      Donald Trump is another famous one who has had his companies file for bankruptcy and look where he is now. Scary, eh?
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Entrepreneur? That’s stretching it a bit, isn’t it, to compare to KH?

        Somehow I doubt that Peter Jones’ bankruptcy was caused by hate trolling the wrong person and then losing a libel suit when the simple solution was to apologise.

          No probably caused by tulip business decisions and greed.

          But what is your point?

            “Probably”? If only Hopkins had used that word to avoid a libel suit, and then had the guts to apologise when she realised she had the wrong person, she wouldn’t be in this mess.

              Interestingly the guardian have updated their own story. It previously referred to Katie as "far right" but does so no more.
              I personally thought calling her far right might be a bit of a stretch, but I guess viewpoint depends a little on what political point your outlook is from..

                Maybe if she took a screen grab she can get her money back!

                  Damn twice I have agreed with people I don't normally.

                  Yep if she had just apologised & sent £10K not 5 to the charity it would have boosted her popularity.

                  Too blinkered and determined to be right (probably)

                  Though her bankruptcy is not through poor money management so she is still right.

                  Having known a few, a good percentage of bankruptcies just rack up debts then wonder where the money is coming from.

                  I have sympathy by those caused by illness, company failure , legal liabilities that they weren't actively causing or partners who helped them to it.
                  Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                    I still think this is the best apology/correction of all time:
                    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                      The far right objected to being associated with her
