Don't agree with Brand at all that Hopkins is espousing established policy. He doesn't even say what he mean by that in fact he just starts comparing her to Himmler. It might be valid to compare her rhetoric with that of the Nazis but the Nazis aren't exactly established policy anymore are they. Our politicians are actually all united in the need to do more to tackle this problem, most of them in favour of a European wide or a worldwide solution. It's an incredibly complicated issue though and there is no simple remedy however much Brand thinks we can solve all the worlds problems by making "individual transitions" to "find your own humanity". Him making out that her views are representative of mainstream society and established policy, rather than purely representing Hopkins insatiable need to satisfy her own ego with media converage, is just as stupid as her being allowed a column in the most popular national newspaper.
