Katie Hopkins tuned in to Channel 4's School For Boys last night, which follows headmaster Stephen Drew (of Educating Essex) as he attempts to help badly behaved boys improve their attitudes in just four weeks at a summer school.

But, while most were impressed with Mr Drew's unshakeable sense of calm - and his ability to reach the boys in his care - Katie turned her attentions on to the subject of ADHD.

She tweeted: "Tom has ADHD. In other words - he is a little GIT that needs a good telling off."

Unsurprisingly many of her Twitter followers were upset, responding with anger and bemusement at her comment.

One retorted: "yes tom has ADHD no he isn't a git - yes you are 40 odd years old slagging children on twitter #GREATLIFE"

And another added: "He's a 'little git' whose father has died - it's bound to have some effect."

One more said cuttingly: "Katie is an obnoxious little guttersnipe with little knowledge of the real world. in other words, Katie should get some facts."

Unperturbed, Katie continued to tweet about the show, still focusing on ADHD:

"Tom has realised he is in trouble and has put on a silly cute voice to weasel put of it. This is called ADHD. #mrdrew"

She also tweeted: "'I'm going to f**k you over'. Does ADHD mean you are pre-programmed with a special sweary gene? #schoolforboys"

She also took the chance to link back to an article she wrote for The Huffington Post, insisting that ADHD is not a medical condition.

She said: "Prescriptions for ADHD medicines have soared by 50% in six years. I believe we are feeding a worrying appetite that is satiated only by a prescription for a medical condition.

"Instead of accepting a problem and agreeing to do something about it, we seek a quick diagnosis (most made in under seven minutes) and a bottle of rattling pills to make it go away.

"In many cases, medication seems to be more about making life easier for the parent than relieving symptoms for the benefit of the child.

"Given this very modern phenomenon for ADHD, I would argue that for some children a lack of exercise, poor diet and absence of parental control is also an issue."
