BREAKING: Katie Hopkins sacked by LBC

Left Foot Forward campaigned for an advertiser boycott when Hopkins demanded a 'final solution' after the Manchester attack

Katie Hopkins has been sacked by LBC, having called for a ‘final solution’ after the Manchester attacks.

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.

    Are all you lefties frightened of language, or what? She is right, a “final solution” IS needed, is it not? How long do you want terrorism from religious fanatics to be tolerated in this country? We are supposed to have got over all that a few centuries back, and now here it is again. Using those words does not imply the use of mass extermination and gas chambers. And here’s something no-one seems to have mentioned: LBC (who similarly sacked another excellent, although this time left wing, presenter, Ken Livingstone, with the equally good David Mellor as fallout) seem to have done this principally to protect its own revenue, following a threat from some leftie outfit (yes, Left Foot Forward, I mean YOU) to campaign for advertisers to withdraw their business! RIP, Freedom of Speech!
