Katie Hopkins leaves LBC radio show after 'final solution' tweet

Hopkins hosted a weekly show on LBC on Sundays. A spokesman for the broadcaster said: “LBC and Katie Hopkins have agreed that Katie will leave LBC effective immediately.” The station refused to confirm or deny that Hopkins had been sacked, or give details of the severance. Asked for further details, a spokesman said: “That’s all we’re saying.”

There were “massive cheers and applause” from former colleagues in the newsroom after confirmation was received that she would be leaving, the BBC’s media editor, Amol Rajan, reported.

Hopkins’ tweet, made in the hours after the explosion at Manchester Arena, said: “22 dead – number rising. Schofield. Don’t you even dare. Do not be a part of the problem. We need a final solution Machester [sic].”

Her hatred grew steadily more extreme over the years, forcing The Sun, the Daily Mail and everyone else having to drop her as too extreme even for them (more in that Guardian article). That the White House (Stephen Miller, I expect) follows her just shows what white supremacists they are.
