Katie Hopkins accuses Ed Miliband of being 'on the spectrum' following Labour leader's debate performance
|
Version 0 of 1. As the seven-way leaders’ debate raged on ITV on hot election topics such as the future of the NHS, clearing the deficit, immigration and climate change, a certain The Sun columnist was busy lowering the tone on Twitter with a running commentary not just on the leaders’ performances on the night, but their physical attributes, too. Ed Miliband in particular found himself at the centre of Katie Hopkins’ firing line, mostly over his clear debate tactic of addressing the “people at home” with a piece to camera as he answered questions from the studio audience. At one point, Hopkins suggested that Labour leader displayed characteristics of autism: Ed, stop staring at me in my Jim jams. It's freaking me out #leadersdebate Ed, will you please quit looking down the barrel and talk to the audience or the questioner. Just plain weird #leadersdebate ED STOP LOOKING AT US. You are weird. Look at people not a machine. Try and act off the spectrum #leadersdebate But he was by no means the only person Hopkins gave a hard time. Natalie Bennett, leader of the Green party, had it tougher than most: Why on earth do we have the Greens and Leanne Wood in this debate? Like the irritating Aunt at a wedding #leadersdebate has anyone else noticed the size of Natalie Bennett's hands? That bird could shift rubble with those spades #leadersdebate Natalie wants us to worry about 50% of the worlds wildlife, Natalie love, wildlife isn't on our agenda right now. #leadersdebate Look Green Party. You aren't getting in. You aren't even properly British. Get yourself to MandS and get a suit. #leadersdebate The Greens want free education, to pay off student debts, stop global warming and offer pet unicorns for all. #leadersdebate Natalie would like us to take Syrian refugees. We are making most of them love. Last nine came straight from Rochdale #leadersdebate As did Nicola Sturgeon. Unsurprisingly, Hopkins appeared to be Team Nigel Farage all the way, even seemingly applauding his decision to voice his argument that immigrants with HIV are flocking to Britain to seek treatment for free on the NHS: Come on Farage - this is yours for the taking. Please don't thank Joan for her question. She has been thanked enough #leadersdebate Bugger me, Farage went after foreign HIV patients. Tough one to win in this forum. Best save that for a friendly audience #leadersdebate Short break. MAKE UP FOR FARAGE, powder for Farage. #leadersdebate Australian style point system is exactly what we need. Plus Australian style gun ships to fend them off in the channel. #leadersdebate But of course, no Hopkins stream of consciousness would be complete without an inflammatory comment of her own to throw into the mix: Seven day a week NHS? Old people would still clutter it up when us working mums need it most. #leadersdebate Her alternative leaders’ debate analysis comes in the same week Labour MP Simon Danczuk reported her to the police, claiming she incited racial hatred with a series of tweets about Pakistani men in his constituency. It also follows the promise she made that just might have won Ed Miliband the General Election. |
