Deborah Ross on Katy Hopkins!

She had to pay £24,000 in damages plus undisclosed costs as a result of being successfully sued for libel by Jack Munroe.

A most unpleasant lady much loved by Leavers, I understand who has had her comeuppance for continually sailing too close to the wind..

who is she?

She was on The Apprentice a few years ago. Very vocal on twitter regarding the damage to society and host country values due to immigration from mainly Muslim countries.

Will not let her children play with children whose names are - Chardonnay, or any other so called "downmarket" / chav name, her words not mine.

referred to immigrants drowning in the Mediterranean as cockroaches.

A vile individual. Not sure where ' much loved by leavers ' comes from. I understand that most people with common sense and deceny have no time for Katy Hopkins.

Much loved by Leavers? Those would be the people giving their children chavvy names, I suppose.

Oh her. Yes, I do know now.

much loved by leavers nor me, anna7 - well, I'm not a leaver but I have never heard anyone at all, however they vote on anything at all, express any approbation towards her.

Jalima Have a look at her Wikipedia biography at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_Hopkins (though I hate giving her the "oxygen of publicity" that she craves)

Off to have a Chardonnay
or shall I have a Merlot?

Thanks Elegran

I think she lives in Devon too.
Stuff a pasty in her mouth.

Sorry, that sounds crude.

And giving their children geographic names, but she claims that her daughter's name, India, is "not related to a place".

Of course not, Elegran She's called her daughter after one of the Mountbattens, doncha know?

Oh that's all right then. It wasn't after that big continent that is the first thing that everyone thinks of when they see or hear the five-letter word "India", it was after a posh sprog.

I wonder who or what the Mountbattens named their child India after? It couldn't be after a continent (that would be so common) so there must be a hidden seam of aristocratic Indias that the plebs don't know about.

'much loved by Leavers'? She had a huge Brexiter following on twitter.

There was an India in 'Gone with the Wind'. Perhaps she (KH) saw the film...

It couldn't be after a continent (that would be so common)

I don't know...how about Florence and Parthenope Nightingale? Named after cities, I grant you, but certainly not common (in either sense of the word)

How would we know MaizieD?

India - has she ever been there?
Actually confession time, nor have I.

But none of my DD is called India.

It truly couldn't happen to a more deserving cause

But Katy thinks that geographic names are common, so I would have thought she would abhor a name like India (or Florence or Parthenope.

Paris anyone?

Adelaide, Victoria, Katherine? Which came first chicken or egg name or person?

Perhaps she liked Gone With The Wind ? India Wilkes

Sorry missed Maizie’s post

Wasn’t Mountbatten the last Viceroy of India ?

He was also the governor of the Isle of Wight but Vectis doesn't have much of a ring to it.

Neither does Parkhurst.

The Mountbattens daughters were Patricia and Pamela.
Annie yes, he was. And very couldrful it was too, especially the ménage a trois he and Edwina had with Nehru
