After the shocking attacks in Manchester, let's get hatred and division off the airwaves
UPDATE: We won! Just three days into our campaign, LBC has sacked Katie Hopkins. Thanks to everyone who gave their support.
LBC and Katie Hopkins have agreed that Katie will leave LBC effective immediately.

After the shocking attack on young people enjoying a concert in Manchester last night, most of us were preoccupied with grieving the devastating loss of life and supporting those affected in whatever way we could.
But Katie Hopkins, LBC host and professional troll, immediately began whipping up hatred — attacking Muslims and calling for a ‘final solution’.
This kind of hatred and division has no place in our society, especially after such a terrible event.
UPDATE: In less than a day, we’ve already had more than 2,500 signatures on this petition.
Meanwhile, here are some companies who have been advertising on LBC:
Tesco
Boots
AA
Indeed.com
EE
More Than
Ebay
BMW
Trainline.com
Amazon
HelloYouDating.Com
Have they considered where their money is ending up?

She is not helping she just spreads hatred

Hopkins is a moral sewer, though I doubt banning her is the right response. A better response is to publicly revile her. As for the comments of Fred and Brian, I’d be grateful if they would provide at least a modicum of evidence for their assertions.

Bearing in mind the last man to attempt a Final Solution”, Hopkins ought to have had more sense than to use the term.

Yes, yes, yes, we’re all in sympathy with the victims and all that, but the REAL mission is to combat anyone who might suggest that Islam has anything at all to do with violence and intolerance. It’s a religion of peace, and the real criminals are the people running the so-called ‘liberal democracies’.

Maybe ‘Fred’ should read some other Pew Research:
