General Election 2015: 14-year-old boy asks Nick Clegg – 'can you kill Katie Hopkins?'
|
Version 0 of 1. A 14-year-old boy just asked Nick Clegg the best question of the campaign: can you kill Katie Hopkins? “No, no, no,” I don’t think that’s a good idea, replied the Deputy Prime Minister, telling the kid to “just ignore” the controversial columnist who last month described migrants who drowned in the Mediterranean as “cockroaches”. But he praised the schoolboy – Harvey Cuffe – for a “brilliant question” and said he could teach the travelling press pack with him “a thing or two”. The boy, enjoying a bank holiday in the sun before an exam tomorrow, initially asked Mr Clegg if he could arrest Ms Hopkins, to which the Lib Dem replied: “No, I don’t think I can”. Disappointed with the first response, the boy asked Mr Clegg to take more drastic action. It remains to be seen whether the Lib Dem leader decides to sacrifice her if it’s the price of a coalition with Labour. |
