to think Katie Hopkins (ex Apprentice) is a nasty piece of work who should not be given airtime?

They just wheeled her out on Daybreak to comment on the woman who took her employer to tribunal for making her redundant while on maternity leave.

She was bleating on about how she only took 2 or 3 weeks maternity leave for each of her 3 children, and that we should be more like the USA and have 6 weeks unpaid leave instead of what we have now.

I can't bear the woman, and think she is a self important twunt, who should never have pro-created in the first place.

Housework - I have reported your post. She is a total waste of space but nobody deserves 'hatemail'. You should be ashamed of suggesting such a thing.

Frizzbonce · 15/03/2011 16:46

Actually Margaret Thatcher was the only Prime Minister in history to work for pin money. She said herself that she'd never have been able to get into politics if Denis hadn't been a millionaire.

As for Ms Hopkins I'm not sure where I read it but she apparently relies quite heavily on her parents for free childcare.

noeyedear · 15/03/2011 16:48

Oh she'd love that! Loads of women, who she is obviously contemptuous about giving her the attention she craves! Ignore the silly woman, and hope to god no one else puts her on telly! I can believe it of Daybreak, but I really thought someone should have said something on Question Time along the lines of 'errr who are you and what is your 'career'?"

kittybuttoon · 15/03/2011 16:56

I'm sorry to say that Katie Hopkins would probably BOAST about the amount of hatemail she gets!

She was, after all, so proud of snatching someone else's husband that she crowed about it on the Apprentice programme.

She's really not normal.

manfromCUK · 15/03/2011 17:07

Mrs Thatcher snatched someone else's husband too - maybe they are more similar than we thought.

PinkToeNails · 15/03/2011 17:08

She's an idiot. When I see her on Question Time she makes my blood boil. I hate the way she makes out that everyone has a 'poor me' attitude. It simply isn't true.

ninah · 15/03/2011 17:09

Never heard of her, thankfully

Northernlurker · 15/03/2011 17:11

Margaret Thatcher met Denis after his divorce. The divorce occurred when his wife met someone else. You can throw a lot at Maggie but not being the OW.

montymoocow · 15/03/2011 17:13

I feel so terribly sorry for her poor children, although possibly they may be much happier being away from someone who seemingly cares more for her career than her babies.

If she has another poor mite perhaps she'll pop it out (with minimal fuss of course) without even leaving her desk, and get her secretary to arrange a courier to take it to the nearest creche where she can pick it up when she finishes work at 7 - just in time for bath and bed (oh sorry - quality time).

I pity her but unfortunately she comes across as a revolting person.

manfromCUK · 15/03/2011 17:31

NorthernLurker - thank you I stand corrected.

majordanjarvis · 15/03/2011 17:37

I think she speaks a lot of harsh truths. I loved her comment on QT to the effect that women don't want equality, not least because they couldn't handle it.

I think there are a lot of envious and spiteful women on here that are intimidated by someone that so clearly has managed to achieve status and wealth in life whilst also raising a family.

No benefits, no excessive sense of entitlement, just hard work and brains.

TheCoalitionNeedsYou · 15/03/2011 17:40

majordanjarvis - I don't think there are you know. Plenty of people have achieved notoriety by saying/doing controversial things. She is just Jordan in a trouser suit.

prettyfly1 · 15/03/2011 17:41

and how long have you been on this site for katie majordanjarvis Grin

prettyfly1 · 15/03/2011 17:41

hahahaha Jordan in a trousersuit - love.

bronze · 15/03/2011 17:42

ha ha ha

hahahahahahaha

haha

I mean really. You actually believe that?!

belcantwait · 15/03/2011 17:49

Her nanny totally brings up her kids. Her nanny is lovely, kh otoh is a witch

TheCoalitionNeedsYou · 15/03/2011 17:53

If you are looking for an example of a woman who "has managed to achieve status and wealth in life whilst also raising a family." you probably want to look at ANY OTHER woman who has been successful, especially all the ones much more successful than her.

houseworkwhore · 15/03/2011 19:00

lmao @ jordan in trouser suit

TheCrackFox · 15/03/2011 19:06

The difference between Jordan and KH is that Jordan is very successful. KH is just some sad media tart getting no where.

The odd stint on QT or Daybreak isn't going to pay the mortgage off any time soon.

VivaLeBeaver · 15/03/2011 19:09

I can't get past the "paparazzi" photo of her shagging some married bloke in a field in the middle of the day. I just can't take anything she says seriously.

DancingThroughLife · 15/03/2011 19:19

Which one was she again? Are we talking about this year's Apprentice?

[made a lasting impression]

DancingThroughLife · 15/03/2011 19:37

Oh, whoops Viva. I remember now.

FWIW I think the whole world should just do whatever she thinks. Yes, I can just see how you can make a career about being right about everything Hmm. Wonderful, dear.

pointydog · 15/03/2011 19:40

She's earning as much money as she can be being an objectionable arsehole. Best not to fan her flames really.
