Katie Hopkins, conservative columnist for "The Sun", a nationwide newspaper in England and Ireland owned by Rupert Murdoch, has sparked controversy after she apparently advocated “euthanasia vans” to reduce the country’s aging population. The Sun journalist Katie Hopkins, age 40, told Radio Times magazine the United Kingdom has “too many old people”, The Guardian has reported. “It’s ridiculous to be living in a country where we can put dogs to sleep but not people,” she said. When being pressed by the interviewer for a solution, she replied, “Easy. Euthanasia vans – just like ice-cream vans – that would come to your home.” “It would all be perfectly charming. They might even have a nice little tune they’d play.” The mother-of-three has publicly said in the past she would never apologise for her comments, a stance which recently appeared to soften. Hopkins reflected on a piece she wrote in April which compared migrants to “cockroaches” and suggested she would use “gunships” to stop boat people arriving from the Mediterranean. “There's some things about that column, there are some words which in hindsight you'd probably pull out of there,” she told the country’s Press Association yesterday. “But I think overall my message isn't about the idea that we want to see migrants and old people suffering, it's an idea that we need to find solutions to problems.” Hopkins is set to launch her own chat show on UK television in the coming months.
