Video: Katie Hopkins: Brunel University students stage mass walk out at debate as columnist speaks
from the Independent:
Students protested against Hopkins’ inclusion on a panel debating the welfare state
Many people have wondered how best to deal with Katie Hopkins and her often offensive views that inevitably receive so much attention.
On Monday, students at Brunel University demonstrated one way of shutting her down when they filled a theatre for a debate featuring Hopkins and then turned their backs to her as soon as she began speaking.
The controversial columnist has ramped up her provocative statements in recent months. Her most infamous column dehumanised refugees by comparing them to cockroaches and led for calls for her sacking in the wake of the refugee crisis.
She repeated her calls for boats carrying refugees to Europe to be sent back as she appeared at the Ukip conference in September.
Hopkins joined a panel at the university for the debate, ’Does the Welfare State have a place in 2015?’ as part of the University’s 50th anniversary celebrations.
