To be honest this woman speaks what the majority of us think. What's wrong with that? I find it insulting to be asked for money inside a wedding invite... how rude. So i completely agree with Katie here. Whether you like Katie or not she's speaking some sense here :)
Very rarely do I agree with Katie but I agree with her 100% on this one! Brides/grooms should be grateful for whatever presents they receive, not make demands on those attending the wedding. If I was invited and the card said 'bring cash' or 'bring luxury goods' then I'd refuse to attend. If they asked me to make a donation to an animal charity then I would happily do so.
When my wife and I married 40 years ago (or thereabouts) we organised the reception in the three days before our registry office wedding. The total cost was just over £300 even with about 50 guests. We even had a live band. Although the band was crap. But the food was OK. The reception was cut short because the room had to be turned back into a church for the Sunday service the next day. We took our two kids on honeymoon with us. After the reception we went home and decided where to go on honeymoon. We decided to go to Wales and set off the next day by car and found a motel along the way. The kids occupied the next room. I had to be back at work so it was a short honeymoon. About three days I think. I liked your attitude to weddings. I don't often agree with you but this time I do. I won't be inviting you to my next wedding because there won't be one. I would marry you but I'm 81 anyway and distinctly lacking in the wedding tackle department and we would probably be forever disagreeing. My little ones (kids, that is) are now grown up as are most of the grand kids but I wouldn't have attended an adults only wedding when they were still young. Socially speaking, with me you take the whole package or nowt at all. I love kids, especially when they're let off the leash. They are a joy. I can't get my head round people who dislike them. It ain't natural. As you see above, we had a cheap wedding but none the less an enjoyable one. Why spend tens of thousands on it? That could go towards a deposit on a home.
I'm all for fun wedding ideas, but expecting your guests or wedding party to shell out a fortune for a destination wedding or "cash-only" gifts is just disrespectful and...let's be honest...kinda tacky.
We were at a wedding recently and a child was acting up so much, that instead of listening to the couple taking their vows, people were distracted watching this child misbehave. Parents thought it was funny. So I agree with the 'no children at a wedding.' part. No-one wants their wedding video interrupted with crying children.
Helen25243 I fully agree with you! Hubby and I don't like kids, don't want them and won't have them, when we married we refused to have anyone younger than fifteen at our wedding. Anyone who disagreed with our decision regarding our wedding that we'd paid for simply weren't invited! Its one of the reason's hubby's dad can't stand either of us because we refuse to breed!
Surely, it depends on the type of wedding and whether it is appropriate for a child to be there. For instance, it is not appropriate to take a 7 year old to a night club, so a night club type of wedding would be inappropriate. The worst is taking young babies in prams that cry etc. On another point: I can't stand open bars but at the same time accept that guests can take advantage ordering expensive drinks and often there are almost full wine bottles that had been open. The way I dealt with this at my daughter's recent 21st was to (a) To serve orange juice and bubby and iced tea before the sit down meal, (b) at meal have 1 type of red and white wine available, with guests free to order cold drinks and local beers and (c) Guests could order other drinks for their own account.
I’m not against kids at weddings per-say, I had some at mine, I think it’s the supervision that’s important. I have 3 and if 1 was misbehaving or being noisy I would take them outside as unobtrusively as possible as would most, but at my wedding, the best-man’s toddler ran up and down the aisle throughout the ceremony and no one did anything (despite both parents and 2 grandparents being there), the wedding vid was ruined as we couldn’t hear the vows . Also, I would have expected Katie and the other lady to be on opposite sides of this argument
Kids make noise. Enjoy it. Relish in it. Encourage it. The kids at my wedding reception ran riot. It was a joy to behold. Wedding video. I videoed my son's wedding ceremony then handed the camera to the kids attending. My bit was terminally boring. The kids' bit was the best. No preconceptions on how to compose anything. Just use it and hand it to another kid to try. Great to watch them and to watch the result later.
When my dads friend got married they told everyone no children which I think is fair, however my brother at the time was I think only six weeks old, it was the first time my parents left him alone (I wasn’t born at the time) and then the brides sister (ironically now after my parents are divorced the brides sister is my step mum) had a about three week old baby and was allowed to bring it. I understand it was younger but my brother was still extremely young and it was the first time they had to leave him alone, whilst the brides sister got to bring a baby anyway
Asking for any kind of gift (monetary or otherwise) is rude. You don't have a wedding to get stuff. If I want to bring you a gift, I will do so because I want to, not because you told me I have to. Week day weddings aren't a big deal to me - but then, I'm only having 8 guests to a Monday wedding so I would say that.
I found that very offensive about the destination weddings. I understand it isn't easy to go to destination weddings, but if the bride and groom want to get married somewhere that is special to them, then people have to accept that, if they can't afford to go fair enough, but I think it is down to the bride and groom not the guests. Also Katie, DO NOT pass comments on other people's wedding, just because you didn't like it, doesn't mean the bride and groom didn't have a special day!!! DO NOT PASS JUDGEMENT!!!!
I love these Aussie interviews with Katie - she is far less"hard ball" than when she's on the UK ones. But she is great entertainment value regardless.
Yes...and when they were born because materity leave is for weak women. She thinks going back to work two days after giving birth should be the norm....BTW week day weddings are often low key, quiet weddings and because Saturdays are already booked up for two years at the church you want.
Who would want Katie at a wedding? She has wreaked marriages and she will most likely call the bride fat, even if she is size ten....Off peak weddings are often cheaper and at some churches in the summer, on a Saturday have three weddings every week. An Off peak wedding is good if you want a quiet wedding too...If I was Katie's daughter, I would have a wedding in Fiji of that meant Katie wouldn't be there.....And what about teaching the children manners, going to a wedding then being rude about it at the wedding....And why is a Honeymoon a bad thing....contributing to a Honeymoon is a great idea, especially if the couple already live together....
Yeh, so what? You dont have to have a birthday on the actual birth day itself. What if you need to work ? Mum and Dad need to go to work and earn money, you cant just always guarantee a day off.
I don't know how I feel... I agree with Katie on most of this. I have mixed feelings on kids at wedding thing. Your own family are different, if you're inviting your friend and partner and they have 4 kids that really puts the price up! I think until 10 is acceptable; crying tired toddlers and drunk parents at midnight are never fun.
She's right there even though she's got some vile views on society and the vulnerable. I wouldn't pay to attend a wedding as it's expensive enough to buy an outfit to wear and travel to the wedding. I'd rather dine in a fancy restaurant for the same money. When it comes to gifts though only get what's on the list which gets circulated.
I agree with all 3 points. But if they want to ask for cash, up to the guest whether to oblige. I have been to weddings where children don't shut up at important moments and at the reception all they do is run around screaming, throwing things around and getting in the way! I couldn't attend a Friday wedding because i couldn't get that day off work. As for the destination thing, my brother got married in Vegas. I didn't go because I couldn't afford it. End of. Not doing very well, am I? lol!
In Hungary guests give the couple some money in an envelope usually during an event called "bride dance". Everyone gets to take the bride or the couple for a few seconds and dance together, then leave the money in a basket. The whole thing is about traditions. Normally there is a huge wedding reception after the ceremony, with plenty of food, dance, wine and other spirits and a 3 course meal. There is an additional meal after midnight. This is all paid by the couple or the couple's parents. Unlimited drinks and food through the night until about 5-6 in the morning. It's considered rude in Hungary not to bring money as a gift to a wedding occasion with a reception. I've been to an English wedding where the couple couldn't afford the wedding reception but had one anyway. They made the guest paying for their drinks and they had trays of canapés from Iceland... 🤨 So in that sense she is right but if you are given a meal and unlimited drink on a wedding reception I don't think it's rude of the couple to ask for some money instead of getting a third toaster or microwave.
Katie hopefully you get to read this.. oh please upload the sky interview to you're channel about that woman freezing her eggs 😂 .. it's not only hysterical you are bang on the money ! 😂😂👏
Katie I live in the USA and I love how strong you are you are the proper example of a strong woman. If all men in the USA had a wife like you the USA would truly be the greatest land in the world please keep speaking your mind 👍
In Israel you must bring cash to weddings. It's become a huge crazy industry with people running the most extravagant events and the closer you are to the couple the more money you're supposed to give them. Giving less than a 100 dollars is considered unacceptable and cheap... That's why I hate weddings and try to avoid them as much as I can
I think its ok if you say you dont want gifts but there will be a wishing well for money towards x or y but we do not expect money we just want you to enjoy the day with us
As much as I think it is crass to ask for money, if you love your friends, and they contrive some sort of registry to make it less blatant--I'm fine with that. s long as they don't attempt to dictate amounts. And if any of these things kept Katie away they're a blessing.
I agree with Katie its rude to ask for cash or something specific as a girft is a gift 🎁 its a surprise x and if you can't go on holiday with your family why should you pay for someone else to go on holiday just because they asked you to their wedding x
In Arabic weddings everyone brings money. I think it's way more useful, instead of spending the money on gifts, give that money to the couple and they can buy the items themselves. Also we usually have huge weddings, so if everyone bought in a boxed present it would be a nightmare!
I do not like young children at weddings because if they are fussy, one or both parents leave. Also the people who you really want there to celebrate your day, have to leave really early to get the kids home. Get a sitter and have a fun time out!
I hate you Anglos for even thinking of this no children policy. Kids do not spoil anything, why not no ugly people, no loud people, etc etc I LIKE seeing children play as do normal people.
So is Katie Hopkins popular in Australia? In this programme they seemed to treat her as a bit of a joke. In Britain they make the mistake of taking what she says seriously and then complaining about how awful and outrageous she is.
I like Katie but this is ridiculous. First, if the couple is young and starting their life, they need everything. Because of that in my town young couples make lists of things you can buy / on line / and you can choose from the cheap ones (like toaster) to the "expensive" ones (washing machine, refrigerator etc...) or you can give money. I really do not understand what is so wrong with bringing money? People like Katie who had previous marriages and are not just starting their lives should have more understanding for this. Why would anyone buy her a toaster or three|? Take an envelope, put 20 pounds in it (if you do not have any money) and go to the wedding. Buying tickets for the wedding would be asking (in an invitation) for 500 pounds as a minimum.
Weddings are to celebrate a union. When people start dictating terms of attendance ie. Cash only... other countries... blah blah blah... then they cant complain when people decline their invitation. They know most people will not want to travel to ...mmm China was the last invitation my son had. That's actually a way of keeping the wedding cheap (numbers) whilst still getting a gift. Keep it real people. ^j^
she champions volatile old fashionded brithish values, in england the majority of the public can see her true colours as bigot that thrives on causing conflict. Who cares about what she has to say? she is used by the media to reflect a view of a very small minority of conservative extremists. Give the platform to speakers who have constructive things to say not people like her who say what they can to cause social conflict and separation of cultures and people.
asking for cash is crude. But let's be real all those gifts that you are giving them is going to be return for cash. Let's be honest here either they are getting money from benefiting from the gifts and not using their wallets or return. Either way yes you are helping them on a trip
I would love to have everyone give me and my wife loads of money for no important reason so we can have a two week (special memories) holiday in the Caribbean. Not going to happen because I'm not a selfish Git.
Katie is taking on less polarising arguments like this to become more accessible to the public she does and always has based her opinions on the react it will create, and none of this is rocket science, people! It's like Donald Trump UK edition, at least we're not thinking about electing her as prime minister.. For now!
I agree with the no children rule. We were at a wedding where two children were so badly behaved they caused a distraction, so instead of the guests watching the bride and groom say their vows, they were watching these unruly children. Then there were the speeches being videoed. The children were running around wild squealing and shouting. The result being the speeches couldn’t be heard. So for me, no children under 10 years old.
An English friend sent me this, I hadn't heard of Katie Hopkins before. But she reminds me an awful lot like Ann Coulter... an equally polarizing public figure who goes spouting racist opinions about immigrants, other religions (example: Muslims need to be converted the way they did during the Crusades), all kinds of vitriol and other hate filled speech. She has a fairly regular post on Fox News if that tells you anything. She's widely hated but still sells books. I was surprised that references to being posh were made about Katie, perhaps I can't appreciate certain accents as "posh" - because she sounds crass and low class to me, that's what we consider people who "speak their mind no matter what" are here, as there are no shortage of those who think their opinion matters more than others. You're more likely to get respect if you can voice your opinion with discretion and without insulting everyone else, braying loudly to get attention. I guess I mean to say, here we have a right friendly bunch of people, but also I must admit, we have all kinds, which, thankfully include plenty of lovely, well manner people in the U.S., - we also have our share of Katie Hopkins types and here, they are just too common.
Cordelia Enid H If you mean that there aren't "common folk" everywhere who loudly bray their opinion with disrespect toward others, Katie Hopkins proves otherwise. Also, just on the face of it, your opinion just doesn't sound believable. It's like Iran leadership saying there are no gay people.
Oh, I see now what direction you are going now. Well, Katie went to Sandhurst, a military school, not one i would necessarily kind of relate with being highly intellectual, but it does sort of play into her very straight-laced way of thinking and attempts to put everyone in a box and strict thinking about how everyone should be in the "World According to Katie" While I find Ann Coulter's world-view no less reprehensible, she went to Cornell University an excellent school, an Ivy League, so no matter how repugnant her thinking, she does possess a far greater intellect than Katie, while Katie talks about kids named Tyler, Ann is concerned with world affairs and politics. But they are both skinny with blond hair, childless, husbandless (as far as i know) with nasty opinions, which is where i made the association. Katie knows she's a troll. In fact, it's so deliberate because It's how she makes her money, and she's very good at it. If you ever watched her "soak it up smiling" while an audience reviles her is all the proof one needs. I suppose i am being terribly foolish even talking about her at all, because that's what trolls do. None of this could make money for her, if we didn't permit it. So I blame myself for letting her annoy me. She's not worth it. Finally -- we have plenty of extremely intelligent people in America. It's just the UK - i have many friends and family there, so i would never make silly presumptions about the intellect level there just because there are a bunch of silly chavs there. Every country has a lower class of undereducated, underclass that don't represent the best of their country. But those are social ills, I love Europe but it is certainly becoming further rife with these immigration problems as civil wars in surrounding countries lead to throngs of refugees swarming into Europe for their lives. America, not so much, we have an exploited illegitimate working class from Mexico, but no, Europe and the UK have these social ills too. And if we care about humanity, it's a sorry reason to play any kind of one-upsmanship over. Overall, even when you balance all of its ills, America is a wonderful country. And it would just be snide to infer anything of the contrary. Nothing wrong with loving both continents. *)
Cordelia Enid H We're circling around, but it seems like hopefully we've reached some clarity perhaps. The video is of Katie Hopkins, which is why I spoke of her originally, I am sorry I missed that you were alluding to "old money" types - but even Europeans in general are not, in I would imagine most estimations, largely old money idiosyncratic types who speak their own mind. But again, this is about Katie Hopkins, and this video, and, to me, nothing about her says old money - for one, they don't tend to be publicity seeking, and her wikipedia entry doesn't show anything at all about money, old or nouveau riche. I don't know anyone with "old money" - except the grandson of German baron - I knew his mother also, a baroness... like many in England they are land "rich" and have a title going way back, but - well it's a peculiar discernment, there have few peers, there really isn't other people with peerages to hangout with. Of pbs programs that I've seen some are of fascinating people with their heritage (parodied on the show "Almost Royal") but I'm sure it's not common for most to agree to be appearing in a Downton Abbey special at the actual Highclere Castle with Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, along with 4 or 5 others with manor houses. I can see some eccentricity, like "Almost Royal" that parodies it, but none of them act like the common troll like Hopkins does. And I admit, I may be swayed by how "hayseed" the name "Hopkins" sounds. There's a Hopkinsville, Kentucky a small farming town, and with Katie and her brash, common behavior, she easily reminds me as if she comes from some sort of hick town like this, ill-bred, ill-educated, ill-mannered and the like. These people are poor. I don't see them or her in particular as a queen of hearts "off with their heads" - just, uh, the troll reference. Anyway, admittedly I hadn't lept to the point you were making, and I do wish I understood you more quickly, to spare both of us any further confusion, as interesting as this has been. It's just that Katie Hopkins does not personify culture or money or any of those things that predicate the point of your recent comment, and I appreciate the clarification, as i just didn't make that connection. I hope that isn't part of making the point of finding Americans guileless ... as one of my European friends who like it here once said to me, if you want to know where the worst pizza in the world is, it's in America. If you want to know where the best is, it's here too. His point is well taken. It has everything here. An encapsulation of everywhere, to criticize it is to criticize the world. We're not anymore guileless as anywhere else, we have just as many sophisticated people as anywhere else. Perhaps many more. Universities are not merely a conduit for the smart, but I made a point of mentioning Ivy League, where standards are much, much higher. And yes, you have to be pretty damn smart to get into an Ivy League university. Which is why I guess I am so bewildered as to why someone as intelligent as Ann Coulter has so many effed-up beliefs. But I can at least acknowledge that, even if the rest of her defies common logic. As for Katie Hopkins, if you are a fan of hers, then nothing I say about her will make any difference, when you like someone they are always defensible. Other than that, I can agree with you, yes, some "old money" people can speak their minds without concern for others. I see no correlation with Katie, but if you are a fan of hers, no doubt nothing i have to say will matter, if that's the real issue. Either way i guess - or i hope - i finally understood the point you were making... about the old money thing.
I have yet to hear anything from Katie with which I disagree still less that is offensive, the truth can never be offensive. We were married on a Thursday - so what?
Anybody binge watching Katie's videos?
Me 🙋
Me! :) A part from her elitist pov I think she's great.
Hi I'm Kentucky. Yes 😍
Hi I'm Kentucky. Hands up. Guilty m'lud.
Hi I'm Kentucky. I don’t why. It’s compulsive. I’m black she’s against me but I find her fascinating, even agreeing with some of the stuff she says. 👻
I agree with Katie. Asking for cash is crude. I simply wouldn't go.
"If you can't afford a wedding, don't have one." Somebody talked some sense.
To be honest this woman speaks what the majority of us think. What's wrong with that? I find it insulting to be asked for money inside a wedding invite... how rude. So i completely agree with Katie here. Whether you like Katie or not she's speaking some sense here :)
It's the *WAY* she says it. A right turn-off.
Never thought Id see the day. For the first time ever I agree with Katie Hopkins.

As you see above, we had a cheap wedding but none the less an enjoyable one. Why spend tens of thousands on it? That could go towards a deposit on a home.
That's a joke. I would never ask someone for money to attend my wedding.
I´m a swedish guy and I love Katie and her thoughts about what happens around her ... She´s great
This is the only time I've ever agreed with Katie Hopkins...something is incredibly wrong here.
Your perception of reality is expanding! Go where it takes you.
This is the only time I agree with Katy Hopkins. Tickets to a Wedding?
Love our Katie, hysterical! And spot on too 😂😂😂
i love katie
+FreneticKey why
She a bully.
talkisreallycheap yeah. Katie hopkins fan right there. Get lost
Me too x its lovely to hear the truth from someone for once x
Again, I totally agree with Katie Hopkins
If someone asked me for cash to attend their wedding I would say no thank you, bloody cheek. She's right xx
Wow Katie Hopkins of 2013 is Mother Theresa compared to 2017 Katie Hopkins!
I have no problem agreeing with Katie, i do like listening to her and majority of times i do believe she has a strong valid point
Absolutely LOVE this woman! Shes hilarious, outspoken and correct mostly.
I'm all for fun wedding ideas, but expecting your guests or wedding party to shell out a fortune for a destination wedding or "cash-only" gifts is just disrespectful and...let's be honest...kinda tacky.
Love katie's facial expressions

@@withramya Well teach your kids to shut up her wedding
I'm.with Katie on this one.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
When my dads friend got married they told everyone no children which I think is fair, however my brother at the time was I think only six weeks old, it was the first time my parents left him alone (I wasn’t born at the time) and then the brides sister (ironically now after my parents are divorced the brides sister is my step mum) had a about three week old baby and was allowed to bring it. I understand it was younger but my brother was still extremely young and it was the first time they had to leave him alone, whilst the brides sister got to bring a baby anyway
I hate myself that I agree with Hopkins this time
Asking for any kind of gift (monetary or otherwise) is rude. You don't have a wedding to get stuff. If I want to bring you a gift, I will do so because I want to, not because you told me I have to. Week day weddings aren't a big deal to me - but then, I'm only having 8 guests to a Monday wedding so I would say that.
Oh god we are getting stupider. I agree with Katie Hopkins. More and more...
Kate Hopkins speaks the truth
She may piss people off but she says things that many people don't have the guts to say
I hope Katie adds more videos to this channel.
How can one not love Katie
I always cry at weddings. Another poor guy losing his freedom.
There is no freedom without civilization, and there is no civilization without marriage.

Can't believe I'm saying this but... I actually agree with Katie for first time ever
For once, I agree with Katie Hopkins.
Doesn't Katie "bin her kids" on their birthdays?
Yes...and when they were born because materity leave is for weak women. She thinks going back to work two days after giving birth should be the norm....BTW week day weddings are often low key, quiet weddings and because Saturdays are already booked up for two years at the church you want.
I'm unsure whether that was in support or against my original comment?
she dsnt give them birthdays every year because "there will always be another" yet they HAVE to be invited to the weddings she goes to... hum......
Who would want Katie at a wedding?

Yeh, so what? You dont have to have a birthday on the actual birth day itself. What if you need to work ? Mum and Dad need to go to work and earn money, you cant just always guarantee a day off.
What about donating to a house renovation fund?
I don't know how I feel...
I agree with Katie on most of this. I have mixed feelings on kids at wedding thing. Your own family are different, if you're inviting your friend and partner and they have 4 kids that really puts the price up! I think until 10 is acceptable; crying tired toddlers and drunk parents at midnight are never fun.
I'm agreeing with katie on this. She can be a ruthless cow at times but she actually has a point a lot of the time. She just says it how it is.

Her daughter is autistic, I believe.

I couldn't attend a Friday wedding because i couldn't get that day off work. As for the destination thing, my brother got married in Vegas. I didn't go because I couldn't afford it. End of.
Not doing very well, am I? lol!
If I want to get you a toaster - even though you have two already - I'm gonna get you a toaster 🍞
HAHAAA I LOVE THAT
In Hungary guests give the couple some money in an envelope usually during an event called "bride dance". Everyone gets to take the bride or the couple for a few seconds and dance together, then leave the money in a basket. The whole thing is about traditions. Normally there is a huge wedding reception after the ceremony, with plenty of food, dance, wine and other spirits and a 3 course meal. There is an additional meal after midnight. This is all paid by the couple or the couple's parents. Unlimited drinks and food through the night until about 5-6 in the morning. It's considered rude in Hungary not to bring money as a gift to a wedding occasion with a reception.
I've been to an English wedding where the couple couldn't afford the wedding reception but had one anyway. They made the guest paying for their drinks and they had trays of canapés from Iceland... 🤨 So in that sense she is right but if you are given a meal and unlimited drink on a wedding reception I don't think it's rude of the couple to ask for some money instead of getting a third toaster or microwave.
Katie is my role model by far
I hope to God she never goes to a Turkish wedding. The guests actually pin bank notes to the couples' clothes.
Katie Hopkins PLEASE MOVE TO AMERICA !!!!!! WE ADORE YOU...…...
Katie is fantastic she says it how the british people are thinking it she would make a great LEADER
Angela saying that weddings are about love not family is such a telling comment on the degenerative culture we are living in.
In northeast USA, we give cold hard cash as wedding gifts.
Katie hopefully you get to read this.. oh please upload the sky interview to you're channel about that woman freezing her eggs 😂 .. it's not only hysterical you are bang on the money ! 😂😂👏
Katie I live in the USA and I love how strong you are you are the proper example of a strong woman. If all men in the USA had a wife like you the USA would truly be the greatest land in the world please keep speaking your mind 👍
In Israel you must bring cash to weddings. It's become a huge crazy industry with people running the most extravagant events and the closer you are to the couple the more money you're supposed to give them. Giving less than a 100 dollars is considered unacceptable and cheap... That's why I hate weddings and try to avoid them as much as I can
Lommy what do u expect in a country full of jews :D:D:D:D:D:D:D lolololololol
+Lommy the classic 'jew breast stroke' gimme gimme your money
She doesn't like parting with money......I only have one question?
1:12 takes me out 😂😂
I think its ok if you say you dont want gifts but there will be a wishing well for money towards x or y but we do not expect money we just want you to enjoy the day with us
As much as I think it is crass to ask for money, if you love your friends, and they contrive some sort of registry to make it less blatant--I'm fine with that. s long as they don't attempt to dictate amounts.
And if any of these things kept Katie away they're a blessing.
I did that, but that's because me and my husband were moving to Europe from Canada
Katie. You would think you were better than me. But I don’t care. You’d still get it. Xxx
I agree with Katie its rude to ask for cash or something specific as a girft is a gift 🎁 its a surprise x and if you can't go on holiday with your family why should you pay for someone else to go on holiday just because they asked you to their wedding x
In Arabic weddings everyone brings money. I think it's way more useful, instead of spending the money on gifts, give that money to the couple and they can buy the items themselves. Also we usually have huge weddings, so if everyone bought in a boxed present it would be a nightmare!
In Asian weddings too. Basically, 3/4 of the world does it. And The whole family better shows up, kids and grandparents.
i think thats super lovely. so much more meaningful than blenders or sugar bowls
Ah the good old days .. when the focus of Katie's attention was wedding etiquette
What!!! A wedding it is about family !
I do not like young children at weddings because if they are fussy, one or both parents leave. Also the people who you really want there to celebrate your day, have to leave really early to get the kids home. Get a sitter and have a fun time out!
I agree. I wouldn’t dream of telling people to bring me cash for my wedding Jesus 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Oh Katie!!!! It's a wedding invitation, not an invite.
I hate you Anglos for even thinking of this no children policy.
Kids do not spoil anything, why not no ugly people, no loud people, etc etc
I LIKE seeing children play as do normal people.
you'd have to be a sado-masochist to even just think about asking Hopkins out for a drink
It's understood not to bring kids to weddings in the northeast USA
Imagine waking up next to her, maybe i could handle it
. No I will leave it to Brian poor chap.
How cynical. An opportunity to publicly declare your love and commitment to another.
So is Katie Hopkins popular in Australia? In this programme they seemed to treat her as a bit of a joke. In Britain they make the mistake of taking what she says seriously and then complaining about how awful and outrageous she is.
I think she misunderstands the whole "cash" thing.What it GENERALLY means is dont go thru great lengths to think of one,I'll do the hard work for you.
SHES SO FUNNY
She's fucking hilarious.
I don't completely agree with the things said in this video...but i think its sort of rude to ask for cash to a wedding.
În romania you only gift cash. I find it wrong. But here it's a tradition
She wasn't utterly obnoxious when she was only talking about weddings
I am going to bring you a toaster !
I like Katie but this is ridiculous. First, if the couple is young and starting their life, they need everything. Because of that in my town young couples make lists of things you can buy / on line / and you can choose from the cheap ones (like toaster) to the "expensive" ones (washing machine, refrigerator etc...) or you can give money. I really do not understand what is so wrong with bringing money? People like Katie who had previous marriages and are not just starting their lives should have more understanding for this. Why would anyone buy her a toaster or three|? Take an envelope, put 20 pounds in it (if you do not have any money) and go to the wedding. Buying tickets for the wedding would be asking (in an invitation) for 500 pounds as a minimum.
Thats tacky asking for
Money KH is right
Weddings are to celebrate a union. When people start dictating terms of attendance ie. Cash only... other countries... blah blah blah... then they cant complain when people decline their invitation. They know most people will not want to travel to ...mmm China was the last invitation my son had. That's actually a way of keeping the wedding cheap (numbers) whilst still getting a gift. Keep it real people. ^j^
she champions volatile old fashionded brithish values, in england the majority of the public can see her true colours as bigot that thrives on causing conflict. Who cares about what she has to say? she is used by the media to reflect a view of a very small minority of conservative extremists. Give the platform to speakers who have constructive things to say not people like her who say what they can to cause social conflict and separation of cultures and people.
asking for cash is crude. But let's be real all those gifts that you are giving them is going to be return for cash. Let's be honest here either they are getting money from benefiting from the gifts and not using their wallets or return. Either way yes you are helping them on a trip
I don’t think we should give cash end of day.
It's an invitation not an invite!!
ClaireEg1 What’s the difference
Cat Lady they mean the same thing but invitation is the more 'correct' version when inviting someone to a formal event.
I never want to go to weddings. If you are going to charge a fee it will be just another reason not to go. I hold fast to my cash.
I would love to have everyone give me and my wife loads of money for no important reason so we can have a two week (special memories) holiday in the Caribbean. Not going to happen because I'm not a selfish Git.
Katie is taking on less polarising arguments like this to become more accessible to the public she does and always has based her opinions on the react it will create, and none of this is rocket science, people! It's like Donald Trump UK edition, at least we're not thinking about electing her as prime minister.. For now!
I agree with the no children rule. We were at a wedding where two children were so badly behaved they caused a distraction, so instead of the guests watching the bride and groom say their vows, they were watching these unruly children. Then there were the speeches being videoed. The children were running around wild squealing and shouting. The result being the speeches couldn’t be heard. So for me, no children under 10 years old.
This is funny light hearted
Arrrggghhhh! It is an invitation not an invite. You invite someone by giving them an invitation.
kate hopkin has nice accent.
1 toaster=£80, 14= £1120 not bad
does she really have a husband and where is he who cud put up with that
Katie said a 'squaking' child shouldn't go to the olympics with their parents but they can go to a wedding? I like Katie but that's hypocritical
Katie Hopkins should be more on TV. I can't accept that that insulting, idiot Jimmy Carr is more famous.
Why is Katie getting any exposure she is abusive and has a witch heart.
how would this person know how to be a mother she may have given birth but that is where it ends
"it's a celebration of love, not of family" - really? _really_??? you are all wrong.
An English friend sent me this, I hadn't heard of Katie Hopkins before. But she reminds me an awful lot like Ann Coulter... an equally polarizing public figure who goes spouting racist opinions about immigrants, other religions (example: Muslims need to be converted the way they did during the Crusades), all kinds of vitriol and other hate filled speech. She has a fairly regular post on Fox News if that tells you anything. She's widely hated but still sells books. I was surprised that references to being posh were made about Katie, perhaps I can't appreciate certain accents as "posh" - because she sounds crass and low class to me, that's what we consider people who "speak their mind no matter what" are here, as there are no shortage of those who think their opinion matters more than others. You're more likely to get respect if you can voice your opinion with discretion and without insulting everyone else, braying loudly to get attention. I guess I mean to say, here we have a right friendly bunch of people, but also I must admit, we have all kinds, which, thankfully include plenty of lovely, well manner people in the U.S., - we also have our share of Katie Hopkins types and here, they are just too common.
Cordelia Enid H If you mean that there aren't "common folk" everywhere who loudly bray their opinion with disrespect toward others, Katie Hopkins proves otherwise. Also, just on the face of it, your opinion just doesn't sound believable. It's like Iran leadership saying there are no gay people.
Oh, I see now what direction you are going now. Well, Katie went to Sandhurst, a military school, not one i would necessarily kind of relate with being highly intellectual, but it does sort of play into her very straight-laced way of thinking and attempts to put everyone in a box and strict thinking about how everyone should be in the "World According to Katie"
While I find Ann Coulter's world-view no less reprehensible, she went to Cornell University an excellent school, an Ivy League, so no matter how repugnant her thinking, she does possess a far greater intellect than Katie, while Katie talks about kids named Tyler, Ann is concerned with world affairs and politics. But they are both skinny with blond hair, childless, husbandless (as far as i know) with nasty opinions, which is where i made the association.
Katie knows she's a troll. In fact, it's so deliberate because It's how she makes her money, and she's very good at it. If you ever watched her "soak it up smiling" while an audience reviles her is all the proof one needs. I suppose i am being terribly foolish even talking about her at all, because that's what trolls do. None of this could make money for her, if we didn't permit it. So I blame myself for letting her annoy me. She's not worth it.
Finally -- we have plenty of extremely intelligent people in America. It's just the UK - i have many friends and family there, so i would never make silly presumptions about the intellect level there just because there are a bunch of silly chavs there. Every country has a lower class of undereducated, underclass that don't represent the best of their country. But those are social ills, I love Europe but it is certainly becoming further rife with these immigration problems as civil wars in surrounding countries lead to throngs of refugees swarming into Europe for their lives. America, not so much, we have an exploited illegitimate working class from Mexico, but no, Europe and the UK have these social ills too. And if we care about humanity, it's a sorry reason to play any kind of one-upsmanship over. Overall, even when you balance all of its ills, America is a wonderful country. And it would just be snide to infer anything of the contrary. Nothing wrong with loving both continents. *)
Cordelia Enid H We're circling around, but it seems like hopefully we've reached some clarity perhaps. The video is of Katie Hopkins, which is why I spoke of her originally, I am sorry I missed that you were alluding to "old money" types - but even Europeans in general are not, in I would imagine most estimations, largely old money idiosyncratic types who speak their own mind. But again, this is about Katie Hopkins, and this video, and, to me, nothing about her says old money - for one, they don't tend to be publicity seeking, and her wikipedia entry doesn't show anything at all about money, old or nouveau riche. I don't know anyone with "old money" - except the grandson of German baron - I knew his mother also, a baroness... like many in England they are land "rich" and have a title going way back, but - well it's a peculiar discernment, there have few peers, there really isn't other people with peerages to hangout with. Of pbs programs that I've seen some are of fascinating people with their heritage (parodied on the show "Almost Royal") but I'm sure it's not common for most to agree to be appearing in a Downton Abbey special at the actual Highclere Castle with Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, along with 4 or 5 others with manor houses. I can see some eccentricity, like "Almost Royal" that parodies it, but none of them act like the common troll like Hopkins does. And I admit, I may be swayed by how "hayseed" the name "Hopkins" sounds. There's a Hopkinsville, Kentucky a small farming town, and with Katie and her brash, common behavior, she easily reminds me as if she comes from some sort of hick town like this, ill-bred, ill-educated, ill-mannered and the like. These people are poor. I don't see them or her in particular as a queen of hearts "off with their heads" - just, uh, the troll reference.
Anyway, admittedly I hadn't lept to the point you were making, and I do wish I understood you more quickly, to spare both of us any further confusion, as interesting as this has been. It's just that Katie Hopkins does not personify culture or money or any of those things that predicate the point of your recent comment, and I appreciate the clarification, as i just didn't make that connection. I hope that isn't part of making the point of finding Americans guileless ... as one of my European friends who like it here once said to me, if you want to know where the worst pizza in the world is, it's in America. If you want to know where the best is, it's here too. His point is well taken. It has everything here. An encapsulation of everywhere, to criticize it is to criticize the world. We're not anymore guileless as anywhere else, we have just as many sophisticated people as anywhere else. Perhaps many more. Universities are not merely a conduit for the smart, but I made a point of mentioning Ivy League, where standards are much, much higher. And yes, you have to be pretty damn smart to get into an Ivy League university. Which is why I guess I am so bewildered as to why someone as intelligent as Ann Coulter has so many effed-up beliefs. But I can at least acknowledge that, even if the rest of her defies common logic. As for Katie Hopkins, if you are a fan of hers, then nothing I say about her will make any difference, when you like someone they are always defensible. Other than that, I can agree with you, yes, some "old money" people can speak their minds without concern for others. I see no correlation with Katie, but if you are a fan of hers, no doubt nothing i have to say will matter, if that's the real issue. Either way i guess - or i hope - i finally understood the point you were making... about the old money thing.
I have yet to hear anything from Katie with which I disagree still less that is offensive, the truth can never be offensive. We were married on a Thursday - so what?
