Just seen her on BBC Breakfast. The bile that comes out of her mouth is one thing but there's something not right about her. The way she kept turning her head from anchor to other guest was unnatural, like she was faking empathy. I'm no psychiatrist but could she be a sociopath?

Bit much eh?

She is not worth the headspace imo .I wouldn't go so far as to cull her Hmm

That's quite an overreaction there, OP, really. I'm glad you're not a psychiatrist... Shock

Honeydragon · 25/01/2012 10:06

Whilst I strongly disagree with recent tendencies on Mnet toward the murdering of those that annoy us I agree over the title. Very very funny Grin

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 25/01/2012 10:11

The title makes no sense whatsoever to me, not funny either? Different strokes for different folks and all that though...

Honeydragon · 25/01/2012 10:30

Lying

She was rather unpleasant on the beeb this morning, regardless of your angle on the Olympics she was awful.

thefurryone · 25/01/2012 10:39

Grin though being a pacifist I generally just shut her up using the off switch.

She is vile, as are her opinions on pretty much everything.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/01/2012 10:46

(whispers) Who's Katie Hopkins. Was she the blond from The Apprentice who only has relations with married men?
Or am I thinking of someone totally different?

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 25/01/2012 11:01

honeydragon... I know, she refers to MNetters as MNutters... it just makes me laugh. There's a lot of threats to violence on MN at the moment and it's sounds as horrible as it is ridiculous.

bakingaddict · 25/01/2012 11:09

70isa you are correct,

I kinda think she is a sad, twisted, stupid, demented woman desperate for 15mins of fame that she allows herself to be wheeled out as a rent-a-gob while the rest of the population laughs at her for being ridiculous. I look at her and realise the meaning of self respect, pity she doesn't

thefurryone · 25/01/2012 11:21

Actually, having just watched the link to the interview from another thread I've decided shooting is too good for her. I honestly do not know why the BBC continue to book her. I'm all for giving two sides to an argument but she is an expert on nothing but her own stupidity.

SaltireOShanter · 25/01/2012 11:29

Doesn't she wave her hands around a lot when she talks? Is it to detract from the shite she talks?

FaithHopeAndKevin · 25/01/2012 12:08

But it doesn't work, Saltire. She needs another tactic Grin

DoesNotGiveAFig · 25/01/2012 12:27

She got very angry - just rewatched it. She frothed a bit when they told her to "hang on". Katie MN was admirably calm in the face of such froth.

somedayma · 25/01/2012 12:35

I quite like her. But I don't know much about her

NettleTea · 25/01/2012 12:37

oooh she really is awful.
I agree, get the man from DEFRA out asap

joshop · 25/01/2012 12:38

Lying, of course you're right about the murdering (but I was only saying I wouldn't be upset if it happened accidentally).

Furry, you're right too. The BBC shouldn't book her.

On the other hand, she is so obnoxious, perhaps it's no bad thing that it's her spouting the venom, rather than someone with an ounce of charm.

MissVerinder · 25/01/2012 12:59

I have only lasted 2 minutes into the 5 minute clip.

She is vile, vile, vile, vile, vile.

SqueezeMeBakingPowder · 25/01/2012 13:11

Oh heck, I despised the woman on the Apprentice and after watching that my feelings haven't changed! She's completely hateful. Why oh why is she allowed air time? Grrrrrr Angry

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 25/01/2012 13:13

nooooooooooooooooooo, not a badger, I think they are protected!! More chance of her being confused with a rat.......she actually looks quite like one and as she is classes as vermin we could legally get rid of her!

She is a truely vile woman!!

MissVerinder · 25/01/2012 13:16

That Mumsnet bod was hilarious, did you see the look on her face when they introduced Katie H! Disbelief, I think. Or incredulousness.

joshop · 25/01/2012 13:21

Betty, DEFRA is introducing badger culling this year, starting in the South West. Not sure where she lives but there are badgers in most places..

OP posts:
belgo · 25/01/2012 13:24

MumsnetKatie was very good, she kept calm, didn't rise to the bait, and made her points very convincingly. That is what annoyed KatieH; she knew she was losing the argument.

AnonymousBird · 25/01/2012 13:26

Ooo, what's she been up to now? Just off to watch.... see you in a minute!

AnonymousBird · 25/01/2012 13:33
Shock

Thanks and an early Wine for MNKatie for being so heroic and calm in the fact of such monstrous behaviour and gesticulation!!!!
