awful to gloat about downfall of someone but Katie Hopkins has made her living as a cash for hate cow and deserves everything she gets… pic.twitter.com/dXTs6ta2WK

Waking up on a Sunday morning to hear the news that Katie Hopkins is bankrupt is just bliss.
After all the misery, hate, divisions caused and racist comments she says, it's a little bit of karma.
Good morning Britain. Today is a good day.

Katie Hopkins is filing for bankruptcy because she was de-platformed by the Daily Mail and LBC for being too explicitly racist. And while Katie Hopkins hasn't gone away, her explicit racism is no longer generating headlines, her filing for bankruptcy is.

Katie Hopkins may have gone bankrupt. But at this very sombre time, we also have to remember what a fucking horrific human being she is.

Katie Hopkins is all but bankrupt after losing her case v. Jack Monroe.
Here's what you do now.
Block her. Unfollow her. Do not read any of her articles. Turn over any TV show with her on.
She makes money when people engage with her,. Don't let her have that. A fitting end.

But there was another way of looking at it.
Twitter, when you gloat about @KTHopkins, you sound just like @KTHopkins
Anyone can be kind about nice people. Nothing will change until we learn to be kind about unpleasant people. https://t.co/zZO9gwGFz6— Frank Cottrell-Boyce (@frankcottrell_b) September 16, 2018
And this is what Monroe herself had to say.
I can confirm today that following that landmark libel case, Katie Hopkins has entered into an IVA to avoid bankruptcy. I knew for a while but could not say anything for legal reasons. The arbitrary defender of free speech didn't want anyone to know, ironically…

…I have been paid in full, but many of her creditors, including my lawyer, will not be paid what they are owed. For the want of an apology, a house, a job, a column, a radio show, and now financial solvency, were lost. It’s all very sad, actually.

I’m not cruel nor celebrating – that case cost me 18 months of sanity and work, and I think neither of us wanted it to turn out this way.
(I can recommend an excellent budget cookery book or three, for getting back on your feet, though)

Not for the first time, Jack displays more class & humanity in a short Twitter thread than their detractors manage in entire lifetimes. https://t.co/Jeozt1j9nc
