Katie Hopkins is one vile person. Narcissistic much?

Yeah it's the dreaded DM but...

dreadful dreadful woman.

Very unpleasant article.

I may be in this position next year (hopefully :) )Please can someone clarify which bit of maternity pay the government reimburses , the 6 weeks at 90% or only the 33 weeks at the flat rate? Thank you.

belleMarie · 28/06/2012 17:28

Maybe she wants her nanny to quit hence not paying for paternity pay OR

her and her nanny are on this together

because no body could be this cruel.

Working for her must be HELL. Her piercing icy cold blue eyes on you...shudder at the thought!

She's a virago - she equates being successful with acting like the worst type of bullying braying man. SHe also appears to have cultivated a career as a rentable panto villain - wheeled out for jaw dropping sexist punditry every once in a while. I can't think who would seriously employ her for anything other than a cameo as Wicked Stepmother during the festive season - wonder who her clients are as a consultant.

BorisJohnsonsHair · 28/06/2012 17:29

She simply has to be the single most repulsive woman (besides Thatcher) that I've ever had to hear speak. Let's hope no one wants to be her nanny and she has to look after the children herself for once (poor kids though).

LadyBeagleEyes · 28/06/2012 17:31

I really hope the nanny has some sort of right of reply.
Would she have had to give permission for this article?
If it had been me and my employer had splashed my name all over the papers I would have been livid.

Deadwasp · 28/06/2012 17:31

I love the fact she previously hired nanny recommended by a friend now she will use an agency......is that because she no longer has any friends?

Scholes34 · 28/06/2012 17:32

With such a packed diary and a work-centric life, does this woman ever spend any time with her children, or will she just be waiting until they're old enough to go on the payroll and she'll then see them in the office?

Mrsjay · 28/06/2012 17:32

she is an arsehole of a woman i really can't stick her horrible vile person,

I can't bear the woman and think she gives ambitious working women a terrible name and image. However I'm also certain she is just an attention seeking wannabe celebrity, who we'd do better off ignoring.

Let's face it, she can't actually be too terrible if someone has worked for her for 5 years - she really can't. So she must just spout any old claptrap to the media in order to be heard.

Mrsjay · 28/06/2012 17:36

What does she even do now i just see her on tv usually daybreak spouting rubbish about nothing and that voice of hers that frigging voice Angry

ShellyBoobs · 28/06/2012 17:37

Did she really refer to her husband as "Mark, 48"?

Who gives a fuck how old he is. It's totally irrelevant to the rest of the bollocks she's talking.

She's living proof that reality TV should be banished from the TVs of the world.

NeedlesCuties · 28/06/2012 17:39

hits head off desk<

Some of the comments are just as vile. I clicked on the 'worst rated' comments and the level of praise for Saint Katie from some DM readers was unreal.

YANBU, OP.

gordyslovesheep · 28/06/2012 17:42

oh she is hideous isn't she - just a thoroughly unpleasant human being - I can think of nothing redeeming about her.

samandi · 28/06/2012 17:47

Hmm, so the nanny has a "sense of entitlement" for attending antenatal classes and taking longer than two weeks maternity leave?

What a repulsive person. It sounds as though she has some kind of inferiority complex by some of her statements.

QueenSconetta · 28/06/2012 17:54

I am actually speechless. Why have children if you treat them with such disdain.

Sparklingbrook · 28/06/2012 18:01

She's horrible. 'how much tolerance to show the pregnant carer'? Yes because being pregnant and looking after 3 of someone else's kids would be a walk in the park wouldn't it? How dare the nanny get pregnant? Angry I think the Nanny may have wanted a way out......

CailinDana · 28/06/2012 18:02

At least when her children go for counselling as adults they'll have documentary evidence of what their mother was like. And she can hardly turn around and say "I did my best for you," or deny what a shit mother she was which will be a help to them. I think she'll have a rude awakening when she's 60, burnt out and no one gives a shit that she was on the Apprentice and her children barely know her. I honestly struggle to understand people like this - why would you ever claim that not giving shit about being pregnant and leaving a two week old baby in childcare is actually a good thing?

Sparklingbrook · 28/06/2012 18:05

Married man, and topless in a field. I always think of this whenever her name comes up. Grin

CailinDana · 28/06/2012 18:08

Ha! Those photos are completely posed. What a freak that woman is, I feel so sorry for her children.

Fluffycloudland77 · 28/06/2012 18:10

Oh I know exactly how she feels, my car valeter bought a Porsche and spends more time polishing it than my car.

The poor nanny. I'm not buying the 37 thing either.

DontmindifIdo · 28/06/2012 18:14

missing scans? really? You need 2! Yes, most woman of her 'level' tend to pay for extras, but not doing that is not 'missing scans' it's "not being arsed to have extra" - rather different. And am i the only one who also was in a job where I couldn't take lots of time off so did Antenatel classes on a weekend?

she's one of those woman who make a big song and dance about how important they are, but actually when you look at it, they aren't earning all that much and aren't exactly one of the "masters of the universe" in the City...

Mrsjay · 28/06/2012 18:17

I saw her celeb 4 weddings she was on it with an old wag david van day who is also vile and somebody else (cant remember) and she was by far the vilest and her dress was horrible Grin

treas · 28/06/2012 18:18

That fact that she was prepared to risk damage to herself and / or her child by lying to the Airline so she could fly at 8 months pregnant sums her up for me.
