Remember when Katie Hopkins wasn’t a notorious radical hate preacher and was just that mean lady on The Apprentice who resigned from the show?
Well, let’s cast our minds back to that time, in the heady days of 2006, when the nation sighed in frustration as the grand high angry bear Alan Sugar was denied his chance to point at her and growl “You’re Fired!”
For we have at last been given what we have been waiting for over a decade.
Katie Hopkins has, finally, been fired.
OK, apparently it was mutual. She and the radio station that employs her for realtime weekly bile spews a live show, LBC, have parted ways:
LBC and Katie Hopkins have agreed that Katie will leave LBC effective immediately.

According to the BBC’s media editor, there were “cheers and applause” in the LBC newsroom when the decision was announced.
Am very reliably told there were massive cheers + applause in @LBC newsroom when staff received email about Hopkins https://t.co/F1D8fAtWZ3

This follows Hopkins tweeting (and then deleting) that there needed to be a “final solution” following the Manchester terrorist attack. It seems LBC has found its own solution to the backlash against Hopkins.
