It looks like Madam has overshot the runway.

Her poor kids (beyond the obvious.)

JungMum · 16/09/2018 15:28

Wow. One article in the daily mail and she can scoop enough back to keep herself going for another year or two though.

Sparklingbrook · 16/09/2018 15:29

Oh no. You tricked me into reading Jack Monroe's twitter. Sad

TheQueef · 16/09/2018 15:30

She has to pay 240k plus 107k in legal to Jack Monroe.
That'd push most of us over the brink no?

HollowTalk · 16/09/2018 15:32

She's not bankrupt. She's avoiding bankruptcy by having an IVA.

She paid £24K to Jack Monroe, not £240K, didn't she? It's the lawyers' fees that she couldn't pay.

JungMum · 16/09/2018 15:32

Bankruptcy never seemed to curtail Kerry Katona's lifestyle much so I think Katie Hopkins will find the same. A few more articles. She knows how to get people to click

HollowTalk · 16/09/2018 15:33

Katie Hopkins has serious mental health issues in my opinion. Twitter and other social media are the worst possible thing for someone like her.

TheQueef · 16/09/2018 15:35

It could be 24k I'm going on the linked article.

Still 107k is a bit more than I've got stuffed in old handbags. It will hopefully make her wary of opening her trap so much.

Florries · 16/09/2018 15:39

The beautiful irony...

Followers on Twitter were quick to points out Hopkins’ 2014 tweet criticising people with debt problems.

The tweet read: “The only thing people in debt have in common other than bad money management, is an ability to blame anyone but themselves.”

zeeboo · 16/09/2018 15:43

She hasn't filed for bankruptcy, she's managed to swerve it with an IVA.
Jack Monroe who irks me, but not as much as Katie Hopkins was paid her 24k but the 107k due to her lawyers wasn't paid.

lolaflores · 16/09/2018 15:43

Sparklingbrook my profoundest apologies for that but it seemed pertinent.
How many come backs does the come back queen have in her though?
She might be poison now that one libel case has stuck and the papers may be a bit wary of her now that she has sustained a blow.
Anyone predict an autobiography for Xmas? Or has she done that already

Whilst I wouldn’t wish misfortune on anyone, perhaps she will gain perspective from this. Let’s hope so.

mostdays · 16/09/2018 15:45

Given her past comments about people in debt this is somewhat amusing.
Daft cow could have paid £5k and apologised and she wouldn't be in this mess.

lolaflores · 16/09/2018 15:47

Shockers I agree but I think an accident is one thing, being consistently nasty and unkind is another kettle of fish.
How is it possible to avoid unpleasantness when it is your stock in trade and really the only thing you are any good at.
It always comes back to you if you goad people in such a public way.
And I doubt she will learn. That kind of thick is very special

Please don't confuse mental illness with being an arsehole. Hopkins is the latter.

brizzledrizzle · 16/09/2018 15:51

Shame. Shall I play my violin?

Petalflowers · 16/09/2018 15:51

What’s an IvA?

lolaflores · 16/09/2018 15:51

Bombardier25966 couldn't agree more.
She has monetized being a twat.

HollowTalk · 16/09/2018 15:52

She's an arse, yes, but I also blame the newspapers who hired her.

lolaflores · 16/09/2018 15:52

My old Nan had a neighbour like her who would stand at the gate slagging every Tom, Dick, Harry and Susan off.
You could physically see her get taller when she got new material.

Hopkins reminds me of a lonely bitter old bag, thirty years too soon while she should beliving it.

LuckyDiamond · 16/09/2018 15:53

Won’t take me long to count the fucks I give.

lolaflores · 16/09/2018 15:55

KH must have thought, at least once, that the time would come when she would be hoisted by her own petard to the delight of a large slice of the population.
And as others have said, she has kept her bum just short of bankruptcy but she had to sell her house.
Her kids must get some grief though.
