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!

Bloody hell, escape !
I had forgotten that 'papped' shot until just then. But now I need the brain bleach to be brought to me, please.

NB suspect that the people who hire her (now, I mean), are very right wing, 'little hitler' types, who get off on being bossed about by a blond reincarnation of Nanny, whose taken sideways-eye-glancing inspiration from Diana, Queen of Hearts during her mad years.

Katie Hopkins isnt important enough for me to care about.

I am sure she frequents MN and is probably rubbing her hands at all the comments that come from anyone mentioning her name.

We would all do far better to ignore her, then she really will go away :)

mrskeithrichards · 13/11/2012 18:46

I need to see those pictures

mrskeithrichards · 13/11/2012 18:53

My god she needs to update her wesite. 32?!

FlibberdeGibbet · 13/11/2012 19:02

Hope none of us dare to age in the wonderful utopia that KH espouses here - basically you should only be entitled to any form of geriatric care if you have paid sufficient taxes to cover the cost, and how dare OLD PEOPLE clog up doctors waiting rooms when La Hopkins sashays in wanting immediate medical attention!

I do find it quite amusing that a woman who makes her living by going on tv and slating other women who factor family commitments into decisions made about work ... is only famous in the first place for fighting tooth and nail to get offered a job which she turned down because of family commitments (and specifically the need for her to have free childcare despite the job offering £100k a year).

Bogeyface · 13/11/2012 19:42

And if she is 32 then I am 50!

(I am 39 btw :o )

Wallison · 13/11/2012 19:47

Obviously she had a hard paper round ...

I saw her on telly today as well, OP, and while I might have missed some kind of point the bit I saw was her saying how difficult it would be for employers who don't know the other side of the parental leave equation i.e. if they employ the wife, they won't know what the husband's plans are re paternity leave if he works for a different company. Which is a bizarre thing to be bellyaching about - if you don't employ the husband, why the fuck would you need to know how much time he is going to take off? Stupid bastard that she is.

Glitterknickaz · 13/11/2012 20:09

Hmm. Well on the age thing I'm 34 and was born in 1978...

onemoreoneoffnamechange · 13/11/2012 21:27

I heard her spouting her hideous views on a radio discussion show last week (where incidentally she managed to accuse a man of being lazy for giving up his paid employment to care for his severely disabled daughter), and when a caller asked her to explain exactly what her own business actually is, she got quite nasty with him and couldn't actually answer in plain English, just spewed out a lot of pathetic management speak.

There is something sinister about someone who seems to enjoy being hated and to actively seek out new people to hate her.

mrskeithrichards · 13/11/2012 21:33

Wiki says she's 37, that's a bit more like it. But that means her website is 5 years out of date!

givemeaclue · 13/11/2012 21:33

I need to hire Katie! she is "all about getting the job done"- she can start on the kitchen, Hoovering nd then theres the ironing. She can make me a cuppa while she is at it.

Slainte · 13/11/2012 21:53

MrsJay I know who you mean too, though I once asked her if she was KH on a thread and she curtly claimed that she doesn't watch TV (far too busy) so didn't know who I was talking about. I still think she is her though as she has the exact same attitudes as KH to most things.

Cazza72 · 13/11/2012 22:07

Can someone tell her that benefiting does not have 2 t's? What a wanker that woman is!

Bogeyface · 13/11/2012 22:11

Giveme that did make me laugh!

Shall we club together and hire her to "get the job done" on our houses?! :o

fancyanother · 13/11/2012 22:30

I did feel guilty about giving her the oxygen of publicity by starting a thread, but she just won't go away! When will the media stop employing her and let her sink into the oblivion she deserves?? I expect it from the DM, but Question Time? Really? The news? Is there no one else they could have got to talk about this, or frankly any other subject? Onemorenamechange yes, I was shouting 'No, you idiot, you talk to your employees and ask them about their plans. Employees are human beings with ears you know!' (unless, of course you are employed by Katie Hopkins, in which case you are just a figment of her imagination)

Oh I asked them too I cant even remember who it was honestly but it was 'the tone' that got me wondering

JakeBullet · 14/11/2012 08:38

Never heard of her but read one of the links posted here regarding the elderly. She is a real charmer isn't she? A plague of public lice is wished upon her

givemeaclue · 14/11/2012 14:46

Or even pubic lice !

Wallison · 14/11/2012 14:53

Public lice would be good too though. Lice that everyone can see - maybe crawling across her face or something. Then she could be given a bell to go around her neck while she walked the streets shouting 'Unclean! Unclean!'

TakeMyEyesButNotTheGoat · 14/11/2012 15:28

Can't stand the woman.

She has the face of an 80 year old man and the personality of a cunt.

Wallison · 14/11/2012 15:45

She is also veh thick. I wouldn't trust her to find her own arse with two hands and a map, much less turn around a failing company.

sue52 · 14/11/2012 15:54

I've just skimmed through her website. I'm still not sure what she does or what qualifies her as a rent a mouth on TV. She also bangs on about Margaret Thatcher being brilliant. Not exactly current is she?

Pendeen · 14/11/2012 16:58

The website has a link to Katie Hopkins MEP.

Clicking the link brings up an error message...

Now it can be told why

Another failure, but why mention it at all? Does she think people will be deluded into believing she is an MEP?

Even more surprising - nearly 9,000 people voted for her! Confused

ScaryHairyMcSweary · 14/11/2012 17:09

She has the face of an 80 year old man and the personality of a cunt. possibly my favourite insult ever! Grin
