Sun columnist Katie Hopkins calls for ‘euthanasia vans’ as Britain has ‘far too many old people’

Media personality Katie Hopkins claims the UK has “far too many old people” and says she would be “super keen on euthanasia vans” to eradicate the problem.

The controversial Sun columnist, who only recently apologized for the language in her inflammatory piece which referred to immigrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean as “cockroaches,” said it was “ridiculous” that animals could be put to sleep, “but not people.”

In an interview with the Radio Times, she argued although medical science allowed people to live longer, that didn’t necessarily mean it was the right path to choose.

“We just have far too many old people,” she said. “It’s ridiculous to be living in a country where we can put dogs to sleep but not people.”

“We need to accept that just because medical advances mean we can live longer, it’s not necessarily the right thing to do.”

Her solution to the problem? “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. I mean this genuinely. I’m super-keen on euthanasia vans,” she said.

Hopkins also ruminated on the state of education, saying children were unnecessarily pampered and advocating harsher segregation of abilities.

“They split you into A and B streams, which was great because you knew you were with the bright ones and all the thick kids were in the B group,” she said of her own school days.

One in twenty deaths in Belgium are from euthanasia . No joke, this is the path Europe is taking. And you know if Europe does it, the U.S. will follow close behind.

Children’s euthanasia bill signed by Belgium king - Belgium’s king has signed into law a controversial bill that will allow for chronically ill children to be euthanized, local media reports. The bill, while widely opposed by religious groups, has broadly support among the public.

Well what the hell, they're killing unborn children why not old folks too?

How about the unemployed?

Political dissidents?

Foreigners?

Instantly reminded me of this scene in Soylent Green:

Occasionally,, they say it out loud.

They say it aloud all the time. Talk about how medical resources should be allocated, and the "90% of medical spending goes to old sick people!!" talking point always comes up. Their idea of balancing the budget is simply taking care away from those who need it the most.

Socialism is the class of the workers. If you aren't working, you are a burden.

It will be quite the surprise to many (as to just who is purged)

I don't see anything in that quote that advocates eugenics. I see him making an observation; but no solution, agenda or treatment is advocated. In fact; you could very well argue that he is against eugenics and saying this trait of ours is what makes us "civilized".

It is science. No quote marks required. And he is right. The problem with his remarks is two-fold. First, bad genes will, according to his own theory, eventually die out naturally as the strong in the species will indeed be the survivors. It's the "allow" part that's objectionable, because assuming that a group of humans should be the sole decider of who is and isn't allowed to breed undermines natural selection.

Second, one has to look no further than the modern American-bred German Shepherd to see what a group of idiots can do when they pick a standard and breed it for looks over function.

Pivot of Civilization, 1922. Here, Margaret Sanger speaks on her eugenic philosophy – that only the types of “quality” people she and her peers viewed as worthy of life should be allowed to live.

Such parents swell the pathetic ranks of the unemployed. Feeble-mindedness perpetuates itself from the ranks of those who are blandly indifferent to their racial responsibilities. And it is largely this type of humanity we are now drawing upon to populate our world for the generations to come. In this orgy of multiplying and replenishing the earth, this type is pari passu multiplying and perpetuating those direst evils in which we must, if civilization is to survive, extirpate by the very roots.

that would be a NAP violation though I do have a list of individuals whom I would never lift a hand to help under any circumstances no matter how dire and of course were my granny to be stuffed in a euthanasia van I would consider all who took part even passively as active aggressors and treat them accordingly.

Just give it time until the government stops 'allowing' who they consider the worst of us to breed. They had sterilization in the past, the Darwinists are just foaming waiting to implement it again I imagine.

They're usually in good enough shape to make it to a voting booth or fill out an absentee ballot at home. As long as they're useful for political ends, the pols will keep them around somehow.

The Eugenics agenda has really been pushed for nearly a decade.

Wouldn't it be just as humane and a whole lot cheaper just to shoot them in the heads like horses?

Euthanasia should be legal, their panels deciding, no.

I'm sure she, as well as Bill Gates, will not mention the costs of the state licensing and regulatory agencies, or the tick-like public funded insurance malfeasance, or the whole charade being propped up by funny money antics of robbers and thieves. A forty dollar lancet? "How is that possible?" A reasonable person might ask.

Funny how that happens. One can either assume they are ignorant or complicitly evil. If you listen to them and read what they write for long enough, the answer is obvious.

3 states (OR, VT, and WA) legalized physician-assisted suicide via legislation

1 state (MT) has legal physician-assisted suicide via court ruling

You won't need the courts...the licensed professionals will call law enforcement to speed things up.
