Katie Hopkins caused fresh outrage today after she reacted to the Nice attack by saying: "Islam disgusts me".

The loudmouth columnist was branded a "cretin" after going on an extraordinary Twitter rant following last night's atrocity, which saw 84 people killed when they were mowed down by truck.

Ms Hopkins placed the blame squarely on multiculturalism and mocked France's three days of national mourning.

She tweeted: "Don't spend 3 days mourning. Spend 3 days deporting."

Ms Hopkins ranted: "Europe does not stand united. It sits like ducks. Start deporting those 'known' to police. Your hashtag #PrayforNice solves nothing."

Ellen McCloskey told her: "Wasn't it a French National though? Stop using tragedies as a medium to express your islamophobia you cretin."

But Ms Hopkins hit back: "I am not Islamophobic. Islam disgusts me. This is entirely rational."

Other tweeters slammed the columnist, who once threatened to run through the streets with a halal sausage up her bottom if Sadiq Kahn was elected Mayor of London

Luke Holland wrote: "This vile person needs locking up."

Another told her: "You're an absolute joke and an awful representative of this country and of the human race."
