I could only watch it for a short time - the attempts by Katie (shouldn't that be Katherine, or Kathleen?) to look interested about what anyone else said was really saying
'Whatever you say, you're not as good as me'.
Obviously a helicopter mother. I feel sorry for her children, they're doomed to be disliked by everyone except the few with parents as ignorant and self absorbed as theirs. :-| :-| :-|

Hopefully she will come back as a child in a third world country a child who has been abandoned a child with no name.

It's obvious to me that her children are not allowed
to decide anything for themselves.
She may live to regret that when they are older.

By the look on her face I don't think she liked it when,at the end, Holly said Oh STOP, stop it right there. Also noticed that she kept calling Holly Hols in a very matey way.

I actually laughed she was so annoying. But come on we all know there are Katies of the world, I dont know anything of this women really havent a clue. But I suspect that katie's own life somewhat mirrors that as she wants for her own children. This how she was brought up, maybe her own mother didnt want her to play with girls named Tracy Sharon Hayley ( wasn't a popular name through the 60's and 70's when I was growing up ) but thought I throw it in :-D

The Katies of this world, have their lives mapped out by their own over baring Mothers, they are normally have their own social circle and must have some social standing, normally evolves round money. Katie would have had her school picked out before she was born and even her playmates and then later on a suitable husband. Katies children lives more or less have been the same, I suspect if Katie has a son his name will be that of old family. I am trying my hardest to stay away from culture and religion here but thats what was jumping in to mind whilst watching it.
Before Katie's first child was even conceived, she would of known which doctor and outfit she was going to give birth in and push chair she would buy and even the best bathtime Am PM ? It would be of been discussed in their social circle!
Childrens names of course would be major issue. Pretty names for a girl and strong names for a boy or as I said one that is tradition. And this doesnt always boil down to class neither. I have stood in the play ground waiting for my own children and seen such circles of women, they were the breast feeding group seriously a group of new mothers that formed their own group. My own daughter was often invited to birthday parties because she was a very pleasant young lady but not many other outsiders were.
All Katie Hopkins has done is expose these social snobs and not in a very good light but they are out there and have been for generations.

:-D

I didn't like the woman but I and many of my friends wouldn't dream of nodding in agreement if one of our grandkid's suggested names were 'naff'.

That's 'naff' in our view not every ones' of course....lolol

However, it isn't the child's fault that the parents chose a fashionable name and so why on earth judge the poor child?

Now I have to go and see why Hammersmith and Stepney are crying ;-)

I knew a woman like Katie when I was at Uni. We were both mature students, both in our 40's, both studying religion and education.
She had an unusual surname, courtesy of her ex, always going on about how she'd run her own business (but I presume it had folded), children were at private school etc. I did say both my children had passed for a scholarship to the same school - but I didn't like the atmosphere.
One day a lecturer told me he would have to mark my work down, as it wasn't written academically enough, when 'others' - and I knew who - were coming out with wonderful stuff.
I argued that it was much more work to translate academic -speak into normal English, and it proved I knew what I was writing about, but if he wanted essays that were just tracts taken from others' work I was capable of that.

Anyhoo, 'herself' and a male cohort (who didn't stand a hope - his surname was Smith) regularly came into lectures quoting academic gobbledegook left, right and centre. They even managed to take it a level above rubbish, so even some lecturers couldn't understand them.
This was very off putting and unnerving to some of the younger students, and I found it irritating beyond belief.
One day I'd had enough. 'Oh yes' said I, 'I read that tract too. What do you think he means?' The reply was more gobbldegook.
'Pretend I'm a child, translate'. I asked. They couldn't - so I did.
Point proven.
I got an apology from the lecturer, my marks went up - someone elses went down :-D

'Herself' then put herself forward to teach religion at the local 6th form college. She had a trial run. I didn't know what 'herself' had done, but my daughter was there - doing religion as a subsidiary.
She came home with some extremely derogatory comments about the potential new RE teacher, not just about her teaching, but her attitude 'I'm better than you', and the cr*p she came out with.
Sounded familiar. I realised who it was, and rather evilly asked daughter what they were studying, then let her read what I'd written (in normal language) and the academic version.
Next RE lesson, daughter managed to see through the academic speak and ask pertinent questions - up until then, none of the students had said anything as they hadn't a clue what she was talking about.
Sad to say 'herself' was flummoxed when a student knew more than she did, was unable to answer, (well not in language they could understand) and fortunately for the students, didn't get the job. :-D :-D

It all boils down too, the likes of Katie Hopkins and such , the name is in the family history and social standing,

Young Brocklyn dads is obviously a football fan therefore must be working class and thick and his mother a fake tan blinged up dumb blonde, yes they may have a few bob but must be new money.

Where as young Tarquin and Tristian grandparents are memebers of the tennis club our sort of chaps.

Someone may be 'well educated' - attended one of the 'best' schools, but they can still be ignorant, thick, and short-sighted - as Katie has shown!!!
