Behind My Back, My Mouth Was Working For The Prosecution

An anonymous group of Daily Mail readers, known only as “the friends of Katie Hopkins”, say they’re worried about her mental health, after she lost a costly libel case, taken by the Guardian food writer Jack Monroe.

A spokeswoman for the group – who does not wish to be named – said Hopkins is now thinking of appealing the verdict on the basis that ‘the prosecution’ used her own words against her.

“There’s no prosecution in a civil trial,” she said, “and we’ve told her that again and again?”

But, she added, Katie keeps on saying she ‘should have pleaded the fifth’.
