Katie Hopkins reported to police for tweets about Manchester attack
Katie Hopkins is known for her abrasive personality and controversial views.
The newspaper columnist has previously been reported to police for her comments, and now in the wake of the Manchester attack, the journalist has been reported to the authorities once again.
She was reported to the Metropolitan police for a tweet in which she called for a 'final solution' to the attacks.

The journalist also made a plea on Twitter for 'Western men' to 'rise up' and 'demand action.
She was accused of 'inciting racial hatred' by one Twitter user, who then requested that the police become involved.
'Clearly, certain things I tweet I absolutely accept that words matter,' she said, clarifying her statements to Fox News.
Western men. These are your wives. Your daughters. Your sons. Stand up. Rise up. Demand action. Do not carry on as normal. Cowed.

'I said the word 'final solution,' in a tweet, and I would not in any way want to use that term and the inference other people lay on that, what I meant was we need a lasting solution, a resolution,'
'I demand action. I want people to use their anger to say we need to do something to stop this.'
'We need to be deporting these people, deport the people that are hiding them and get amongst this because this is our little girl, our 8-year-old little Saffie that died.'
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan police confirmed to The Guardian that a complaint had been received, adding: 'As is routine, the allegation will be reviewed and assessed by specialist officers.'
