Even by her standards, these remarks about the migrants attempting to get to Italy, hit new and unprecedented depths.

Is she breaching race hate laws? Thoughts?

A bit strong to compare Hopkins to Hitler? Read her column on page 11 of yesterday’s Sun.
“Rescue boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants”. That was The Sun's headline, written apparently without concern.
She then refers to migrants in Calais who try to board trucks heading to Britain as “a plague of feral humans”.
She proposes an Australian approach to migrants on boats. “They threaten them with violence until they bugger off, throwing cans of Castlemaine in an Aussie version of sharia stoning”.
She says we don’t need Save the Children “encouraging” migrants to make the journey. “What we need are gunships sending these boats back to their own country”.
She adds: “Some of our towns are festering sores, plagued by swarms of migrants and asylum seekers, shelling out benefits like Monopoly money”.
Then she writes this, and The Sun prints it. “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”.
In the environment that led to creation of the Third Reich in Germany, Polish people were seen as "an East European species of cockroach", while Jews were rats. When Hutu extremists used radio propaganda to incite violence against the Tutsis during the Rwandan Genocide, they called on people to “weed out the cockroaches.”

She's driven herself out of her loaf trying to come up with ever more shocking statements and now exists in a limbo where she honestly believes nothing she says has any ramification.
Did anyone else catch the news report that she's had a panic button and Redcare-type alarm installed at her home? For fear of people attacking her, apparently.
She calls them cockroaches which is perhaps not a smart move,
but the gun ships, I agree, and so does the Italian PM. These people have to be turned away. I suspect she is saying what many people are thinking, not the cockroach bit.
Not sure this needed its own thread.
Why??
Perhaps a deluge of complaints to press complaints committee is in order.
Her comments are absolutely repugnant and she should be taken to task - and face prosecution if in breach of the law.
You make her send her Correct
Good old DS jerking its knee.
So children should be taken into care because the parents have opinions that do not conform with accepted norms? I think you'd be happier in Soviet Eastern Europe.
The problem with her is that even though she's obviously a professional troll, there are plenty of people out there who don't get that and take her seriously so I do think she's walking a bit of a tightrope with some of the things she says.
But then like most trolls, there'll be a point where she goes too far and it'll backfire. Maybe this article is that point, maybe it isn't but it'll happen one day.
But everything she says is because she thinks people want to hear it.
This time she is most definitely right, in my personal opinion.
It amazes me that the first thing members want when they hear a person say something they don't like is for that person to be locked up/prosecuted.
Why? Are you scared of honest, open debate? I thfoughly disagree with her views but the way to defeat such ideas is by winning the argument, not by preventing free speech.
I'm merely posing the question, as the remarks seem so extreme.
Because they need to get to the giant sunglasses and straw hat depot to sell them on the beach asap.
very soviet union.
There not extreme, I can ensure you of that. Other forums have views which are far more extreme.
So you condone the use of comments like "feral humans" and "cockroaches"?
