This follows a Left Foot Forward campaign, launched this week, calling for advertisers to boycott LBC until Hopkins was removed.
Our campaign was a response to Hopkins’s comments about the terrible attack in Manchester. Within hours, while most of us were still reeling at the tragic news, she was already whipping up hatred — attacking Muslims and calling for a ‘final solution’.
We wanted to make it clear that such hatred and division has no place in our society.
With the thousands of you who joined us, we made it clear to LBC that they couldn’t afford to give a loudspeaker to hate.
Thanks so much for your support.
To reach hundreds of thousands of new readers and to make the biggest impact we can in the next general election, we need to grow our donor base substantially.
That's why in 2024, we are seeking to generate 150 additional regular donors to support Left Foot Forward's work.
We still need another 124 people to donate to hit the target. You can help. Donate today.

Her attitude is part of the problem don’t you see that Fred, don’t you find her words utterly disgusting ? incendiary words that could lead to further violence.

oh Fred, are you Katie in disguise? talk about missing the point!
no one supports terrorists (of any faith) and us “lefties” will condone their cowardly acts all the time (maybe you don’t read about this in the Daily Mail)? but we will also always challenge any bigoted generalising of a Faith when idiots like Katie encourage hatred and revenge. Hope your enjoy your starbucks lunch with Piers Morgan this morning, followed by a spot of fox hunting (hows that for generalising?)
On a serious note, I recognise your comment and hope you have a lovely day x

What’s the betting that some poisonous publication will offer her a job?

The Daily Fail will now offer her a prominent posirtion in their paper.

Like so many other people I have been sickened on many occasions by this woman’s comments over the years. To suggest a ‘Final Solution’ is speaking the filthy language of the Nazis and by implication is an incitement to racial hatred a crime in itself. I feel no pity for her. I hope she suffers torment for the many thousands of immigrants she’s insulted and scorned, for the boat people that drowned, for those trying to escape the slaughter of Western bombs falling on their towns and cities. May she be dumped on the scrap heap of history for the rest of her miserable, bigoted life.
