I don't want to contribute to the main thrust of this debate, but simply on this point, all the media listed by sporty are consumer choices; anyone can choose not to buy them (as I choose not to buy them). I think that listing these is a bit of a red herring. Interesting feedback given that original accusation alluded to LBC being organ of left-wing bias similar to BBC whereupon your argument of consumer choice likewise applies. Not a red herring in the context of the original response.

OK, maybe I didn't read all 14 pages of this rather tedious discussion. However I was using the word consumer to mean 'paying customer' whereas LBC and BBC are 'free-to-air' broadcasters (yes, yes, I know there's a licence fee) where there ought to be at least a semblance of balance.

Finally saw the tweet in question. I've seen a whole lot worse than that and linking her use of "...a final solution." to Nazi genocide is a total stretch. Who or what is "Schofield?" She even mis-spelled Manchester. P.S. I'm a card carrying wild-eyed radical lefty hippy freak!

No doubt the thought police of the freedom loving new left will be round soon to divest you of your card.

You know I despair sometimes Hopkins has proven time again to be a vile human being. The tweet she lost her job for is probably the straw that broke the camel's back. Particularly after her recent court case. She incites hate, not by challenging authority for instance on whether we should accept migrants but with her choice of language. Comparing migrants to cockroaches and saying she would use gunships. Really? When did this sort of thing become acceptable? Be controversial fine, but regularly spouting hate filled words? It shouldn't be accepted as "normal"

It shouldn't be accepted as "normal" What you mean is what she says is not acceptable to left wingers like you. She may have made some unpleasant remarks, of course intended to goad people like you. Did you complain about the taste of remarks made when Thatcher died? No doubt you think left wing hate speech should accepted as "normal".

If anyone sees Katie Hopkins as their spokesperson they need to be referred.

I've dealt with worse. the neo-left is neither progressive nor liberal and I am proudly both. As I said earlier I don't watch or listen to so-called talk pundits of any stripe. They are very boring.
