Outrage over claim Ed Miliband should put his wife ‘in the oven’

Social media users called for her arrest after the slur against the Milibands.

Mr Miliband has repeatedly spoken of how his parents, Ralph Miliband and Marion Kozak, fled the Shoah in the 1940s.

Gillian Walnes, executive director of Holocaust-education group the Anne Frank Trust UK, said: "[Ms Hopkins] is a simple-minded, publicity-craving woman who speaks before she thinks.

"Even taking out the Holocaust references and the Miliband family connection to the Holocaust, why does this woman need to be quite so personally offensive and abusive?"

One Twitter user, David Price, wrote: “Sun columnist tells Holocaust family member to gas his wife. Either very stupid or extremely offensive.”

Julie Black tweeted: “Utterly unbelievable. Why is she still allowed on here?”

Following the criticism, Ms Hopkins went on to tweet on Friday: “Jews and Gays love me. Get over it.

“The Scots and Palestinians aren’t so keen. I give you that.”

Ms Hopkins, who was photographed with David Cameron last week, has previously said she hoped the Labour leader would get syphilis.
