Surely words like 'evil' and 'sick' should be reserved for child molesters, murderers, terrorists etc.

It's only words. You don't have to read them or listen to them. And you don't have to get butt-hurt every time you disagree with someone's opinion.

Yeah, seventy something years ago something very similar happened - people were not offeneded that their Jewish friends and neighbours were being targeted by the government of the day. People looked and watched what others did - nothing or not enough. When the world woke up to the facts six million Jewish people had been killed by this evil government and those who did nothing tacitly assisted and agreed.

Katie Hopkins is an intolerant and evil person imo, not much different to any of the tyrants in history. I don't mind anyone having an opinion that is expressed in a fair and honest way and open to debate or discussion by those around.
Katie Hopkins expresses her opinions in socially awkward and inflexible manner and does not tolerate discussion on her statements and will not compromise. The moment someone says anything or trys to express their own opinion she becomes defensive and shuts the conversation down with nasty personal comments.

Katie Hopkins dictates - civilised society is run on democracy.
