The assassination Of Katie Hopkins

Katie Hopkins is a British controversial columnist who warns about the dangers of Islam and immigrants in general.

I post this to highlight our governments blatant hypocrisy.

These are her words not mine.

Dear ******

Do you think I should be assassinated?

I ask, because last night, at the Theatre Clwyd in Wales, the press gathered to watch a play called The Assassination of Katie Hopkins.

It has received huge attention from the liberal press and the state broadcaster, finding the musical's title to be in jolly good taste and hugely entertaining.

In fact, The Assassination of Katie Hopkins also benefits from state funding. Which is a curious way to spend taxpayers cash at a time when we can't afford hospitals or police.

But it's not a joke. Two jihadis were sent to prison in 2017 for plotting to behead me, having practised on a plastic dummy with a hunting knife.

Is a play calling for The Assassination of Katie Hopkins acceptable? Especially given the jihadist plot to kill me? Isn't this rhetoric incitement to violence?

Perhaps it is deemed ok because I'm a white Conservative? What would the response be if the name was changed, to a female Labour MP?

Or a Muslim mayor...?
