- Journalist & Broadcaster Sonia Poulton and ex-Apprentice star Katie Hopkins join Eammon and Ruth on the This Morning sofa to discuss what a horrible snobby parent Katie is!
Video owned by ITV/This Morning
I'm only twelve but I know that just because I've been late to school, I've misunderstood homework and handed it in and asked for help, my family isn't rich and at times we may not seem the most intelligent but you should judge a person on their character not their name or class. A persons intelligence levels cannot change due to their name of class. A child is born the way they are.
Katie was so rude interrupting her when Sonia gave Katie full respect whenever she spoke
Honestly I'm not a fan of names like Tyrone, Tyler, Chardonnay etc., but I'd never dislike someone purely because of their name. Once you become friends with someone, their name doesn't mean a thing. I might not like the name Tyler but I do have a friend who's name is Tyler. Lovely chap, well educated and entertaining.
my sons name is Robbie and he is the most gentle, clever and amazing young man.hes passed all his exams and is going to art college to study graphic design. katie hopkins needs to stop being a nasty snob.
And the name Katie....that's THE most common, name ever. She is a huge snob and tbh she just loves this attention. People should really ignore her then she wont be able to stand that.
"Alot of my sort of people would be at work". Lol Katie is so funny.
Oh how I would love to see her children interviewed on this show when they are adults. That is if you can get them away from their therapists long enough for an interview
Tyrones a lovely name!
katies a common name...
I know no tyrones
Katie what a snob ! Well done sonia!
Hasnt Katie ever heared of a "lazy day". I stay in my pjs most weekends!
A lot of young children that misbehave or look scruffy at school come from hard background and sometimes abusive households. They already have it difficultly enough at home, to on top of that make them have no friends is just so cruel!
Sonia is amazing! She has been raised the right way. I love her being not judgmental and I bet she has lovely kids!
No she’s not and ohhhh your name is Olivia…. Yeah my kids are not playing with yours
From my experience, you don't conciously "pick" your friends. Friendships just tend to happen.
I'm sorry, but I agree with her. She isn't really judging the children so much as the parents and lets be honest children do tend to gravitate towards what they are taught at home.
+Alex Van Alen LOL: Then I suppose we have to say that my type of people are all at work, aren't they. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
If I saw Katie Hopkins with her kids I would walk up to them (with their mum watching) and say "HI! MY NAMES CHARMAINE! HOW ARE YOU?" Lol
shes saying smart people
are the people her children should be friends with...
But I know alot of smarter children that are terrible friends
its so unfair!
I saw someone walking around the supermarket in a sleeping bag once.
"You're either intelligent or you're not", what a ridiculous statement.
She's judging the parents when she talks about kids names because the kid obviously didn't decided on that name, the parents did so she's actually judging the parents.
27% of respondents agreed with Katie?
Just over a quarter of people who responded to the survey agreed with Katie?
Oh boy.
when Sonia said you'd end up with a lot of Katie's I thought oh god please don't give me nightmares lol xxxxxxxxxxxx
I have a friend who was always the smartest kid in the school, absolutely mindblowing intelligence, he is now at Oxford studying Chemistry. He did drugs, he was in with the "wrong crowd", but boy has it made him a great guy who could box this woman into a corner.
You have to admire Katie's professional demeanour, which stands in stark contrast to the screaming witch Sonia
Has she ever thought that some of the parents wouldn't want their child to play with her kids?
The five most clever people in my year are all from council estates.
I'm from a single parent family and we lived on a council estate. I remember making friends with a kid (who was ironically black) while in junior school. That family didn't seem interested in associating with me after my mom picked me up from their house. I really hate this attitude of judging people based on their background. Judge the person as an individual, not for the choices their parents made.
I don't think that Katie goes on this morning to get her point across i think her intention is to just argue with who ever's on there
What they are both saying is right. You SHOULD let your child choose their own friends, but the minute the friend's start disrupting your child's education, then you can tell them not to play with 'Tyrone' .
My Boyfriends very middle class father once dropped us in the town in his car wearing his pjs, slippers and bath robe.
I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing for parents to have issues the kids their children play with, but you just cannot judge them based on their names and their intelligence. I'm sure any other parent would much rather their children were friends with kids that were nice and friendly, rather than children who are brought up to judge others.
when your kid is grown up they will be getting a no contact order on you you sound like a right one.
The fact that Katie Hopkins is given a platform to speak her bigoted, idiotic theories to millions of people, is quite frankly scary.
They are protective of there children but not by there names!
3 Katie's in my school, not a single Tyrone
If you raise your children well enough to know what's right and wrong then you shouldn't have to worry about them being dragged down by "bad" kids. My parents may not like my friends but they wont stop me seeing them. I had a friend who was nice and funny and good to get along with, but she was a rebel. she was on drugs, drinking, wagging school, my parents didn't like her but they knew i wouldn't get dragged down with her. Im still a straight A student and friends still with her.
emotional intelligence YES Sonia!!
So she's basically saying that someone with a 'common' name doesn't dress properly and is unorganised???
Maybe "Tyrone" doesn't have the privilages that some of us have and needs a bit of TLC instead of being rejected.
She's judging children on names they were given before they were born, judge children on their characteristics not class or name
*****
my Auntie's called Margaret and she's not posh and probably not friend material. Have a nice day!
*****
I also happen to know some Kyle's and Leeanne's and they are lovely, hard-working people!
"Most of my type of people would be at work" @ 07.44 Brilliant!
Yes we do. If you saw a chav walking around with his tracksuits pulled half way down, checkered cap, and a smoke in his mouth, you would think ''what a wasteman''. Or if he walked into an interview you would decline straight away.
It gets me so worried to know there are people like her in the world.
Her children go to a top private school, how could they ever meet a Tyrone? In my private school we had strange names like Lion, Moses, Isaac, Beatrice... names that you don't hear everyday.
I feel bad for Katie's kids. They won't have many real friends.
depends on how you gauge 'success'
when you try and make a personal comment but it makes no sense gj
I didn't think the UK was even still divided into "classes", it's ridiculous I wouldn't even know where to place myself.
its called a game boy...
You cant judge someone by there class or background
Imagine being her kid :|
I kind of agree her but she puts her opinions across in such a bad way
Just condemning children with working class parents!
Tyrone is a REALLY common name... I assume that is not the child with the nice house at the end of the road...
She's called Katie.
What about Katie Price? Lets all judge her because she's called Katie!
The 'poem' that he referred to at the end of the program was actually a quote from Romeo and Juliet... feeling quite clever that I picked that up:3
HOLD ON! Katie has her ears pierced...
Katie Hopkins is the golden standard for SNOBS.
My mum takes me to school in her pjs but im never late or dressed unsmartly she is sick doesnt matter what 'class' it doesnt matter
Back then Katie (via media protocol) sounded ridiculous, & a nasty snob of which we all believed. Myself included. Why doesn't GMB bring Katie back to justify and still back up her claims then? Also. Why do GMB ( ITV) not allow comments on TH-cam or any other platform, for that matter? Strange eh?
"my type of people will be at work wont they?" OMG! your type of people lovely are housewives who lunch, and decide to create a social caste system for their own children. disgusting!
She always chooses names associated with ethnic minorities when saying who’s “common”
Judging kids by their names is like judging them from their hair colour. They can’t help their name or hair colour
Oh that's who she is! I couldn't remember at all.
Katie is honest.
I know everyone hates Katie blah blah blah but she does raise a good point, if my son or daughter wants to be friends with the rough/troublesome kids then sure, when its come to breaktime have fun, but inside the classroom they should not be disrupting the learning of other children. I would not allow them into my house nor would I permit them to go to their house either. I don't want bad influences near my children. Obviously breaktime is the exception they can do what they like but being mindful of other children.
She can make a good point, just like anyone - it is how she goes about doing so that is so controversial.
Aeryn Fletcher You sound like a right weak boy Aery. Dyou want to borrow a wet lettuce to give you some strength back there.
I feel sorry for her kids, they are going to grow up just like their mother! Yes I agree that children should look up to other kids doing well but to stop them making their own friends, is ridiculous!!
A childs name...in and of itself, probably tells you more about the parents, than it does the child. Children don't choose their names. I'm not a massive fan of Katie Hopkins, but if a child called 'Tyler' was about to introduce me to his parents...I'd probably have a pre conceived idea on who Tylers parents are going to be.
Won't let her children play with kids named Tyrone that's sooooo racist
Her children wont have any friends. I feel sorry for her poor kids -_-
My son's name is Angus and I choose his name because it's a strong name and he is such a compassionate and empathetic 17 yr old
No, the name katie actually used to be a very upper class and traditional British name
theres a big difference telling your kid not to play with the naughty kids, and telling your kid not to play with the common named ones.
Forget her, man. Grades mean nothing, it's who you are as a person!
i was always late in sixth form, got fed up with my teachers and yet that was because I had insomnia and was not happy in school. yet im now doing architecture at one of the top elite universities in england. you can't judge anyone on what they do, without first knowing why
Another thing... Who the fuck would sleep with that thing...
I agree it does look like she got hit with a shovel..
0:35, she's trying to look innocent and sweet but you can really see the evil, plotting, scheming face
😆😆 LOL. So true
I don't understand why a parent's "impolite" behaviours, such as wearing pyjamas to the shop, or bringing their child late to school, should have any effect on how nice their children are to play with. In fact, I would encourage my children to be the positive influence in their lives, since they may lack one at home. Furthermore, the name thing is ridiculous, as I know plenty of chavvy "Elizabeths" and "Williams", as well as perfectly lovely "Chantelles" and "Tylers".
I get your point, but I think by 'common' she means 'lower class', not in terms of popularity. It's still absolutely ludicrous though!
I think kids should be able to pick their friends and then unless you actually see a noticeable bad change in their behaviour let them be.
I know she would love to pick on me!! My name is Kerry (named after County Kerry... of course) the place where my parents met. I'm was 19 when I fell pregnant, 20 years old when I had my gorgeous baby boy. Little does she know that I was told at 14 that I would NEVER be able to have children! I was absolutely heartbroken, so I put my soul into my career. I run my own business!!! And it's doing alright not amazingly but steady but who cares, I have a little miracle!
I would cherry-pick... But I would cherry-pick based on visible behaviour, not intellect or background or name
Hahaah Katie's comment made me bust out laughing "my type of people would be at work"... she's so wrong it's right
it's so basic mention would be needless every one and their cat knows that quote.
mmmmmm I don't hate her. I feel sorry for her. Maybe she was brought up like this by her parents. Then this whole cycle repeats itself blahblah
LOL I didn't realise she's been on This Morning so many times :') oh god
My parents used to drop me off at school in their pjs and I turned out just fine.
Nope!, he has an opinion. The show is a debate between the hosts and the guests.
Katie's kids are going to grow up to be judgmental people and have no friends, poor kids
Why even give her airtime!?
Well I sort of lost the respect for the presenters the moment they laughed at her first answer.
Holy shit... Sure, I wasn't allowed to play with one kid growing up, but that was because he caused me actual bodily harm! This woman is fucking insane!
I feel for you Poppy, India and Maximilian
Oh god here she goes again! Take away her university degree!!!
Bring your child up properly with manners and morals and they'll be fine, befriend good people regardless of names or backgrounds and that bad choices in life will reflect on them and be their own.
When I hang round with intelligent people I just get more confused on what I know!
It's hilarious in a rather disturbing way.
She's too busy keeping her eye on the £ signs.
Hopkins does have a point that the posh snobby types probably see daytime telly as cheap and nasty therefore they're probably not watching This Morning! Probably the only good point she's ever had.
Its not very common but its quite common, I'm called Katie
How the hell is katie not a common name
India, Poppy and Max are the names of her children . How common are those names?
