    The most famous person in the country, apparently. She said something to wind people up on This Morning and she's now angered students and unemployed people up and down the country.

    Someone who's making quite a nice living by airing her controversial opinions in the media. :cool:

    Mothers who take the full year maternity take the pee, they should only be allowed the same as the father.

    Pop it out and get back to work lazy bones.

    Oh lordy, he's back. :doh:

    As much as it is infuriating seeing her spout such vile things, she is making a lot of money from it and everyone talking about 'her.' Remember, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

    If everyone ignored her and her comments, she would be down the dole office as the only way she makes a living is offending others.

    Meh, I think I'm alone in the universe, but I certainly agree with aspects of what she's saying - even if I don't agree with how she's saying it....and I wouldn't call myself "nasty" or "small minded".

    My sentiments EXACTLY. I believe that many more people think along similar lines to Katie than people care to admit. And like I said, there's a lot of truth in it. It *is* largely 'chavs' who call their kids ludicrous names with preposterous spellings. And obviously the only one getting offended are the ones with kids with these kind of naff names. It makes me laugh when they say 'MY daughter is called Crystal Lulubelle and I am not a chav!' Ermmmm, OK then! :rotfl:

    When I was in town yesterday, I saw and heard a number of women - all alike: on their mobile, smoking, yelling at their kids, hoards of kids around them, tattoos all over them, hair scrunched back into a 'Croydon facelift,' pink leggings; baggy at the knees with stains on them: and EVERY last one was calling names like 'Jaden' 'Courtney' 'Princess' 'Summer' ' 'Shandie' So no matter how much it annoys people that some people are spouting 'sweeping generalisations; there is a LOT of truth in it! :cool:
