Intervention read by Katie Hopkins, representing Hopkins World

Below is the prepared text for Ms. Hopkins’ intervention:

My name is Katie Hopkins.

I confess, I am an outsider. I have not spent too much time in conference rooms like this, with people in suits wearing badges, but I have spent a great deal of time in the ports of Southern Italy and Sicily, observing first hand the highly sophisticated operations of the NGO rescue boats across the Med, and those profiting from their cargo of humans.

I have also spent time working on the streets to understand their victims — particularly women trafficked into prostitution, now working at the side of the road in Europe.

Be clear — NGO rescue boats do not involve a frantic search for people. They boats have scheduled departure times and pre-agreed collection zones off the Libyan coasts. In effect, they are a ferry service across the Mediterranean and part of the business model of the trafficker

I recommend members of the OSCE follow the excellent lead of Mr Salvini in Italy, and cease support for NGO rescue operations in the Med, move to impound NGO boats purporting to act as rescue vessels, and refuse to give port to these boats — in our shared aim of halting the trafficking of people for profit.

Controlling inflatable boats from China is like trying to combat Hurricane Florence with an umbrella.

In July, the Spanish government agreed to take 630 persons moved across the Med on board the ‘rescue ship’ Aquarius — a German-Franco endeavour.

By accepting the human cargo of these boats governments of Britain, Germany, Portugal, France and Spain are — by extension— part of the problem. Be part of the solution and stop the boats.

Thank you.

One thought on “Katie Hopkins to the OSCE: NGO Rescue Boats Are Part of the Business Model of the Trafficker

  1. I have a particular respect for people like Katie Hopkins, who puts her own time and well-being on the line to observe first hand the awful effects of the open borders and rescue-at-sea policy of the countries tolerating the NGO rescue presence.

    The NGO rescue operations have the welfare of the “refugees” in mind the same way that FGM-tolerant NOW has the welfare of women in mind. The question in my mind is, is there actual cash or specie transfer involved, or are their motivations purely derived from the internalized cultural Marxist hatred of the West and its culture?

    Faith Goldy, now running for mayor of Toronto, is another real journalist, who spend nights on the Canadian-US border documenting massive streams of immigrant “refugees” pouring into Canada from the transit-point US. Seems like even the barely-noticeable tightening of the Trump administration on “refugee” benefits was enough to send them fleeing into Canada, where Trudeau maintains the welcome mat and welcome piggy bank of benefits.
