What does she say ?

you tube her
Cant be bothered tbh ! Was hoping for a quick review here lol
I don't think anyone gives much thought on adults impacts on children.
I thought the days of witch hunting was over and we lived in the days of freedom of speech. I might agree or not agree with some of the things she says but I admire her for being strong enough to speak her own mind. I think many people hold back saying exactly what they think for fear of reprisal.
I think it is personally unfair to children to tarnish them with a brush based on a name their parents have given them. Likewise I think her children would be suffering and missing out befriending children based on their mothers judgements.
I also feel sorry for her children if they see the images of what Edenbridge have done to their mother.
I feel for all the children when adults have such judgements of others for me Edenbridge have shown the same level of immature judgement as she did in a lot of what she says.
For instance we all know why a guy is the image burnt on a bonfire and what that represents in history. To be burning someone for their freedom of speech. Will they not be showing children watching that it is ok to burn people as you don't agree with what they say in public?
Adults may laugh but children ask questions when trying to understand the world around them I would like to know what any parents responses will be at the bonfire or when children ask about the images in the newspaper mean and why an image of someone is being burnt.
I think the children are the ones that suffer the most in the end. Seems nobody cares about impacts on them.
I thought adults should be trying to educate them. Sorry I wouldn't like my children educated in this way.
When interviewed stood next to the actual effigy Katie Hopkins said she thought it was all good fun and she took it on the chin like a trooper, so i'm sure her children wont be affected by it one bit - why does everyone have to take life so bloody seriously??????
The bonfire Societies of Edenbridge and Lewes have been around for a long long time, every year they choose a controversial *celebrity* to effigy and burn, its never malicious -
one would imagine that by now her children have skin as thick as a rinho
on the other hand im sure most of what she says is constructed to offend based on an impromptu interview i see her try to wriggle out of as she had very little in the way of answers to the questions she was asked

I take life more seriously than I ever take myself. wink
I wouldn't have thought for one moment Katie Hopkins would have taken it seriously.
I was looking beyond the obvious.
The Fact that the Edenbridge and Lewes Societies have been around for a long time and their meaning behind it is humour, I understand that, you get that,there will be a lot more people that don't get it is my point.
Many children don't understand that type of humour believe me. It was done for adults to have a laugh about but doing it where families attend not everyone would understand the humour behind it.

I agree with you about her children.
I think when you have a parent that enjoys media attention in the way she does, you have to as her children learn to have a thick skin if you like it or not. I don't think they get much choice. They still must have to deal with things inflicted upon them from their mothers actions. We all do to a degree, just often it is more discrete.
I'm afraid in my mind this woman is getting exactly what she wants. rolleyes The fact that she's now come out in support of it means they should pull the stunt and replace her with someone else.
She has failed at attracting celebrity in other ways, so she uses controversy to further her career.... and it's working. Her televised spats with Holly Willoughby are infamous, and are the main reason she keeps getting repeat appearances on that morning show.
I don't for a second believe she actually lives by her own public creed. I'm willing to bet that if someone with an obese child called Tyler offered her a TV show she'd adopt him as her kid's BFF.
Let's face it, if she was a nobody and she came in here with her over the top views, we'd just label her a troll and do our best to ignore her. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way in the media. sad
I've never heard of Katie Hopkins, and can't be arsed enough to google it.
suppose too late for Rebecca Brookes, ho well

always next year innocent
I've never met Rebecca, but I do know her hubby from the horse racing world. I also know that she used to date Ross Kemp. Just a little snippet of useless information.
