and who in their right mind works for the woman? Every time I hear her, she is pontificating on something in a ridiculous and uninformed manner. I'm convinced her 'business' sitting at home, waiting to be rung up by some 'chat show' or news organisation who have been let down by someone who knows what they are talking about to spout some nonsense on any given subject. I'd love to be proven wrong though, just so I don't feel so stabby about the woman every time I think of her making a living out of making women feel bad all the time!

I do think every thing she says is designed to shock though, then she just sit's on her arse and waits for the cheque.
I wish the programmes that do employ her as rent-a-gob would find someone else to replace her and then she would disappear into oblivion.

I dunno who she is and I try to avoid slagging women off but that website is a bit odd, the two sides are do different I would have thought the celebrity side puts off people who would potentially employ her for consultancy. I would have thought it'd be better to keep the two sides (brands?) Separate?

SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter · 13/11/2012 15:15

I'm not sure who she is, but according to her website she's 32 www.katiehopkins.co.uk/Social-commentator.html. However, according to Wikipedia she was born in 1975. I admit, I'm dyscalculic, but even so that can't be right, can it?!

Ha, she didn't win the Apprentice, she got the Surrallan Finger. Didn't finish Sandhurst either. I sense a theme...

I think fancyanother's got lil' Katie's business model spot on. With human troll as a sideline, of course.

But but but. She did give spectacular entertainment value the time she tried to use MN as a springboard for her European political career. Ah, happy days!

fromparistoberlin · 13/11/2012 15:43

funnily enough there is nowhere on her webpage for

clients
testimonials

haha, wonder why

laughtergoodmedicine · 13/11/2012 15:48

She probably has a business in which she talks a lot without interuption.

'I thought that she was a professional Spitting Image puppet of Princess Anne?'

Now that's just insulting to Princess Anne, who, from many accounts, is a far nicer person.

BupcakesAndCunting · 13/11/2012 15:55

No, SurrAlan offered her the job and then the daft twat turned it down because of "family commitments" Hmm As though the news that she MIGHT actually get hired hadn't occured to her until that time.

Which, curiously, contradicts her "women shouldn't let motherhood get in the way of her career" bitch-with-bollocks persona.

Human troll is about right.

BupcakesAndCunting · 13/11/2012 15:59

Apologies to Princess Anne :(

TheCrackFox · 13/11/2012 16:01

He didn't, she bowed out of the competition when Surallan interrogated her helped her realise that her parents (aka the free childcare she had on tap) where unlikely to move half way across the country if he offered her a job. She was a time waster.

LadyBeagle · 13/11/2012 16:02

The thing about that Blog too Kim, is it's not original and she either nicked it all from MN or Jilly Cooper.
Certainly not her own work.
She's a plagiarist as well.

Fairylea · 13/11/2012 16:03

Talks out of her arse. Can't stand her.

BlueberryHill · 13/11/2012 16:08

Just googled Katie Hopkins to see the wonderful saint and sinner website (love the photos on the social commentator section). The third search listing that came up was Katie Hopkins sociopath. Just saying.

FreddieMercurysBolero · 13/11/2012 16:11

She has a passion for beautiful shoes? Much as I disliked her before, I dislike her even more now...

TheCrackFox · 13/11/2012 16:14

Steady on now, some sociopaths are likeable.......

IceBergJam · 13/11/2012 16:15

I think most definitly a human troll. It's either that or a very weak, insecure individual. Anyone holding such venom and dislike to a group of individuals generally does out of fear, insecurity or misunderstsnding. And her constant need to put others down and prove herself all stinks of insecurity.

And I can get the job done in addition to spending time with my children, working within equality and health and safety guidelines. If you cant 'get the job done' while maintaining equality you are either inefficient or dim.

But it's all fake to get on TV and make a name.

kiwigirl42 · 13/11/2012 16:26

I think she is comes across as a very nasty person who does a great deal of harm to the perception of working woman

fancyanother · 13/11/2012 16:56

Kiwigirl exactly. I was so annoyed. I wanted to find out a bit about the new policy, as I would like another child but, as I work on contracts, would have to go back to work fairly early. I thought 'oh, good, they are talking about this on the news. I can get some useful information'. Instead, they put that stupid woman on, spouting rubbish about how it's soooo hard for small businesses to have to sort out other peoples childcare blah blah and too little time on the sensible, intelligent, well informed woman who was on with her with actual helpful and relevant information. That blog! what an utter, utter bitch! She really is Chantelle Houghton for the thinking woman, isn't she? She thinks she will eventually be able to justify her comments by handing her children some trust fund money when they're older and say 'all that bollocks I spouted was all for you, darlings!' At least Chantelle is only hurting herself really and not bitching about other womens choices! ( sorry, I've clearly thought about this too much!)

I love her blog id imagine katie cant even remember wich child she gave birth too what with her being so busy and whatnot Grin she is a professional arse

Mrsjay · 13/11/2012 17:03

there is a mumsnetter who has a certain katie tone to their posts I am convinced it is her ( cant remember her name though probably NC)

SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter · 13/11/2012 17:43

MrsJay I think I know who you mean ;)

SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter · 13/11/2012 17:43

That's supposed to be a knowing wink, didn't work, bugger.

escape · 13/11/2012 17:50

I agree with every word written above - but SURELY you can't all have forgotten that 'staged' tabloid shot of her in a field with her skirt ' round her waist straddling the bloke she was having an affair with? That's what says Sociopath to me. On what planet would anyone hire her, and how on earth can she expect to be taken seriously.
