Katie Hopkins suspended from Twitter

I’d submit that very few problems are solved by me standing in a cornfield with my hands over my ears going “La la la la la la la la” at the top of my lungs.
No, but if everyone just ignored her the problem wouldn't exist. She's probably relying on the outraged guardians of the online moral compass to keep her relevant to her fairly 'niche' audience by banning her from stuff and giving her the attention she craves
 
It's a problem of your own making. You pay attention/ read about people like this. If you didn't it wouldn't be a problem would it?

Want me to open the gate?

Being informed about what happens in the wide, wide universe is one of my hobbies. I don’t really look at it as a problem. I mean, how would you know she was even a problem if you just shut your ears and eyes to newsflow? You’d also miss out on Mother Teresa, the moon landing, the fried quail at State Bird Provisions, Superchunk, Christopher Guest movies and plenty of other things I like and/or respect. Not to mention a little football club 5,500 miles away from my home that I fell in love with when Macken’s header went in.

It’s called life, mate — live it.

Mother Teresa used to beat people, the moon landings were fake, the fried quail from state bird is substitute quail, I have no idea what superchunk is and guest is a genius.

That’s the thing about social media — it gives everyone nearly equal access to the bully pulpit, half-wits, no-wits and full-wits alike, at a minimal cost with massive, near-instantaneous distribution.

Equal until you get banned, however. Same as that evil freak Alex Jones over here. With a podium came responsibility in the old world — I’ve no issue with the return of such a stricture in the new.
