Katie Hopkins is to leave LBC with immediate effect, the radio station has confirmed. The announcement comes shortly after Hopkins said that a “final solution” is needed following the Manchester terror attack. A controversial tweet even by her standards, it appeared to imply that, in her eyes, there ought to be a genocide of Muslims, her use of ‘final solution’ presumably referring to the Nazis’ plan to murder all Jews within reach.
LBC (Leading Britain’s Conversation) is known for its outspoken, often defiantly right-wing discussions, so it is quite an egregious move for the station to part ways with a presenter. Last year, MailOnline, whom Hopkins still works for, was forced to pay £150,000 to a Muslim family whom she falsely accused of extremist links.
