I see that the twitter mob are out in force again.
Angry viewers responded to Hopkins’ remarks on Twitter, with some tweeting outrage that the show had invited her on as a guest.
Stephen Catt tweeted: “A shame The Wright Stuff allowed Katie Hopkins on the show to have another chance to look down on people with normal names,” while user Katie_le_geek said: “I actually don’t know why The Wright Stuff has Katie Hopkins on the show. She is clearly classist and is just making class issues worse.”
What these idiots fail to understand is this; freedom of speech trumps their paper-thin skins and Ms Hopkins is winding them up big time. Frankly, more power to her elbow. I may not agree with what she says, but I defend her right to say it and she is winding up all the right people…
Makes I larf!
She’s playing this lot like a fiddle, isn’t she, this saucy little monkey? And do you know what really, really winds them all up? It isn’t because she’s criticising the cheeldren – which of course is the excuse that they’re all using to work themselves into a self-righteous lather – it’s because although a name like Chantelle or Chardonnay tells you nothing about the poor child who rejoices in such a moniker, it tells you a great deal about the parents who bestowed it upon said child …
Quite right, anyone with any class would call their darlings Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, Sancerre and Chablis. Chardonnay is for those who want to look down their nose at Blue Nun drinkers but can’t stomach really dry white wine.
“…and she is winding up all the right people…”
😀
Ms Hopkins has always done this from her first appearance on The Apprentice, she couples her wind-up skills with an unfortunate manner . When you consider she went right through the apprentice and then in the final told lord sugar she has wasted his time because even were he to offer her the job she “couldn’t and wouldn’t take it” this tells you something very important about this woman, she just likes stirring it up, mostly to gain attention.
However as you say she has a right to her freedom of speech as do the rest of us!
She is still however as annoying as fingernails down a chalk board! 😉
I’ve never watched the Apprentice – can’t stand Sugar who has to be one of the most annoying men on the planet. if she wound him up, then she just went up in my estimation. 😈
Oh I didn’t watch it I just know from reading about her that apparently that’s what she did!
Alan Sugar is a diabolical little man!
Nay in fact he gives diabolical little men a bad name!
And hes a Leftie!
Yep, she’s probably exaggerating for the purpose of winding up the PC brigade and good on her if she is. Of course she should be able to say what she likes and the reactions from some people are quite telling. Talk about sense of proportion, or lack thereof.
Having said that, if she does behave in the manner she purports to then I do feel sorry for her kids. This is the “precautionary principle” run riot and you do wonder how many other opportunities and (innocent) pleasures they may be denied due to their mother’s almost-religious narrow-mindedness. Not only that, it’s probably counterproductive. If she specifically prohibits her kids playing with people they have become friends with then it won’t stop it happening. They’ll still play together behind her back, assuming she doesn’t keep them under lock and key. By making this “naughty” in itself it’s likely to bring out their rebellious side (which, let’s face it, is a healthy trait which all kids – and adults – have somewhere deep down) and is liable to make them behave in a “worse” manner than they would otherwise have done.
Kids are not generally stupid and it is unlikely that a well-brought-up child would choose to become friends with serious troublemakers of its own accord. On the rare occasions that this may happen, surely then is the time for the mother to be exercising control and not before. Hence her attitude raises concern not “because it offends certain people” but rather because it would seem to illustrate she considers her own kids to be stupid, gullible possessions who cannot be trusted.
“…Yep, she’s probably exaggerating for the purpose of winding up the PC brigade and good on her if she is…”
Quite.
There are those whose witterings really annoy me, and some who I find really offensive, but I’m mature enough to accept that others are perfectly free to be utter morons, and that I actually do not have any right “not to be offended”.
In fact, apart from the most fundamental basics, I perceive very few of my blessings as “rights”; they’re privileges, earned by a) sticking to society’s rules, and b) working to support myself & loved ones…
