Ah, to be Katie Hopkins. To wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and know - just KNOW - that you are right about everything. To feel the full force of righteousness burning, bristling in your heart. To wonder how best to wind up the people of Great Britain today…

Well, Katie Hopkins has done it again. She claims that her Fat Club - the Facebook page set up in the wake of her TLC series on gaining, then losing, three stone - has helped nine people drop a combined total of over 25 stone.

Speaking in the Sun today, Katie said she's proud to be known as the Queen of Mean - "especially when it comes to fat people".

A good start there then, Katie.

"In fact I’ve said in the past that if I were Prime Minister I would ban obesity," she went on.

"I think overweight people are lazy and that they are bankrupting the country." Lovely.

But then she mentioned that she's proud of her little band of weight-losers - and said they're all champs.

"My point was to prove what I’ve always told fat people — just eat less, move more, and those repulsive rolls of blubber will go away. It worked.

"People identified with it because they needed someone to be honest and say, 'You’re fat because you eat too much'."

She added: "All of them took my message to heart and have changed their lives."

Do we… count that as a victory to Katie? We're so confused right now…
