Katie Hopkins is she happy now ?

Is the Sun now embarrassed by the ranting of columnist Katie Hopkins in the wake of deeply upsetting pictures of a child’s body washed ashore while trying to escape Syria? Monkey only asks after a tweet from @TheSun promoting her infamous column urging the use of “gunships to stop migrants” disappeared overnight.

No one at the paper, which joined many others in drawing attention to the plight of refugees fleeing war on Thursday morning, seems to know why the tweet vanished from its main account.

The promotional tweet, which featured a smiling Hopkins and a quote from her 17 April column: “Show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad. I still don’t care.” was still up on Wednesday night. Yet by the time the print edition exhorting the prime minister to help prevent further refugee deaths hit the newsstands on Thursday morning, the post had been deleted.

Oh don't, this whole thing has made me cry a few times today. I once had 2 little boys of that age......the anguish that Dad is going through doesn't bear thinking about.

What about this then?

I'm speechless that there's so many callous people in the world.

And to think the Sun last time I checked is the largest selling UK Newspaper. Don't forget Hopkins is a regular on TV channels in the UK. This is called entertainment these days, the rush to the bottom of the sewer.

Well the fact that the Sun is the largest selling newspaper is the fault of those who buy it. It's up to the masses to see this outburst, be appalled by it and stop buying the paper. They won't though will they? Presumably they find this sort of hatred entertaining. Katie Hopkins wouldn't be famous at all if people just ignored the woman.

I found some old copies of The Sun among my late mother's things: in those days it was liberal/left before Murdoch got a hold of it. But then so were the Labour Party.

Perhaps they could find Katie Hopkins a mods job at the other place she'd fit in well there

They already had one Margaret Thatcher, why on earth would they want another one?
