//Experience tells me that, rather than actually agreeing with Ms Hopkins view, you say you agree in order to provoke a reaction, and in that you are both alike.//
Not at all. If you have seen any of my posts on the migrant invasion you will know that I have advocated the use of (extreme) force repeatedly. I didn't know that Ms Hopkins does likewise.

Zacs - // What are the 'harmful' effects of Ms Hopkins proclamations, Andy? //
If you re-read, you will note that I did not suggest that Ms Hopkins' poisonous piffle is 'harmful' in itself, rather that encouraging people to be paid for simply exercising the verbal equivalent of throwing petrol on a bonfire is not a situation that benefits society as a whole in any way.

Zacs - // OK, I'll rephrase my question. What are the harmful effects of people like KH using platforms such as Twitter? //
Probably next to none at all.
Of the contributors to Twitter, I would guess conservatively, that around 0.000000001% of them actually have anything of value in terms of facts or opinions to share with the wider world.
The rest populate the downside of 'social' media, which means that any idiot with a keyboard and a connection automatically assumes that the two things empower them to share their witless pin-headed bigoted drivel with the rest of the world, and that said world gives a rat's bottom about what they think about anything whatsoever.
Since Ms Hopkins falls entirely into the second category, I bother not one jot that she could again spend her time in the cyber-equivalent of shouting into a bucket - she is entirely where she belongs.
Should she ever regain more high-profile outlets such as the radio show and newspaper column she quite rightly lost, then i would worry more - because she could potentially reach an audience who could react to her nasty racist violent views, even though I strongly suspect she espouses them purely for the money they generate.
So I have no qualms about Ms Hopkins spilling her bile onto her keyboard and out into the yawning abyss of utter indifference that is Twitter, where having a chance to vent is reason enough to participate, even if the world as whole is not listening, because it couldn't care less.
She and it deserve each other.

Katie Hopkins is an unpleasant individual, whereas Trump is a dangerous individual.
Both play on people's stupidity, gullibility, bias and prejudices for their own gain; people who are susceptible to any or all of the logical fallacies that they are adept in wielding.
If that's what Musk wants on Twitter, good luck to him for its future profitability.

yeah I agree - andy sells his prose so some one obviously likes it
scratching -- -- Jane Austen, called it "scribbling"
The scribbling parsons' daughters would er scribble. And their doting father wd send JA's father the scripts and she wd read them an offer advice. None as far as I know wrote themselves out of the manse

Andy, how can you write 'Whether Ms Hopkins opinions are 'correct' or not, is not an issue, anyone can hold an opinion. It is the platform used to convey that opinion, and the harmful effect it can have, that is my cause for concern.'
and follow that up with 'I haven't criticised Ms Hopkins for using Twitter'
Without me coming to the conclusion that you're not quite compos mentis?
