    That Katie Hopkins woman is so boring. She is not even a good, funny snob!
    I don't like tattoos at all, but really....she makes everything seem so black or white. If you have a tattoo, you will never be an achiever. If your name is Tyler (?), you haven't done your homework and you are scum.

    And what is wrong with graffiti? :-(

    I like graffiti, makes walls more interesting.

    Tyler rhymes with my little ones name :(
    She'd hate me... tattooed, child with a non Victorian/unusual name, ginger sister and cousins.

    She is asinine. But the whole idea of having two intentionally apposing opinions on a morning TV show is pretty asinine, too.

    Well, you might like these guys 'tagging' the side of your house.

    But, probaly not these guys:

    I thought they invited her for just that one show. Thanks for the info.

    She likes the attention and the money. Nothing new there.

    No, I think she is on atleast once a week, and has been for a year or so. Don't ask me to find out!

    Just the idea Holly 'loses her cool' is ridiculous.

    Haha, ok. It's really not important :)

    I think she's just a social climber who thought acting like a snob would get her in with the higher-ups.

    I think that's hilarious and sad. Hilarious because two of my immediate family members are named Charmaine and Tyler, sad because she is as clueless as Marie Antoinette.

    One question that I find really interesting here is: are people's names in UK really that different in relation to their social class?

    Here all you can guess from certain names is how old the person is, because name trends change. We don't have rigid class structure, though, so that might be the reason for it.

    In a way yes and also no.

    You hear the more common names in council estates. That also might be because I dont live near much upper class areas. She just has extremely outdated views! In the victorian times maybe you'd segregate classes with different types of names. I know a few 'lower class' people with children that have extremely fancy posh names but aren't from a family of wealth or a brilliant area. Its personal preference really, this woman just takes it to a whole new level.

    To me it is just unusual that a name can be fancy or posh :).

    What about Anastasia, or Aristotle?


    BTW, I heard on the radio the other day that people with shorter names usually make more money at their job than others with longer names doing the same thing.

    So if you want your kid to make more money when they grow up you should name them Al, or Bob, or Kate, etc.

    Just a little pro-tip I thought I'd throw into this discussion.


    Anyway, back on topic, yea I'd like to choke that woman out also.

    She must be a plant to get ratings for the show, like people Jerry Springer has on his shows here in the states. I don't believe a word of it, lol.

    I'm not from UK and here our version of Anastasia would be considered a bit old fashioned and I've never heard of anyone named Aristotle in my country so it would just be unusual/rare.
