Katie Hopkins Falls For Islamic Road Sign Tweet

Yeah, that's quite clearly fake.

Katie Hopkins was frothing with outrage on Thursday morning over apparent evidence of the increasing influence of Islam in Britain.

The motor-mouthed commentator tweeted a picture appearing to show Arabic translations on a road sign in Yorkshire.

The picture was earlier tweeted by 'Juliette' with a link to an article in the 'The New Observer', an American Conservative website.

Tellingly, the original story now appears to have been pulled.

The New Observer

Intriguingly, the photoshopped text roughly translates as...

Hi,

Refugees welcome,

May a pussy swallow you whole,

May Allah be with you.

Thankfully, more reasonable people were on hand to clarify the situation.
