Somebody has let Katie Hopkins loose on Twitter again - with predictable results.
The outspoken columnist has sparked public outcry once again, the Mirror reports.
The former Apprentice star drew the ire of the wider public after seemingly posting and then deleting a racially-charged social media post.
According to the Independent , the 42-year-old posted the tweet early on Tuesday morning but soon deleted - however, not before offended followers had screen captured it.
The picture, which quickly spread through social media, saw a message about Black Lives Matter next to a poster for the Netflix series, Dear White People.
The screen caption appears to show a tweet from Katie's official twitter account, which sees the promo poster picture alongside a written message to "black people".
The tweet reads: “Dear black people. If your lives matter why do you stab and shoot each other so much.”
She is alleged to have later deleted the tweet, however, it would appear that some of her critics were able to screen-shot the message first.
