Thieves targeted the home of the late presenter and television personality Peaches Geldof, police have confirmed.

Detectives in Kent say they are investigating two break-ins at the property, in Fairseat Lane, Wrotham.

Officers said a lawnmower was taken in mid-April, while thieves who broke into the home during a second raid on Friday apparently left empty-handed, police said.

The break-ins follow the death of the mother-of-two on April 7.

In a statement, Kent Police said: "Police are investigating a burglary at an address in Fairseat Lane, Wrotham, on 9 May.

"Officers were at the address within five minutes and no personal items are believed to have been stolen.

"Additionally, in mid-April a lawn mower was reported (to police) to have been taken from the grounds."

The body of 25-year-old Ms Geldof was found at the home she shared with her husband Tom Cohen, and their two young sons, Astala, two , and one-year-old Phaedra.

Her inquest earlier this month was told Mr Cohen discovered her slumped dead on a bed after she had recently taken heroin.

At the opening of the hearing in Gravesend, Detective Chief Inspector Paul Fotheringham said recent heroin use ''was likely to have played a role'' in her death.

The raids come after the home of late singer Amy Winehouse was also targeted shortly after her death in July 2011.

Thieves took the wedding dress in which the Rehab songstress married Blake Fielder-Civil in 2006, as well as a cocktail dress she wore while appearing on the BBC's Later With Jools Holland.

Both had been intended to be sold at auction for charity before they were stolen
