Nadia's been brilliant tonight, actually. She made in-roads demonstrating maturity and perspective. She's been pretty consistent in disallowing the parasite that is Hopkins the publicity she's desperate for and even in her peaceful tact managed to make mincemeat of her.
Nadia's great.”
It was a putdown sure but 'brilliant'? Seriously?
Hmm, not for me. The old 'you only read the read tops so I will look down my nose at you and pour scorn on you' mantra is a pretty basic and hackneyed one.
It also makes the pretty ludicrous assumption that this would be Katie's paper of choice as a reader when i'd say it's far more likely she'd be a Telegraph/ Times or FT kind of person. I'm not a red top reader but she is also insulting and assuming she is 'better than' thousands upon thousands of working class folk.
When she works on perhaps the worst kind of trash of a show aka Loose Women, it's a bit rich to play the superior card when it comes to which newspaper people read.
Lastly if Katie Hopkins said that kind of a line to Nadia or worse the forum victim Alicia, we all know all hell would break loose on here and the mud would be flying before you had a chance to say boo to a goose.
A bit of consistency wouldn't go amiss from time to time.
