Headlined "Rescue boats?
I'd use gunships to stop migrants" the 40-year-old, Katie Hopkins, said she didn't care and said the migrants were "built to survive a nuclear bomb".
She wrote: "Show me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad. I still don't care.
"Because in the next minute you'll show me pictures of aggressive young men at Calais, spreading like norovirus on a cruise ship.
"Make no mistake, these migrants are like cockroaches. They might look a bit 'Bob Geldof's Ethiopia circa 1984', but they are built to survive a nuclear bomb. They are survivors.
"Once gunships have driven them back to their shores, boats need to be confiscated and burned on a huge bonfire."
At what point do comments in a paid newspaper column turn from controversial "banter" into a tirade of hate?
Could I legitimately punch her in the face and claim it was "banter"? I hope so because, although I don't approve of violence to settle an argument, I would have no sympathy if this was settled with a slap from
a relative of someone who just drowned.
How far will she take the Katie Hopkins "Woman of controversy" character?
So Katie...How did you spend your precious time on Earth?
