Katie Hopkins - vacuous moron

There seems to be a current trend for inviting guests with extreme views on to television these days, rather than people who represent the vast majority of opinion of either side of an argument.
This is true. Even R4's Today Programme feels the need to take a current affairs issue and engineer it into a polarised argument even when the those involved don't necessarily disagree.I think the woman in question is fair game for derision though, as she represents that horrible hypocritical streak of Daily Mail British society that noisily derides the masses one minute but then fails to act any better, (e.g. f
king another woman's husband in field and getting caught on camera amongst many other unfortunate incidents).rohrl said:
Why would anyone want to be widely and publically regarded as a total idiot though? If you're going to be a talking head on television why not say sensible and insightful things rather than spouting such utter rubbish?
Because she generates publicity and will be invited to other shows in the hope something equally galling is said generating more publicity.....Not to defend her and no defence for anything she has said or done but I happened to have seen another side of her.
She volunteers to appear at and compere at events for a charity called young epilepsy which is based around a live in school for children with epilepsy. Her link is that she is a sleep epileptic and regularly dislocates an arm in her sleep when fitting.
Interesting to see both sides of her nonetheless.

And you don't consider that some comments are made just to cause a reaction and get the publicity?

2. People who watch those types of shows are idiots anyway so what does it matter?
If it wasn't for PH I'd have no idea who Katie Hopkins or Liz Jones is. England and their obsession for celebrities is facinating as well as cringeworthy. At least they occasionally have big tits which makes it interesting.
I think the stuff she comes out with is sometimes graced with a little bit of wit, or some nugget that rings true with a lot of people, whether they would like to admit it or not it another matter..
Take those kids names for example, being all middle class company directors here, do YOU not cringe a bit when you hear "CHAAARRRDOONNNAAAAAY" or whatever stty chav-tastic name the kids are being called this week? Hairdresser is probably the most that one will ever amount to, maybe checkout girl, probably teenage mum.
Sure, I wouldn't go on TV and spout my prejudices, I'll save that for the Internet where only GCHQ are listening!
Also..
I think you all love her really and wish you had the balls to stroll around being a massive snob!
At least she's honest!

Welcome to the UK. Here is a short list of things you can say. The list of things you can't stay will be delivered by lorry to your home.
When you go out tomorrow and the tax man takes x% of your earnings, imagine handing those in person to Quatada's wife and 5 kids.
Childhood Obesity Week. sshhhhhhhhh. We can't talk about it because we mustn't tell children they are fat.
None of those raise a tiny tweak of a smile, or a little bit of daily mail righteous indignation?When you go out tomorrow and the tax man takes x% of your earnings, imagine handing those in person to Quatada's wife and 5 kids.
