Katie Hopkins Attacked For Migrants Column After Drowned Syrian Toddler Washes Ashore

First topic message reminder :

vehemently anti-migrant column penned by Sun columnist Katie Hopkins, which saw her invite the media to show her “bodies floating in water”, has resurfaced amid heartbreaking images of a drowned Syrian toddler washed up on a Turkish beach. On Wednesday three-year-old Aylan Kurdi was found face-down on a beach in Turkey, after the vessels carrying him, his family and 19 other refugees sank as they attempted to reach the Greek island of Kos. Images of Aylan’s tiny lifeless body being gently carried from the shore have shocked the world – and brought back to mind Hopkins’ comments, in a piece entitled: ‘Rescue boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants’.

The mother-of-three likened those fleeing war torn nations – like Aylan and his family who left their hometown of Kobane after it was besieged by Islamic State militants – to “cockroaches” and called for them to be turned away with force.
“No, I don’t care. Show me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in the water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad.

Katie Hopkins's column in The Sun

“I still don’t care.”
The column which dates back to April has put Hopkins in the firing line on social media once again.

In August it emerged Hopkins had been questioned by police over allegations of incitement of racial hatred – believed to be in connection with the column. A petition calling for Hopkins to be sacked from the newspaper reached more than 300,000 signatures and even the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights added his voice to the protests. Jordanian Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said the reality television star had used language in her column similar to that used by newspapers and radio stations in Rwanda before the 1994 genocide that led to hundreds of thousands of people being slaughtered.

Al Hussein urged authorities in the UK to use the law to clamp down on "vicious verbal assault on migrants and asylum seekers in the UK tabloid press", adding: "The Nazi media described people their masters wanted to eliminate as rats and cockroaches. This type of language is clearly inflammatory and unacceptable, especially in a national newspaper.

"The Sun's editors took an editorial decision to publish this article, and - if it is found in breach of the law - should be held responsible along with the author." In June Hopkins reflected upon the column, admitting she regretted some of the extreme language she used. She told the Press Association: "There's some things about that column, there are some words which in hindsight you'd probably look to pull out of there.

"But I think overall my message isn't about the idea that we want to see migrants and people suffering, it's an idea that we need to find solutions to problems."

Star like all the others you are making excuses for failure on the part of the British leaders planning.
NO you are not over populated not even close as posted Multiple times. plenty of other nations and cities are more populated. you could increase the population by millions Just by modernizing one of your major cities.

Quite frankly it disgusting that you think you should not hear other accents.

If you want to talk about Australia go to the Australia thread... I have said we Should be founding a new city and taking MILLIONS.

Cities..."spit"....the bane of civilisation.....

by veya_victaous Thu Sep 10, 2015 12:19 am

see like i said in the civil war thread this is just evolution

Cities Are Civilization, and just like every time the bumpkins at the edge of civilization blinded by their tears of Anxiety caused by their fear of change will be led by the hand into the future. Rolling Eyes

by Guest Thu Sep 10, 2015 12:26 am

Veya..who wants your vision of utopia.....cities stink.....cities are crowded cities are inconvenient
cities are noisy cities FORCE people into overcrowded areas with no "me space"

cities are an intrusion on "personal space"

and when its raining every bastard there trys to blind you with an umbrella

(they also push disabled people out of the way, tread on your kids, and hate you if you have a dog....)

and 90% of them only visit the countryside to dump rubbish.....

by veya_victaous Thu Sep 10, 2015 1:42 am

British Cities may be like that
and
Country bumpkins
Stink literally like shit of all sorts of animals
shoot your dog or anything cute and fluffy
And 90% only visit civilization to get their lives saved by technology or some other wonder that is only possible by the mass grouping of humanity.

See i can make up a rant a s good as you Cool

and selfishness victor, there is no Me space for most people so why do you get it, your ancestors took it by the gun off others... Rolling Eyes

something about what is good for geese and ganders Wink

If you are so lucky to be one of the FEW on earth that has so much that you don't need to share your space... And still get access to modern health care, internet, education and all the rest.. You really have no right to complain.

FACT the Number of Humans on the Planet Means that the Planet Cannot Support YOUR lifestyle for most people. Only the efficiency of cities allows so many Humans to exist.

It's not about what you want it is about what is needed.

"mass groupings" no longer needed...with modern comms.....cities are a pointless anachronism
oh...and you primitives may only have hospitals in cities....here at least we have them in our smaller market towns too true the cons keep trying to close them but hey ho...

Sigh

Why not those wishing for a war, I have a very easy solution for you so you can have your war with Islam. Book a flight to Turkey and then join a Militia to fight ISIS and allow the rest of those of us with sanity to get on with our lives. You can have all the war you want then with this extremist group that shares the same goals and aims that you have.

Thank you

cities have a far higher murder rate than rural areas
cities have a far higher overall crime rate than rural areas
cities have a far higher "hate crime " rate than their rurl cousins .."market towns", many of which DO have a relatively high immigrant population....

We are at the forefront of the modern and civilised world... it is the huge numbers in other countries who want to live like we do... that's why so many of them aspire to be like us and why so many are literally dying to try to get here and have some of it!!!

There are also huge numbers of people in those countries who don't want to adopt our advanced civilised ways and want to carry on living in their same old ways... these are the people who need to be dragged into the 21st century... and the sooner they are then the sooner the rest of their people will be more satisfied in their own countries instead of trying to get here and other more advanced nations for a part of this.

Mass immigration here by people who want this 'better'life, is actually choking it off and eventually will make the whole thing collapse into ruin with huge overcrowding, huge rises in cost of living, businesses folding as they simply cannot meet costs and wage demands and remain afloat etc... we are already seeing the systems creaking and costs spiraling.

People should be improving things more in their home countries instead of all trying to jump onto our ship and eventually making it sink.

HERE HERE Tommy. I quite agree with you. What the hell is Cameron playing at, inviting in 20,000! Will he house any of them at No.10? Or tents in Downing St? The man's mental and not looking ahead at what may become of England and the English people.
