On one hand she peddles this OTT 'thorn-in-the-side of the PC brigade' persona that drops all manner of clangers about people being 'too fat', 'too ginger' etc etc.

On the other hand, it seems that lots of people are saying 'she is actually really nice and funny'.

Who is she really? Maybe she is a bit of both?

Either way, even if she really is as bad as she sometimes makes out, then i would still defend her (and everyone's) right to offend me, or to be as offensive as they want to be.

Freedom of speech means the right to express opinions, even if they do offend others. Look at the countries or the regimes that take away that right. Do you want to live like that?

For all her faults, that is the appeal of Katie Hopkins; she doesn't bow down and surrender her right to express unpopular opinions, just because the media etc says 'that's what we should do'. Lots of people (including her) talk a lot of sh-t, but i would never want to have their right to talk sh-t taken away or we are all up sh-t creek.

Je Suis Charlie and all that.
