To be honest when I saw the Tweet in question I thought the case looked weak, the tweet seems just typical passive aggressive nonsense.

That said I don't have much sympathy for her. Her entire job is to dance close to the edge so she can't complain when she gets caught going over it. She is one of those people whose entire professional purpose seems to be to inject a shot of poison into the public discourse. She isn't a contrarian, or someone that writes 'unpopular truths' that would otherwise go unsaid, she is just someone who writes nasty stuff to shock and gets paid to do it.

The thing is that what she actually said/wrote was far less offensive or harmful than a huge amount of stuff posted in places like the twittersphere. Her mistake was getting the wrong target and refusing to accept the remedial action offered to her. I dare say she'll be reflecting on that at her leisure.

Never mind just used Wikipedia, though still none the wiser really.

IIRC she didn't win The Apprentice.

She is a loathesome individual and a symptom of our society where people with no talent or even a clue can make a better living off it then ordinary people doing useful jobs i hope this is a nail in her cofgin but won't hold my breath.

At least she can't do a Trump and stand for President..One reason for sticking with a constitutional monarchy in my humble opinion.

She could form the "Hopkins" party, and try for a majority in the next election and become Prime Minister.

The Monarchy has nothing to do with it.

Ah ok thanks, but I was thinking of a special CF fund ;).

But anyway, you sought it out with a view to contributing then?
