British television personality and former
The Apprentice contestant Katie Hopkins is well on her way into seniorhood, a stage of life that she recently told
Radio Times
means a person is ripe for termination. Old people, she says, should be
put to sleep much like animals at the kennel because they're too much
of a drain on society, in her view, suggesting "euthanasia vans" as the
solution.
When asked what she would do "if Katie Hopkins ruled
the world," the now-divorced shock columnist -- Hopkins' former husband
left her, prompting her to apply for
The Apprentice -- told
Michael Buerk that she would start by stamping out the elderly. There's
too many of them and it annoys her, apparently, so the best way to deal
with this problem would be to send out crews of senior-killers to
deliver euthanasia door-to-door.
"We just have far too many old
people," the disgruntled feminist told Buerk. "It's ridiculous to be
living in a country where we can put dogs to sleep but not people."
Killing
the elderly before their time can even be glamorous, Hopkins suggests.
It doesn't have to be done in a dimly-lit hospital room with grandma
strapped down to a table and forcibly injected. Cutesy little vans
filled with euthanasia workers can drive around town and deliver
termination pills to seniors' front doors, Hopkins says.
"Euthanasia
vans -- just like ice-cream vans -- that would come to your home," is
how she described it, in her own words. "It would all be perfectly
charming. They might even have a nice little tune they'd play. I mean
this genuinely. I'm super-keen on
euthanasia vans. We need to accept that just because medical advances mean we can live longer, it's not necessarily the right thing to do."
Hopkins: people with dementia are 'blocking beds,' and there's no point to their lives
Hopkins' off-color comments weren't made completely out of the blue.
Great Britain has been wrestling with whether or not to allow assisted
suicide for some time now, an idea that's repeatedly been shot down by
the Parliament. But Hopkins is tired of all this concern for human life
and wants to see all those gray-hairs six feet under as quickly as
possible.
This wouldn't be the first time that Hopkins has shown
such disdain for the more vulnerable members of society. A recent
"tweet" she posted to Twitter openly mocked dementia patients and their
propensity towards forgetting things, writing:
"Babe I'm here
again, I'm here again, where have you been. Babe I'm back again. I'm
back again Where have you been? Take That Dementia style."
And
just like how she views the elderly, Hopkins is of the persuasion that
dementia patients are pointlessly taking up space in hospitals and care
facilities, and should be put to sleep.
The Mirror Online
reported on a related Hopkins tweet that stated, "dementia sufferers
should not be blocking beds." It proceeded to question the point of
their lives.
It's inevitable that Hopkins will someday become one
of the many senior citizens in British society that she so despises.
And based on the continued regression of health throughout the West,
she's also got a pretty good chance of developing dementia at some point
in the future.
Both of these factors make Hopkins' distasteful
comments rather harrowing for her own survival -- who, but the most
gracious among us, would repay such a vile woman with kindness in her
old age? Considering Hopkins isn't married and loves to run her mouth
off at every chance possible about the merits of euthanasia, it's
difficult to see how she'll even make it into her sunset years.

Let's all go "Off the Record." I don't make it a habit of watching other networks, but I saw an article reporting that an MSNBC weekend host named Melissa Harris-Perry on her show objected to the use of the description hard worker. Now, what could possibly be wrong with the description hard worker, right?
