Katie Hopkins ‘faces bankruptcy’ and these 17 people are entirely as sympathetic as you’d expect

Katie Hopkins has applied for an insolvency agreement in a bid to avoid bankruptcy after losing a libel case involving food writer Jack Monroe.

The rightwing broadcaster and some-time columnist was ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds over tweets she sent in 2015 falsely implying Monroe backed the defacement of war memorials by protestors.

Monroe originally asked for Hopkins to apologise and donate £5,000 to a migrants’ charity but Hopkins refused to back down so it went to court and here we are.

Hopkins, who no longer writers for Mail Online or broadcasts on LBC, once said poor people in debt have no one else to blame but themselves. Here’s how people reacted online.
