AIBU?

Aibu to think Katie Hopkins is a total and utter snob?

Having just watched a video posted by a friend on Facebook of Katie Hopkins on This Morning, I have come to the conclusion she is a unashamed snob. She said she would avoid letting her children having play dates with other children based on their names. I don't know if anyone else saw this, and well done to Holly Willobooby Smile for sticking up for all the mums out there who call their children what they want.
She used the name Tyler (sorry to anyone if that's not how you spell it) to emphasise her pathetic point. She actually had the gall to say that the name denotes what type of person they are - she meant class and that certain members of society choose specific names for their children based on their intelligence as parents and where they sit in the social scale. I am so angry by her ignorant assumptions and feel sorry for her children for missing out from getting to know people from all backgrounds. I just thought what a stuck up, narrow minded cow you are!
Sorry if this had already been discussed to death, it just made be see red.

What a pity. That kind of snobbery is ridiculously nouveau. Poor woman is making a fool of herself.

I actually was so astounded that she couldn't see what a knob she was making of herself.

YABU to get caught up in the Katie Hopkins thing at all tbh - she's nothing more than a caricature, that's how she keeps her face on telly and makes her money. She's a female Jeremy Clarkson, spouting deliberately controversial 'opinions' for a living.

Ughhhh... ugly inside and out... terrible way to carry on. She is awful. They shouldn't give her airtime. I know someone a bit like her... avoid, avoid, avoid. Lacks any kind of intelligence. 'India isn't a geographical name' [Hmmmmmmm]

Yes she sprouts utter drivel. My SIL knew someone who worked with her and she was quite incompetent

Emsyj that's what I thought, she's deliberately trying to be controversial for the sake of it. It's like she needs her finger in every pie, she thinks she's an expert on everything - look love you are not a bloody journalist, you were on the apprentice, which you didn't win by the way, now why don't you just sod off.

I love that she insulted children named after places, and her child is called India. Pot....kettle....

I can blow the snobby cows theory out of the water:

Isnt Victoria a posh name, well i know a Victoria, and shes a right chavvy, legs open sort.

Our names dont always reflect who we are.

My favourite bit was when she said she judges children who have Geographical names, eg Brooklyn or London, and Schof pointed out one of her kids was called India.

Facepalm.

YABU. She plays the character of a knob because she gets paid to.

How else is she going to get noticed or given airtime

I don't think she holds half the beliefs she claims too I think she just loves to wind people up. I saw that clip she was enjoying every moment of winding people up.

I know a woman with 2 lovely children called Paris and Tyler - KH would likely judge them but her children would be missing out on friendships with nice kids.

Tbh though - is KH actually for real? I've met some snobs but no-one that bad!

Some people never cease to amaze and she tops it!
How dare she ridicule children because of their names. I'd like K.H to correct me if I'm wrong but last time I checked children don't pick their own names.
I agree with ifcatshadthumbs I think she just likes to wind people up. It's like a game to her and we are playing in to her hands.
Also I think K.H is a disgraceful example as a mum, teaching her children it is okay to discriminate against people. xxx
