Indeed and considering that bullying and name calling is frowned upon in schools why is it applauded in this situation

Continually being told you have a big nose on national tv is also considered bullying and should never be applauded.

But she gives it out so it is only reasonable that some people hit back with equally personal comments, maybe if she kept her obnoxious opinions to herself she wouldn't have to endure abuse?

So because of her opinions it's ok for anyone to bully her?

That situation is self defence, if your kid is walking to school minding their own business and some other kid starts harassing him and he reacts to the harassment, does that make them both bullies?

I totally agree Cherie, also telling people to lose weight is insulting too, to say it to someone,you,well I would, would at least have tried to have the decency to work out how anyone may feel being told that and whether to even mention it at all.

Hopkins just jumps in with no consideration at all for the persons wellbeing ,that is a massive red herring as to her real reasons for doing so, she does it pure and simple to be nasty,rude and insulting to them.

I have come across people being bullied at school, and Uni too,for only being slightly overweight, people like Hopkins who do this as a norm set back dealing with bullying and can cause great distress to the targets too.
