Katie Hopkins says Sun banned her from writing about Madeleine McCann!

[Mr Gray]

The mccanns have milked it for years since the Express libel trial, and no one until recently has dared question them in the media.

Tell me davel why the UK and Portuguese tax payers should pay for the mistakes of the mccanns, whilst they have not dug into their own pockets to pay for their 'responsible parenting skills' ?

Quite simply it is up to the authorities to investigate maddies disappearance

They have, and they have found nothing.

Do keep up.

If it isn't anonymous then you may restate it.

Can anyone offer an explanation of exactly what expertise Katie Hopkins has that makes her an expert on missing children and how she hopes for Madeleine McCann to benefit and profit from having the Hopkins' opinions printed in the press?

As I see it there are three beneficiaries from her latest 'controversial' opinions...

• the main one being Ms Hopkins herself who has built a persona on her supposed notoriety and shameless opportunism ... and just being downright nasy
• the MAIL which is not averse to making a bob or two without much effort
• those who have an interest in appearing in tabloid comment sections to express dislike for the parents of a missing child for the mistake of leaving her less than two minutes distance away ~ but always neglect to mention any criticism whatsoever of the kidnapper some refusing to believe there was one

I don't recall Katie Hopkins claiming any expertise in missing children. Neither do I recall her suggesting that anything she said would help Madeleine McCann, so I don't know why you're asking those questions? Are they rhetorical like Alfie's?

Katie Hopkins gave her opinion on the parent's childcare arrangements, that's all. Many agree with her but for some reason the media are reluctant to report on it, even though it's clearly not libelous.

We have had nine years of media criticism of the vile 'kidnapper' and of sympathy for the negligent parents. It's about time another viewpoint was allowed into the media imo.

Why Katie Hopkins Left The Sun

By Tim Fenton

It has been one of those endlessly fascinating questions - why did pro-am motormouth Katie Hopkins and the Murdoch Sun part company? Her contract was not renewed, which was most convenient for the inmates of the Baby Shard bunker, but apart from the thought that her witterings were too toxic even for the paper of Kelvin McFilth, there was little to go on.



Viewers may want to look away now

 But now the eternally unrepentant Ms Hopkins has shed some light on the reason she and the Super Soaraway Currant Bun went their separate ways. In an article in Press Gazette, where she wheels out the old one about "I articulate views that a lot of people feel but feel that they can no longer say", she identifies the disappearance of Madeleine McCann as the one subject that neither the Sun, nor any other publication bar Mail Online, would allow her to broach.

 This tells us several things not just about the sensitivities of Sun editorial staff - perhaps you thought they didn't have any - but also about the way the paper is put together nowadays, and the dangers in mentioning the McCann case.

 Ms Hopkins has exhibited a tendency not merely to political incorrectness, but to give offence for what appears to be the sheer hell of it, although this may just be the disconnect between her world and the real one. Zelo Street has previously mused on the thought that some Sun pundits were not having their copy fact checked (pace Louise Mensch), and the possibility of Hatey Katey dropping the Murdoch doggies in the poo was clearly something about which they were uneasy.

 Worse, most of those who scrabble around the dunghill that is Grubstreet have already overstepped the defamation line on the McCann case. So the nervousness is entirely understandable.

 On top of that, there is the danger of disturbing the army of conspiracy theorists, trolls, oddballs and other assembled weirdos who prey on cases like the McCann disappearance. The pile-on from this motley convocation is something never to be forgotten.

 But perhaps the most obvious reason the Sun would rather not discuss the McCann case is that there is very little of use to be gained by raking it over yet again. Katie Hopkins may have had a huge response to her latest rant on the subject, but the unedifying spectacle of a righteous and intolerant loudmouth putting the boot in on a couple who have already suffered years of torment was not one that even the Murdoch was prepared to entertain.

 Whether Ms Hopkins gets that, I somehow doubt. But most human beings do - all too well.

Same old mantra from a McCann supporter.

Perhaps Mr. Fenton should deal with actions of a group of parents who left their children to fend for themselves, whilst they consumed alcoholic drinks and ate.

Sorry about that Alfredo.  Me and the dog got caught in a freak downpour so couldn't post this sooner.  I removed the first post as I hadn't recognised the blogger as Tim Fenton formerly of the BBC.

Perhaps you could tell us why being famous should be relevant when it comes to passing comment on Katie Hopkins?

Same question goes for objections to KH passing comment on the Mccanns or telling how she wasnt allowed to
