Whenever I see her on the telly, it's like watching a tennis match, she has her say which is usually outrageous and looks to her opponent with a stange look but it was funny when she was asked about her childrens'names, I don't think she was expecting that comment.:D
There is a thread about this on showbiz. Personally I prefer this one where, if she's playing panto villain or whatever, she visibly starts to crack when told the truth.

All very well and true but it still doesn't alter the fact that she's an imbecile.
Can you imagine having her as a mother? I think it would be far more damaging to the child than naming them Tyler.
True, true.
Even if she's a troll she is still a nasty piece of work to want to be one in the first place. Especially in her writing for the Daily Mail, which must be like selling your soul to the devil.
I like Katie.
Not afraid to say what she thinks.
I really don't think she is a imbecile, anything but.
She's courting controversy through the media by judging children by their names. I would think this is the very definition of an imbecile where I come from.
Whatever education she may have had has failed her miserably.
What an idiot this woman is. She knows exactly what she's doing though; she's carved a career out of saying things for 'shock value' and to be controversial. People should stop giving her airtime.
I've no intention of watching the video, but I gather it was an interview in which Hopkins says she judges kids and their families by the kids' names. Didn't she make these exact same points in the DM months ago*, and got similarly slated for it? I'm just surprised that no-one in the entire This Morning team, up to and including Phil and Wil, had heard her views before. Had anyone known Hopkins was well known for this sort of schtick, I'm sure they'd never have booked her. I'm sure the last thing TM would ever want to is deliberately court controversy and get everyone talking about the show.
I can't stand Hopkins, but lets be honest, we all have names we dislike and we all have names we associate with certain 'types' or classes. Neville's or Melvins = grey, geeky, boring Chardonnay, Chelsey, brandee= chavvy brats, etc etc
Doesn't mean I agree that I'd stop my kids playing with them,but we do all make a judgement on a name, that isn't nessisary ly a lasting judgement, but when you hear someone's called thier baby billy-joe you think country hick or crystal you think stripper..... Kids may grow up to be world leaders but you still get an impression from their name.

It's all very calculated, this. Of course she's being paid to be as obnoxious as possible. All the same, she must be to some extent 'like' that to perform so convincingly. She's like the performing seal the media drag out whenever they're looking for a bit of controversy and, in fairness, she plays it well.
Think it has started to backfire, though, and if she's not careful, her kids are going to be the ones to suffer.
Loved the expression on her face when Holly told her to stop. You could tell that she wasn't expecting lovely, sweet Holly to fit her up.
ETA: The hotshot, hardnosed businesswoman can't be doing that well if she's having to **** herself out to the media like this.

What about Moon unit, Zowie, Fifi Trixibelle etc?
She knows exactly what she's doing.
So do the media outlets who give her any air time or column inches.

She must be upping her June/July trolling so she can spend her troll funds on a lovely exotic holiday in August.

Social mobility all the way.:)
She doesnt get it even when its pointed out to her, thick bint

People who say what they think or proudly 'tell it like it is' ARE usually imbeciles.
It's quite possible to do that without being a panto-style villain in the way Katie Hopkins has been presenting herself, though.
PHILIP: Your daughter is called 'India'.
Haha
