i do hope medical science invents immortality before i'm that age. i don't want to be in a care home. although even if they do invent immortality, probably only the rich will be able to afford it.

My point is that she's seemingly not merely refering to those "ready to go". Specifically, the part where she says something along the lines of "just because medical advances allow us to live longer doesn't mean it's the right thing to do" sounds like she expects old people to essentially end their lives at a certain age as a requirement for population control, not a choice.

Why doesnt she lead by example and jump off a cliff?

Why oh why must we report on everything she says or does. Stop giving her attention. Stop making her news.

Killing off people once they reach a certain age is like an idea from a story set in a sinister dystopian dictatorship. :umm2:

We don't have too many old people, we have too many cruel, spiteful pieces of trash like her.

I was't going to post on this thread as I just dismiss near all this ignorant waste of space that is Katie Hopkins does or says,as to ever saying anything decent or relevant as to society in general.

It is beyond my understanding that anyone even listens to her, let alone agree with her especially on these issues.

Anyway all I came on to say really was I agree 100% with every word you say in your post and really well said too Lostie.
A truly horrible and rotten from the core individual is Hopkins,truly rotten.

Oops .. this has come back to bite her on the butt, wish I had a thread to put it in :hehe:

'Katie Hopkins, the outspoken newspaper columnist, has been questioned by police over allegations she incited racial hatred with an article about migrants.
The controversial media personality was criticised for a piece in The Sun in April in which she compared asylum seekers to "cockroaches".
Hopkins, 40, also said she would use "gunships" to halt boats from crossing the Mediterranean just a day after hundreds of migrants were killed off the Sicilian coast.'
