Hatey Katey

Hows about Katie Hopkins?  You either love her or hate ‘er, don’t you? I mean dontcha?

I wouldn’t like to be on the wrong end of a tongue lashing from Katie, but you have to admire someone who’s made a successful and maybe lucrative career out of shit-stirring. Creative or what?

Mind you, the Tweeting thing was witty. I don’t know about the ‘sweaty’ bit - what was that actually about - but the  “Not so independent when it matters most are we jocksville?" had a bit of a sting in it, eh what? 

The Apprentice has a lot to answer for. Katie does take risks in pursuit of infamy. Her spat with Peaches Geldof was so ill-timed, it was a wonder wasn’t fazed by that; some professional shit-stirrers might not have bounced back, but Katie lived to hate another day. Let’s hope the ebola nurse pulls through. To lose one target of your wit and ire is a misfortune, but to lose two looks like carelessness.  

Then there’s the Seagull incident. I speak as a one-time surrogate mother to a baby seagull, so I’m fully qualified to opine. The aforementioned infant fell into the garden and made such a racket that we had to feed it and encourage it to fly by running round flapping our arms. Off it went one day, and a handsome specimen it was too.

Nevertheless, who could seriously worry about the fate of a seagull? If one little kick didn’t prompt it to fly off, it was its own fault.

A seagull once flew into the path of a friend’s van. Bang! 

“Is he okay?” he wondered. His mate reassured him. “Yep; he’s carrying on on foot”.

Ha ha.

Hatey Katey (and her weightey)  Was Katie Hopkins wise to bulk up and slim down again just for a face-saving stunt? She looks worryingly thin now. Not everyone could match her iron-willed determination.  She took the weight gain and loss to a bonkers degree and it would be ironic if her self-inflicted body-abuse needed medical attention. Apparently she already needs a lot of that due to epilepsy, which is a great shame.

The sympathetic piece in the Telegraph makes her look good - too good for the bad-gel image I’d have thought. The video on the other hand shows her being very annoying. A flick of the hair, a toss of the head, and, ironically, an unfortunate stumble over a boast of her own ‘linguistic dexterity’ made her look slightly foolish. You know, like a pedant’s accidental grammatical error in his critique of another’s. What’s annoyingest of all is that she’s picked up those celebrity mannerisms, the “I don’t care what people think’ smile, the raised eyebrows, flick of the hair, toss of the head, the caricature defiance.

She is awful. But I laik her. Hope she doesn’t get custodial.
