People are not happy.
Vogue Williams has angered a lot of people with her recent column after calling for internment camps for extremists living in the UK. She referenced the idea, which was first put forward by Tarique Ghaffur, saying:
“Another approach was suggested by a Muslim former police chief, Tarique Ghaffur, who said thousands of radical extremists must be locked up in new internment camps to protect Britain.
This is something that should be decided by the people, but I certainly agree with it. The only way to stop these senseless attacks is to put any potential threats away.”
She then added:
“I know it didn’t work with the internment of IRA members in Northern Ireland when 2,000 alleged paramilitaries were held without trial in makeshift camps. But in today’s case the terrorists cannot be negotiated with.”

People have been criticising Vogue online for her article.
I don’t want to live in a world where Vogue Williams and Katie Hopkins are experts on controlling terrorism

It is hard to describe just how ineffably crude, stupid and pointless this ‘model’ is. @VogueWilliams try reading a book about terrorism. pic.twitter.com/lxkC2imAuI

Happy to be proven wrong: maybe Vogue Williams has a PhD in Security & Defence, but until then I don’t think she’s qualified to offer advice https://t.co/mTkmrDq6jO

You’re an absolute gobshite @VogueWilliams. How dare you? So many Irish men & women suffered under internment. Go read a history book. https://t.co/1raAZeqhZz

Fairly conclusive proof that Vogue Williams is a fucking moron. https://t.co/KGH8msTWaS

Vogue Williams calls for the mass internment without trial of Muslims in the U.K., even though she “knows it didn’t work with the IRA.” ??? pic.twitter.com/TSSnPQOVu0
