‘We need a final solution’: British columnist tweets — then deletes — after Manchester bombing

The Washington Post reports:

A British tabloid columnist faced calls for a police investigation on Tuesday after she used the term “final solution” to describe how the country should respond to the deadly bombing in Manchester.

The phrase is the well-known euphemism used by the Nazis for the genocide of the Jews.

Katie Hopkins, a conservative writer for Mail Online, invoked it in a tweet responding to the explosion at an Ariana Grande concert Monday night, which killed 22 people and injured dozens of others. The Islamic State claimed responsibility, saying one of its “soldiers” had carried out the attack.

The tweet was directed to Phillip Schofield, host of the British news show “This Morning,” though it was not clear what he said to prompt it.
