It looks like the nice outspoken lady has been given her marching orders...
I'm guessing she's overstepped the mark one too many times.
Good riddance, I say...
Broadcaster Katie Hopkins is to leave her show on LBC "immediately", the national talk radio station has said.
The presenter, who first rose to prominence as a contestant on The Apprentice in 2007, joined LBC last April.
Hopkins is known for her controversial opinions and regularly attracts criticism for her views.
She has continued tweeting since LBC's announcement but has not yet referred to her own departure.

Re: It looks like the nice outspoken lady has been given her marching orders...
Quite.
The Twatterati have hounded somebody out of a job for posting their views...
Let that be a warning to others eh...?
Given that many agreed with her (including me) it will be interesting to see how this affects their numbers...

We allow people with Nazi views freedom of speech. It doesn't mean they should earn a crust from it....cyprusgrump wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2017 8:17 pmQuite.

That you agree with her, says something.... but no surprise ...
Re: It looks like the nice outspoken lady has been given her marching orders...
Who's stopping her talking?
Besides, it was hardly free. She was getting paid.

I agree, she has been making a healthy & lucretive sponsership from her opposite views!

She has been hounded from her post by the Twatterati...
They wouldn't have sacked her but for the angry response from rent-a-crowd. Her listening figures were huge.
Which is fine if you happen to be on the side of rent-a-crowd at the time.
But one day rent-a-crowd will turn against you or one that you support and you may not be so enthusiastic about it.

Honestly. Anyone who can defend this harridan, needs examined. She is wicked and deranged.
Looks like she's joining Farage at Fox News.... they're more than welcome to her. She fits with their racist, bigoted and twisted views.

Perhaps some are defending her right to so called free speech? I'm not defending her as I have never listened to her, however the phrase I may not agree with your views but I defend your right to say them springs to mind, as distasteful as some may find her.

Nobody told her she couldn't say them. Lbc just didn't want to pay her for them.

She may use colourful language at times but she is saying what lots of people are thinking... Apart from her 'final solution' comment there is little that can be argued against in her Manchester bombing piece for instance...

Agree with you......Great Britain was one of a few places, were you could stand on a street corner, and have the right to say what you felt....those days are long gone, only Muslim hate preachers are awarded that right now.
