Katie Hopkins suggests introducing 'euthanasia vans' to visit the elderly

Katie Hopkins has once again provided the solution to a problem that doesn’t exist by explaining how she would manage the overwhelming number of elderly people in the UK.

Hopkins told the Radio Times she would like to see a world where elderly people enjoyed similar treatment to dogs thanks to ground-breaking ‘euthanasia vans’ that would visit people and let them die.

“They might even have a nice little tune they’d play,” she said.

“I mean this genuinely. I’m super-keen on euthanasia vans. We need to accept that just because medical advances mean we can live longer, it’s not necessarily the right thing to do.

“It’s ridiculous to be living in a country where we can put dogs to sleep but not people.”

Continuing her endearing plight, she told Michael Buerk what her career would be if she didn’t pursue Being Needlessly Cruel as a full time job.

“You’re fat because you eat too much and don’t exercise,” she says, of obese people “End of. My dream job would be to sit in the doctor’s surgery, ticking them off. ‘Get a grip, you fat b*****d. Stop eating and get out there and walk.”
