Calls for TV star’s arrest following Twitter comments
People on Twitter have called for the arrest of Katie Hopkins following anti-Muslim comments she made on social media.
The always controversial Katie was watching Channel 4’s 24 Hours in Custody when she made the ill-advised decision to tweet: “Father beats his daughter with an iron bar. But he is a good Muslim, prays in his cell & attends the mosque. So that’s all happy days then … The police are singing from the same hymn sheet. Mohammed is going DAAAAAAN. Alahu Akbar “

She then continued, inciting further outrage: “Palestinians busy knifing Israelis. 2 state solution my arse. Filthy rodents burrowing beneath Israel. Time to restart the bombing campaign.”

There have now been calls from many people on Twitter to bring Katie's tweets to the attention of police, citing them as hateful and racist.

Eek – something tells us Katie may play a tough game, but behind bars would be a whole different story. Let's see how this one plays out…
