TELEVISION personality and The Sun columnist Katie Hopkins has dragged Swindon into the national press for the wrong reasons once again.

Barely six months after labelling the town an “ugly place no-one cares about”, the former Apprentice contestant used her column in yesterday’s red-top to describe Swindon as “Godforsaken”.

In addressing the influx of German markets to shopping districts over the Christmas period, the 39-year-old said: “The brown huts of German markets pop up everywhere, flogging wares mass-produced in Swindon or some other Godforsaken place.”

The mother-of-three was questioning the popularity of the markets, given our nation’s desire to avoid Germans at every turn during the rest of the year.

Steve Tittensor, a dentist at Ebenezer House Dental in Victoria Road, responded to the column on Twitter.

He said: “@KTHopkins there’s nothing wrong w Swindon Katie, it’s full of hardworking taxpayers. We have our probs same as everyone of course.”

Swindon’s own Christmas market, complete with wooden chalets along Canal Walk, will start on Thursday and run until December 21.

In May the columnist suggested convicted terrorist Abu Hamza’s family move to Swindon from London.

“Surely the most sensible thing would be to move them to an ugly place no one cares about - like Swindon.”
