Hundreds of thousands want The Sun columnist Katie Hopkins fired for deeming migrants ‘cockcroaches’

The comments from the controversial columnist have sparked a firestorm of public anger, and they are even more callous on a week where up to 950 immigrants drowned when the boat they were sailing in capsized in the Mediterranean.

Now, over 260,000 people have signed a petition to have her fired from The Sun newspaper.

Not only that, but an online campaign to support migrants has so far raised £25,000.

The money will go towards Medicins Sans Frontieres, so medical teams can deliver aid to migrants in the Mediterranean.

Ms. Hopkins had also been the target of savage criticism in recent days when she suggested the use of gunships to stop migrants from crossing the Mediterranean sea into Europe.
