she needs to be in a 6ft box, not a 'news'paper.

Poor Hopkins.....she truly deserves our sympathy, I wonder what could possibly have brought this on?, she was always so nice to all on her show.

I was a excited when I read "Katie Hopkins to leave" but then disappointed when it wasn't "the country for good".

I believe it may have something to do with a tweet about the Manchester situation that stated there must be a "final solution" to the problem.

What's the world coming to when a professional shitehawk can't even advocate genocide without being censored by the liberal MSM?

She just needs to be ignored. Giving her press coverage / an audience just feeds the bile machine.

Brilliant!

Can we get everyone who says something we don't like the sack now?

No. Because we'd have to fire the ebike loving editorial team. And they seem quite nice.

Did "we" get her the sack? Well done us, I thought she'd managed it all by herself.

yep.

commercial organisations protect their brand.

Jack Monroe tweeted she was told by LBC Hopkins would be sacked after the court case but a decent interval would be left. Clearly the final solution tweet pushed them to go ahead.

Hopkins has a right to speak (within the law), not the right to be provided a platform to broadcast what she says from.

But when does the "right to speak" cross over to "inciting hatred" on purpose? i think she may have crossed the line on a number of occasions and just gives one of many reasons not to buy Daily Mail

When she's prosecuted for a criminal offence of such?

Excellent article on it here;

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/may/23/manchester-rule-of-law-apply-everyone-hate-peddlers-katie-hopkins?CMP=fb_gu

I was of the "just ignore" Hopkins/Morgan/etc opinion but this changed my mind. So yeah, hang 'em! That'll learn 'em.

The twitter storm is brilliant, full of "We need more people like Katie" nobbers.

[i]full of "We need more people like Katie" nobbers. [/i]

Here's the thing - she articulates what a sizeable minority of the population actually think.

They feel stifled by a lot of 'liberal mainstream media' (regardless of ownership/political allegiance) and people like Hopkins and Farage give them a voice.

We might not like what she said but it reflected more than just her opinion. It's why the Mail are prepared to (for now) stick with her and keep paying the court damages and costs.

To anyone that can't stand her, please just ignore her. She might go away.

Whenever the POS opens her mouth.

The right to free expression [i]is not[/i] an absolute right. If I was with the DPP, I'd have had the cow arrested years ago.

Here's the thing - she articulates what a sizeable minority of the population actually think.

So what? A sizeable minority of the population are knuckle-dragging, brain-dead racists who blame easy targets for their own inadequacies, and her crap fuels the bigotry flames.

keithr - I meant that she's not operating out of a vacuum - I think she should be taken off air/out of print at the earliest opportunity but was responing to the twitter comment about support for her. It's out there and those people will vote (and did, for Brexit) for those they feel give them a voice because they feel they don't have one now. It's what Trump relied on.

When it's pig-ignorant, knee-jerk, rabble-rousing excrement of the sort that routinely gushes out of her, I sure hope so.

I'll say it again: freedom of speech [i]is not an absolute right[/i], and her game is (frequently racial) incitement, which is against the law.

I know - but having an audience doesn't give her a right to come out with the crap she interminably spouts.

I refer you to my earlier comment:

she shouldn't be gagged but she should be held accountable in law and commercial organisation made to realise the commercial price they may pay for giving her a platform. Right wing tv and radio stations in the states are struggling as advertisers are targeted and pull revenue out of them.

No, not **completely** full, but undeniably a sizeable minority exists.

she articulates sod all and speaks for no one. Don't dress her up as some right wing social commentator.

She has no agenda, no ideology, no politics other than self promotion. never has.

She just takes contrary and sometimes (well often) offensive opinions on anything and everything just for self promotion. She has been a useful generator of clicks for a range of employers but there is only so long she can be useful for. there is probably a random Katie Hopkins opinion generator somewhere on the web these days.

So if its against the law, why don't we prosecute her - hell, you could even crowdfund a private prosecution, instead of resorting to extra-judicial sackings?

Though you need to remember that there may a difference between "in your opinion" and "in the opinion of twelve impartial observers forming a jury"

I stand by that statement, I don't give AF frankly. I'll offer to kick the chair away if you hold the camera.

For those who oppose Katie Hopkins you seem to enjoy reading her views so much so you understand everything about her ... 😯

I don't even know that much about her apart from Apprentice ... 😮

Nope - but just like any other kind of turd, occasionally (like now) she floats up into everyone's view whether we like it or not...

..what about the opinion of the people who pay her wages who think that her continued employment represents a threat to their income because of the opinions of LBC's target market?

Not sure if I'm supposed to feel bad about that.

But I [i]surely[/i] don't...

Always good to have the support of your colleagues;
"After Hopkins made the comments, another LBC presenter, James O'Brien, described on air the "shame" he felt about sharing a platform with her.
He called Hopkins "a monstrous self-publicist" who "employs the most vile of thoughts and language in a desperate attempt to stay relevant and get noticed".
