Katie Hopkins (with apologies) a digested read
A summary of her book
Very funny
The only thing is it sounds uncannily like the sort of thing she'd say.

I would be more than happy to never give Katie Hopkins another thought for the rest of my life. Help me with that by never mentioning her again. Thank you.

I have had to block her on twitter as I was fed up with reading her re-tweets.

A thoroughly unpleasant character I think.

Never heard of her before but she seems as divisive as Ann Coulter in the US. Loved the bit when they call her out on her kids names. I'm not a big fan of 'mad up names' that will haunt the kid all through their life and be the source of endlessly spelling out the name for officialdom.

Re: Katie Hopkins (with apologies) a digested read
Who's name? Katie Hopkins?
That was when she first became known to me. My wife was horrified.
The look on Phillip Schofield's face rather sums it up. And after all this time I still can't believe why she's employed for her opinions. I mean, if you are in the media then employ a controversial character by all means. Just not a ridiculous one.
Imagine Tim, nice but dim, presenting a political discussion show. Or Linda La Hughes' character (from Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee) being on an "advice" slot and you have ridiculous but funny. Hopkins is just too ridiculous for words and not funny.
Wow.

Re: Katie Hopkins (with apologies) a digested read
There are lots of things that don't make me cheer in Canada, but this woman reminds me just how much I don't regret leaving Britain.
Her...I'm just being a funny female twat...wants to make me throw up in a bucket
...and I've never used that emoji before!
It's patronizing in the extreme.
