    Silly me making a judgement about someone ruining 3 long term marriages, which a lot of children's families were ruined by. God you are right I am in the same category as someone who judges someone on their name.

    And I would have assumed you would have watched the interview therefore seen her statement about geographical names. I am clueless as to why you want to cause an argument really I am. I mean your random statement about Muslims was just plain weird and yet you pull me up for a valid point !!!

    Whats facts do you have the families were ruined by her?

    I am simply stating that you are acting exactly the same as her but with a different situation, if you cant handle the truth then dont get involved.

    I am not going to argue with you as you clearly are attempting to insult me in a sneaky way by trying to be clever and skating around the boundaries of innapropriate language.

    Sorry if you feel insulted...my "stupid" comment could maybe have been worded more tactfully - but I didn't mean "on the spectrum" in a negative way...I myself am borderline autistic and struggle to "read between the lines" at times...which I guess is my point...if even I can see what Foxn86 meant, you must be pretty blind to this stuff....and that's not an insult, just an observation.

    No offence, but that is a pointless thing to post.

    Since when has agreeing with another poster been "pointless"?

    Edit: Just read the rest of the thread and its obvious no-one else's opinion counts except yours. Ignore me.

    Are you for real honestly !!!! yeah a child would not be affected by their parents marriage falling apart and going through courts for divorce settlements as all 3 actually did. She also did an interview in which she boasted about this. But yes you are right a child would never be affected by their family breaking down again silly me.

    However I would like you to fully explain that by me stating a FACT or FACTS should I say. How this makes me the same as someone who judges people on their name, doesn't meet them or anything just hears a name. From this name she knows this child has uneducated parents is a trouble maker, homework is a mess and theyre always late for school. And she gets all of that from a name. Yet I stated FACTS and yet you seem to say I am exactly the same as her.

    Clearly she was correct me being middle class I am clearly very uneducated then. As I am confused you still have not gave me a valid explanation. Oh and funny I see you don't want to continue an argument with the OP who is male I take it you get a little kick of doing it with a female then.

    I Think alot of white middle class parents would have a problem if there daughter came home with a new boyfriend that was muslim with a long beard and was a strict follower of Allah, that also hated the British governement.

    However you cant say it, as you would be called a racist or a hater.

    But that doesnt have anything to do with this subject. Also, there are people who are out and out racist who are white. My family have plenty of Muslim friends who are strict followers of Allah, some were asylum seekers and some were granted asylum in the UK and I could tell some stories about how they were treated in jails and detention centres that might shock people. After having gone through things in their home countries that people here wont suffer in a lifetime.

    Some people have good reason to dislike the British Govt, but theres a scale from people having their own views, to people who are hate preachers. The Muslims I know personally just want to live a peaceful life.

    Katie Hopkins comes across as a raging snob as far as Im concerned. I really dont care about class very much. Im working class and so are my family, although I might be in some other class now, one where Im educated but skint, sure theres a classification for that.

    I dont care if people want to send their kids to state schools or to private schools. Thats their choice. And no, I dont think kids being called names such as Mercedes, chardonnay or Tuscany does them any favours. I know kids that were called Tuscany and Valencia, assuming thats where they were both conceived and I think the names are ridiculous but thats just my view.

    But Hopkins takes it too far when she will only allow her daughters to play with or go to parties with kids with acceptable names, shes forcing her own ridiculous choices on those poor kids.

    I dont think its the worst thing in the world to have kids with different dads. My dad and my brothers dad arent in our lives, totally their choice.

    But parading yourself around with a married man and then judging other peoples lives? I think shes just full of hot air, but then she needs to earn a pay the same way as everyone else, I just dont know how shes all of a sudden even qualified to be on talk shows and talk her brand of cack.

    As I said before, shes just one of these women who always wants to be in the news, like Sibary, Brick, she seems to suffer from terrible self esteem, hence having to write about every single minute detail of her horribly boring life all over the press and criticising other people for not being as perfect as her.

    She could do with having some therapy and then !!!!!!ing off out of the limelight for a few years to bring those poor kids up in peace and quiet.

    But this is the times we live in, where you get your face on a tv show for a few weeks and you suddenly become some kind of expert in every subject under the sun.

    Yes there is, you're right, well done!

    I don't get your point though... Two sides to a story?

    You asked for proof that lives had been ruined by her antics (or whatever you said). I gave you an article by someone whose life had been ruined by her antics.

    I don't think there is another side to that... Is there?
