Why do you lot torture yourself each time watching her? your only asking to get upset. Yes she is a vile human being with a very closed off mind but the more people watch her the more she will revel in the controversy.

I don't go out of my way to watch her on TV. She gets on my nerves. I can't be bothered with the utter nonsense she goes on about, especially when you can see in her face that she's revelling in the negative reactions she gets from people in the audience or people near her. The only time I see her antics is when someone posts a link to a video on here.

She was an adult woman who had already been working in the media for several years and produced documentaries. Let's not pretend she was some naive teen who didn't realise what she was doing.

That doesn't mean she knew all about the darker side of the cult. The fact that she was taken in, shows that she was actually naive and gullible.

Actually she is still only 24, she has had two children with ten months between them..Most of her work in the media was when she was a teenager or barely 20, "several years" ago. She has a father with a production company which helped..and she has famous parents and she seems to be the most like Paula, so she attracted attention, in the same way Paris Jackson did. She just seems older because of who she is and because she had to grow up fast.
Why should she apologise? Should every person who has a religion apologise for things that have been done? All of them have dark moments in their history.....
Peaches Geldof lost the argument almost immediately with the 'Attachment parents love their children' line, suggesting anyone else doesn't.
These kind of finger waggers who like to passively aggressively suggest everyone else is wrong or bad because they don't think like them are truly awful.

Maybe because she has been on the other end of detached parenting. The problem is that Katie is the other extreme and writes about how much she is away from her children and expresses contempt for stay at home mothers, even with a new born child. She was back at work within two weeks, so should everyone else be...

Yes but the difference is Katie doesn't use passive aggressive 'you're evil therefore your opinion is wrong' techniques.
I mean even before Katie had started speaking Peaches was on the attack finding every little excuse to undermine someone she knew wasn't going to agree with her. She couldn't have her own argument and be strong with it she needed passive aggressive attacks. And that's the difference Katie might be harsh and upfront and not afraid to be a bit personal and a terrible snob but she never stoops to something so disgusting as to suggest parent who think a certain way don't love their children. Which is what Peaches Geldof and most the women who argue against Katie do in that oh so passive aggressive way. That to me is unacceptable.
And to be honest I've never heard Katie express contempt for any stay at home mother, I feel that is the argument you write for her. She expresses contempt for the stay at home mothers who wear their stay at home status as a badge of pride over those who choose to work... or those who expect somebody else to pay for them to stay at home. I mean she's obviously a Tory as such she's all about being able to make your own choices as long as you take complete responsibility for it.

From your screen name I take it you're a man. Am I right?
I don't think Peaches maintained anything of the sort. If you think she was passive-aggressive, then Katie was rude and childish with her face pulling antics. She was also nothing if not repetitive, going over her mantra of 'It's a bit ''knit your own Birkenstocks'' ' at least three times. She's a woman who leaves her own children for work and seems to treat them with contempt most of the time in her writing.
When I was a young child in the early 60's, working mums were a rarity, my own mum didn't go out to work and neither did the majority of the mums in my neighbourhood. With more people buying their own homes and rising prices women have had to take some of the strain off the family budget by working, and whilst from the POV of sexual equality it's a good thing but it also has its bad points in that perhaps because of this lack of mothering society is producing a lot of brattish, badly behaved kids. (JMO)
Each to their own I say and Katie needs to keep her big nose out of other people's attitudes to parenting when her own pretty much stinks. Peaches has had a bad deal in her own childhood, but seems determined to make things better for her own children. The true test will be in 20 years time if they grow into mature, balanced young people. The only adults I can see Katie's children growing up into are unloved, neurotic ones.
Katie Hopkins is fast moving into cult legend status. As many people have already said on here, she is a professional troll, nothing more, and the general reaction to each appearance on TV/ article she writes shows she is being a rather successful one.
I don't for a second believe that she 100% believes everything she is saying, far from it, and whilst she has said some pretty outrageous, inexcusable stuff, I also think she has a point on certain issues. The fact everyone takes what she says at face value is quite remarkable. Her delivery is of course completely OTT, and is designed to get a reaction/ cause outrage. Clearly it's working.

As a mother I found it irritating to hear someone called 'peaches' who is barely into her twenties giving parenting advice to the masses. I do not like KH, I found her facial gurning as annoying as the Geldof girl, but to hear that young pop-brat spouting about statistics and studies done in universities abroad and all this new-age nonsense tells me she is one of those by-the-book mothers whose children will turn out to be preciocious little toe-rags. Ms Geldof has done nothing of worth to earn her 'fame', KH is at least a woman who actually works, I find these celebrity offspring who ride along on their surnames to be utterly boring and vacuous. Kelly Osborne is another example. But Peaches Geldof giving parenting advice? of course all mothers tip their babies out of their prams onto the concrete don't they....

If she's so gullible then why is anyone giving her views on parenting any credence?

At 18 she was an adult woman. By your reckoning nobody seems to be an adult until their mid-20s.
I never said she needed to apologise, but before she starts portraying herself as an expert on motherhood, she need to address the fact that she has supported an organisation which hurts kids and forces female members of staff to have abortions when they fall pregnant.
Some of the women forced to abort their children were younger than Peaches.
I was completely offended and disgusted at her comments on Cot death, an arrogant slip of a thing giving opinion on a subject she is by far not qualified for, I would have had a more open mind on AP coming from a parent who had actually raised a child using the method and at least some form of evidence of success, Peaches kids are both still babies!!

I don't know if they are or not. She was just giving her opinion on something she believes in, and why.
How do you know if she hasn't addressed it to herself? Or do you want her to make a public announcement? As I said before, the chances are she doesn't even know!
You seem to be very knowledgeable about this cult, but that is because you have first-hand knowledge of what goes on.

I couldn't hear anything about Peaches views on cot death as Hopkins did nothing but speak over her.
You must have better hearing than me.
As to the success or failure of Peaches' AP, we'll have to see when they get older won't we?

Katie expressed contempt for the wife of a man she stole, because she was a stay at home mother...She has contempt for women no matter what they do...I don't know how much she loves her children, but she is embarrassing them and if she thinks Kelly Brook is a "chubster" and women should be size 8, her daughters will have tough time, if the gain weight as they go through puberty. She makes absence from home a thing that she is proud of and is open about childbirth and birthdays being unemotional...She is usually very personal in those discussions, saying " it is like being shouted at by a zebra in a wig",,,And she called Peaches a crap parent.

My father has an accident like that when I was in a pushchair, he was not a bad father. Peaches did not choose her name, she has sisters with daft names too. And she is a very young mother, in a steady relationship, she wasn't giving advise, she was explaining what she does and how it can work. She has clearly studied it in depth...Katie Hopkins has a style of parenthood which is uninvolved and hand the baby to the nanny at two weeks old.

She's also wrecked marriages and taken husbands away from their children, set up the paps to take pictures of her shagging in a field with one of these married men, and seems to be a totally unattached, unemotional mother.
I was rather gratified to read when she married and had a child by one of these 'stolen' men that he left her for another woman. What goes around comes around.

Actually Peaches spoke for a good number of minutes, Katie had barely opened her mouth when Peaches started spewing her rehearsed diatribe, Phil and Hollie had to tell Peaches to shut up and let Katie have her say, as, up till then PEACHES was doing all the "talking over"!!! And YES I must have better hearing than you because Peaches (the unknown scientist) enlightened us on the fact that its COTs that kill the babies

Oh dear, it must be bleak there up on the moral high ground, but at least you've cut down on the exclamation marks.
What she was trying to say was that cot deaths usually occur when the child is in the cot, not when they're in bed with the parents. I'm glad she got something over on that old trout, even if it was talking over.

She said its called "Cot death" because they occur in the cot and there is no name for CO sleeping deaths, I beg to differ, its called NEGLIGENCE!! She is NOT qualified to have such a public platform to comment on such a grave issue!

It can be termed 'overlaying' and the only time I've read about babies dying from it is when the parents have lain with the child in bed or on a sofa, been drunk or off their faces on drugs and rolled over on the child and suffocated them. My daughter and her partner took their nine-month old son into bed with them for an hour the other night, and they were both extremely aware of him being there and there was no danger of overlaying.
Peaches is perfectly qualified to talk about AP as she's actually doing it. KH on the other hand makes a living being controversial and acting the professional troll.

Hold on. All Peaches said was that "attachment parents love their children". She never said every other parent in the world doesn't, nor did she imply it. Which kind of negates your entire point as a great big straw man argument.
Peaches is defending a choice which is derided as hippy-ish, weird, obsessive and unnecessary. All she was doing is pointing out that AP parents are doing this because they love their babies and think it's best, rather than because they're weirdos or following some fad. Not that "AP parent's love their children" was part of some planned speech to shade the billions of people who don't use AP ideas when bringing up their kids - Peaches was simply expressing her opinions spontaneously.
Even if Peaches was being passive aggressive (of which there is zero evidence, besides your own biased imagination) it's rather extreme to say that Katie Hopkins - who has spewed hate speech against disabled people and is a proud home-wrecker - has "never stooped to something so disgusting" or "unacceptable". All for Peaches simply stating that AP parents love their children...

If Katie can express her pride at employing others to raise her children (while also bitching at anyone who hasn't made the same choice), why can't mothers express their pride when they do choose to stay at home? Double standards.
Also, sadly stay-at-home mums feel they have to justify themselves, as they are portrayed as unintelligent, unfashionable, pathetic, lazy, boring, irrelevant, obsessed with their babies and having nothing interesting to talk about. Stay-at-home mums are the ones who are constantly having to defend themselves from attacks, not working mothers, who are the current norm.
Some working parents imagine stay-at-home-mums are attacking them with every word they utter, because they feel guilty at not seeing their kids enough, and are also projecting their own feelings of derision at people with differing opinions to themselves. It's actually stay-at-home-mums - and even mothers who are simply deemed to be not sufficiently career-minded - who are the ones left constantly justifying themselves and their choices.
