This petition actually exists?
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but not everybody is a left-wing, peace-loving hippie. Katie represents the minority in society, whose views are regarded as too politically incorrect to say publicly. I dare say, many are in denial when it comes to Katie. A lot of what she says does have a point, however OTT she may put it across. I thought we lived in a democracy, where people aren't silenced simply because the majority disagree with them. It's disgusting to say the least. Sooner or later, probably when she has to take things further in order to elicit a response, she'll do a Carol Thatcher, say the wrong thing, and she'll disappear beneath the stone from whence she came. |

I might get another tattoo. It will make absolutely no difference to my job; the only thing I have to do is time it so it doesn't affect my blood donor appointments.

12% of the population live in council properties. They are far from all poor; there is no process by which council tenants on good incomes are oliged to move. My point was that you cannot normally identify someone's social class by their name, common though it is for middle class people to chuckle to themselves about the 'chav names' they have heard of, probably online. What class are all those Harry's or Olivias? Any class at all.

The quality of her insults are akin to something you'd expect to hear on a school playground.
She smells of wee? Seriously? That's the best insult she'd managed to prepare? |

You don't hear many non-chavs called Jayden/Kayden etc.

I am FAR from being a Katie Hopkins fan, but I thought she was hysterical last night. She is extreme in the extreme and was being more than deliberately provocative. I also think for the first time ever she was going way OTT to get a laugh. It certainly worked for me.

I must be ignorant then. Despite Katie contradicting herself, which I openly admit to, I think you can judge somebody's social background by their name. Typically, those with tacky names like Lee, Chelsea, Kaden etc are from council estates. Not always, but most of the time.
Also, you're blind if you don't think people with tattoos are generally less successful. Who wants to employ somebody with tattoos all over their body? It doesn't send out a professional image. Ignorant!? You!? Some might say so, but I couldn't possibly comment. |

I'm not talking about the owning classes, I'm just talking about the everyday working person. I never encountered anyone at work or education with a name like that. The only ones I know with similar names (or names of their children) are jobless/ less educated and classy. I'm not saying people aren't kind because someone named Tyler and someone named Henrietta may be exactly the same. Just some names are preyed upon but the lower classes.
The general idea of a "chav" is someone who goes around demonstrating anti-social behaviour. I'm sure some employed people do that. Someone having a job doesn't automatically make them better people than someone who happens to be jobless, living on a council estate and actually wants to get out and change things. It's just another easy word to stereotype, sadly. Oh, there are definitely people who fit that mould, but they don't speak for all. I can vouch for that from experience. As for education, I came from a council estate and I performed very well in my education, better than some of those who'd probably look down on me actually. (This isn't just aimed at you, more of a general comment). |

I deleted it cos I rethought what I said. I don't think of a chav that way really, well those people are what I'd call a chav but it's more extensive than that (where I live). I moved to quite an impoverished city a few years ago and it's difficult to go a day without seeing a man drinking on a residential road, or a few young children out alone. Nothing to do with council housing and many of them privately rent.

Fair enough. Oh, I definitely agree that they exist, I was just pointing out that they don't represent everyone from a similar background, but we seem to be pretty much on a similar page on that after all.

Gosh, I can see why so many of you have trouble with someone "defaming" someone else's character.
Not like you'd do it yourself, or anything. |
