A new petition has called for Katie Hopkins to be sent to Syria in exchange for 50,000 displaced refugees.
The petition on Change.org has garnered nearly 17,000 signatures and claims that the move will "get rid of the UK’s contribution to the hall of national embarrassments”.
The petition comes after Katie famously wrote in her column for the The Sun that she wanted ‘bodies floating in the water’ before she would sympathise with Syrian refugees.
She wrote: “No, I don’t care. Show me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad. I still don’t care.”
Katie’s article was resurfaced earlier this week when the image of a 3-year-old boy drowned on a beach in Turkey went viral online.
The gentleman who started the petition wrote: "The UK however has currently not got the space for refugees, no this is not because we are full it is because Kate Hopkins massive head takes it all up, so I propose we swap Hopkins and send her to Syria, a country where I am sure she would be welcome, and instead take in 50,000 refugees, the facts are they deserve a lot more than she does, and it would be a win win all round, we help people and save their lives and at the same time get rid of the UK’s contribution to the hall of national embarrassments."
