More than a thousand migrants have died attempting to get into Europe over the past week, including 900 who perished horribly, trapped in the hold of a Tunisian ship near the Libyan coast. Many thousands have died before and many thousands will die in the near future attempting the same venture unless we in Europe change our policies. Everybody is agreed that something has to be done.
For the liberal left, the answer is to sack Katie Hopkins, a fellow columnist of mine at the Sun. Not just sack her but also prosecute her and prosecute the editor of the Sun. More than 200,000 people have signed a petition got up by someone called Izzy Saunders demanding her removal from the paper because she wrote something with which they disagreed. Hopkins had written an article saying that we shouldn’t let the migrants in, that she felt no pity for them and that they were ‘cockroaches’. Seeing the news reports about the 900 dead, then, the liberal left did not send money or aid, or get up a petition to demand action to save the lives of future migrants: its response was to salve its own conscience by trying to destroy the career of someone it disagreed with.
I do not agree with Hopkins that the migrants are ‘cockroaches’ — although she meant it in the sense that they were indestructible, and had clearly written the piece before the latest tragedy — and I do feel pity for them. A lot of pity. But calling Hopkins a ‘Nazi’ and putting her in jail is just the liberal left once again trying to feel good about itself, and stamping its little feet and — as usual — trying to restrict freedom of speech.

There’s plenty of people in GB who are aghast that she was reported to the police - they’re all over FB.
My question is: who died in that disaster? All I see landing are young men and teenage boys. Did the majority of people who were drowned women and children?
Just as in the flooding of our borders, it is always men and boys. But, somehow, they never show up in the photos.
I’m not saying women and children don’t get through - some of them obviously do.
That's SOP for the left and onto the next outrage!
Did anyone start a #savekatie (pound sign save katie). Has UKIP made a statement in her defense? I posted something about her the other day and despite it sounding awful, she is right if anyone expects to keep their country from being infested. Unfettered and unchecked trespassing will overload the system rapidly. Kinda reminds me of seeing the videos of the mouse infestation in places. Millions of them until the run out of sustenance and they start eating each other til they’re all gone. Yes, we are idiots for allowing it and the newly gopE controlled congress isn’t going to do a thing. Well except capitulate to the lyin’ king aka working together.
Here's a future possibility. When the pesthole countries the illegals are leaving are finally and totally empty, the natives of the countries they invaded should be allowed to colonize those countries again.
I’m not on Twitter so I don’t know. It’s still a little early for people to get activated - the news only came out yesterday about the police report.
Imagine going to jail for being rude? Coming to a theater near us.
No twit here either. But it is the UK we’re talking about and apparently rudeness is becoming a chargeable offense. How long before it becomes one here? We already have adding “hate” to a crime to make it more serious. HUH?
This ‘refugee’ stunt is a TRICK designed to get MORE terrorists into Europe. 0dungo and Hillary cleared the path by removing Ghaddafi without Congress’ consent. You gonna delete THIS comment TOO, moderator???? Sheeeeeeesh!!!!
Yes; I believe we’ll end up with these laws unless there’s a major change.
Pretty soon everyone in GB is going to end up in jail - Brits can really be rude!
Yep, the results do not matter as long as the left feels good about it.
The UK ain’t a free country.
