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.

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

Good post

[Brother Leon]

Yeah. Hopkins is right for once tbh.

[Z]

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.

[Kizzy]

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.
