Katie Hopkins hops on board far-right ‘Defend Europe’ project for Mail Online

17 07 17
Last night, Katie Hopkins announced she would be spending the week aboard the C-Star, the ship chartered by far-right activist group ‘Defend Europe’.

No, I don’t care. 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. 

This comes as little surprise after her hateful April 2015 Sun column entitled “Rescue boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants”, describing desperate people attempting to cross the treacherous Mediterranean waters as “cockroaches”. She went on to voice a deep opposition to the NGO rescue missions that are currently being targeted by Defend Europe.

Just a couple of months ago, Hopkins doubled down on those remarks:

There is no doubt that Katie Hopkins will use her forthcoming online column to support and defend the life-threatening behaviour of Defend Europe, who are confirmed far-right activists.

HOPE not hate believes that Mail Online has a duty not to amplify the cheerleading of far-right extremist activity that could ultimately lead to the loss of lives.
