Well, she's now attracted opprobrium from no less a person than the UN Commisioner for Human Rights.
Jordanian Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said the reality television star had used language in her Sun column similar to that used by newspapers and radio stations in Rwanda before the 1994 genocide that led to hundreds of thousands of people being slaughtered.
In the wake of a capsizing in which 400 migrants are believed to have drowned, Hopkins wrote a piece entitled ‘Rescue boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants’ in which she likened those feeling war-torn nations to “cockroaches” and called for them to be turned away with force.
Al Hussein urged authorities in the UK to use the law to clamp down on "vicious verbal assault on migrants and asylum seekers in the UK tabloid press", adding: "The Nazi media described people their masters wanted to eliminate as rats and cockroaches. This type of language is clearly inflammatory and unacceptable, especially in a national newspaper.
"The Sun's editors took an editorial decision to publish this article, and - if it is found in breach of the law - should be held responsible along with the author."
Whilst some here will think this merely allows her to wallow in a sense of self-importance way beyond her intrinsic worth, it's also worth noting that her recent language has been practically identical to that used by Julius Streicher in Der Stürmer. Not to mention that this sort of demonising of powerless, helpless people has been a feature of the right-wing press for several years now, and perhaps this is the moment when the otherwise indolent wake up to what is being printed and peddled as purportedly constituting their thoughts.
