Just found this little gem:

Labour MP reports Katie Hopkins to police for 'inciting racial hatred' in Rochdale scandal

She sent a series of tweets after Mr Danczuk commemorated Pakistan’s National Day by attending the raising of the nation’s flag over the town hall on March 23.

In one tweet she wrote: "Raising a Pakistani flag in Rochdale is not helping community cohesion. it is inflammatory. @SimonDanczuk you & your party disgust me."

After seeing the MP tweet a photograph of himself at the event, Hopkins sent a picture of eight men convicted of child sexual exploitation offences, asking Mr Danczuk if they were his friends too.

Labour MP Simon Danczuk, who represents the town, has emailed Greater Manchester’s Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd, asking him to investigate whether a crime has been committed.

He said she may have incited racial hatred by associating the Pakistani flag with the grooming of young girls - a scandal which has rocked the area.

He said former Celebrity Big Brother contestant and Sun newspaper columnist Hopkins had “incited hatred”.

Mr Danczuk added: "The letter is me asking the Police Commissioner to investigate whether a crime has been committed in relation to Katie Hopkins.

"Rochdale is a very cohesive community - people work well together.

"Of course there are tensions, like there are in other communities, but people rub together really well and we don't need outsiders like Katie Hopkins to come in and cause trouble just for the sake of causing trouble and creating Sun headlines."
