Katie Hopkins offensive tweets

i guess her self publicising & controversial remarks were bound to get her fired at some point. Surprised she lasted this long TBH.

horrible women good rindence to her, she isn't as intelligent as she tries to make everyone believe.

She's still got her column in the Daily Mail though. I wonder how long that will last.

agreed. she is a bigot and in my book, no better than some of these hate preachers, well, she is one. I wouldn't condone it but surprised she has managed to not get a good shoeing by now.

Given that the Daily Mail should really carry the tagline of 'the newspaper that supported Hitler', I imagine for many years to come.

Fortunately there's only one of her.

Doesn't look like she'll get much of a leaving from her colleagues either - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/kat...

I hate to be a pedant but it was Mosley's Black Shirts that got the plug in the Mail.

Not that it makes it any better

If LBC thought they could sell more adverts by keeping her show than they'd lose by her devaluing their other more serious shows then they'd have kept her on. Nothing to do with Free Speech or being Offended.

Would she would have been sacked even if they hadn't received a single complaint? Of course it was something to do with people deciding to "offended".

Do you not agree that suggesting that we need "a final solution" is a tad controversial?

Judging by some of the information coming out I would imagine that some of her colleagues thought that was a bridge too far and made representations in addition to some public complaints.

This is a worrying development.

why?

Because whilst at LBC we know where she is and what she is up to.

This odious woman will soon be below the radar with a nuclear gob completely out of control !!

Fair Point
I couldn't resist a small peek at her Twitter timeline.
I think it's fair to say she isn't happy.

Of course it is, but she's pretty much made a career from making controversial statements. People are free to ignore them, or they could choose to be offended.

Bigot maybe but I don't recall having read any comments made by her that called for the killing of people.

In light of the tweet that ended it for her, you may want to reconsider.

What's a Final Solution?

A nail polish remover?

You only have to read threads like this to see why the likes of Hopkins are needed, needed very much.

Lefty's love to prove how clockwork they are. Laughable.

Do you pluralise much in your line of work?

As opposed to being on LBC?
