Karen Brady is outspoken at the best of times, and her fans at both West Ham and via the Apprentice TV show admire her candid approach to any given situation. Others are less enamoured by her no nonsense and sometimes abrasive persona.
But her latest comments about Tottenham Hotspur and England forward Harry Kane have attracted wide-scale criticism for being needlessly mean-spirited about the 23-year-old becoming a father for the first time.
Kane and his partner Katie Goodland announced the birth of their baby, Ivy Jane Kane, on January 8. Seeing as the Spurs man is one of the most inoffensive footballers in the land, most decent people were either pleased for the couple, or indifferent.
But Brady decided to criticise Kane for his announcement of the birth, with a very barbed and critical 'congratulations' message in the Sun newspaper. She wrote:
'Congratulations to Harry Kane for his 'assist' in the birth of daughter Ivy Jane...but that's all it was. All the heavy work was done by your girlfriend, Harry - although you might not think so from his tweet that opens "Me and @KateGoodlandx had our beautiful baby girl..." The lad wins no points from me for strangling the English language - or for good manners."

Not only are Brady's words needless and nasty, but her criticism of Kane's English is somewhat ironic.
'All the heavy work was done by your girlfriend, Harry - although you might not think so from his tweet...' - who are you addressing Karen? Kane or the readers? Perhaps come back once you can construct a coherent sentence - and have learnt some 'good manners' of your own.
