Katie Hopkins on Manchester: We Need to Demand Action and Say We Need To Be Deporting These People

‘What I can say is there are certain thoughts you’re just simply not allowed to have’

RUSH EXCERPT:
HOPKINS: "I really don’t know anymore here in the U.K. What I can say is there are certain thoughts you're just simply not allowed to have. So for me to say that this is no good anymore, it’s not good enough even to say that we can carry on as normal, I demand action. I want people to use their anger to say we need to do something to stop this. We need to be reporting these people, deport the people that are hiding them, and get amongst us because this is our little girls, our 8-year-olds. We need to be able to talk like that. Clearly certain things I tweet, I absolutely accept, use the word final solution in a tweet and I would not in any way want to use that term and the inference people lay on that. What I meant was we need a long lasting solution, a resolution to this. It’s 24 hours now since I woke up to the news of what has gone on and I’m just feeling what were missing as that real feeling of emotion connecting with the fact this is our little girl, these are our children. This could be our children next. We just have the threat level raised a critical which is the maximum level. Military are coming into our streets which is a great thing, but I always wondered is how did we go from saying we are strong, we stand united, we are not cowards, to tanks arriving on our street. We do have a problem, we did have a problem in our little girls have been slaughtered in the worst possible way with nails and nuts and bolts and homemade bomb. If my children breakfast this morning said I’d rather be shot than caught in a bomb that’s made of ball bearings. What conversation are we having here in 21st century Britain where children are growing up with terror being normal and a man planting a bomb filled with nuts and bolts when they’re out having fun, that’s normal in Britain, and we brought that war into our country."
