Katie Hopkins' colleagues CHEERED after she'd been 'sacked'

[Niamh.]

Social media is divided over the alleged sacking of Katie Hopkins from LBC.

But, according to one BBC journalist, her former colleagues at the radio station erupted into "massive cheers" after receiving an email confirming the news.

Gloating via Twitter, the corporation's media editor, Amol Rajan, wrote: "Am very reliably told there were massive cheers + applause in LBC newsroom when staff received email about Hopkins".

His message was liked and re-tweeted by hundreds of people, who delighted in his apparent joy at the 42 year-old's departure.

Several hours earlier Rajan also claimed he had the "scoop", but was able to substantiate it to his editor's standards.

"I had Katie Hopkins scoop yesterday. Phoned LBC. Useless response. Needed 2nd source. BBC rules mean I couldn't do it. One of those things."

However, while many followers shared his delight, others were more critical. One wrote: "Because they [LBC], like the BBC are appeasing cowards who are afraid of the truth and can't handle someone telling the truth."

Another said: "Well they won't have an audience soon," while a third chimed in: "Striking her down just makes her stronger."

A fourth waded into the fray, saying: "The religious ideology that killed these people with bombs and nails is "hate" [not Hopkins]. It's sad you are oblivious to the difference."

"I meant we need a lasting solution. A resolution" - Katie Hopkins clarifies THAT tweet calling for a "final solution" to Islamic terror

The decision to discontinue Hopkins' affiliation comes in the same week that she called for a "final solution" to Islamic extremism, following the Manchester attack on Monday evening.

The sickening attack saw 22 people killed and dozens injured after a suicide bomber detonated a device as concert-goers left the Manchester Arena.

Some social media users are already suggesting Hopkins will next score a lucrative contract from Fox News.

America can have her, just as long as they promise to keep her.

[Lostie!]

her former colleagues at the radio station erupted into "massive cheers" after receiving an email confirming the news.

But why would they do that when she's such a lovely person in reality and only playing up to the loathsome twat role in public? I just don't get it :think:

[Braden]

As BB6's Saskia said, " GO TO ****ING AMERICA! WE. DON'T. GIVE. A. ****."

[UserSince2005]

horrid people, taking glee in someone's misfortune.

[T*]

The Sun will still find her because they're trash

hey, that's their right to free speech, stop trying to silence them :hee:

Us when Marsh gets banned?

[Amy Jade]

My thoughts on Hopkins aside that is very unproffesional to tweet that staff cheered as someone being sacked.

Even if they did cheer why broadcast it?

[Epic.]

Wait, isn't that what she does on a regular basis?

[Rob!]

Us when Marsh gets banned?

:joker:

Tbh I expect it's the fact that the horrible troll has been the voice of their radio station. I'd cheer too. It's hardly the reputation the company would want to keep.

[Jason.]

I don't get why people still give her the time of day, yet alone a platform to spew her bile from? Her act wore thin about five years ago.

[Deirdre]

I don't understand what was wrong with her comment?

[JTM45]

I don't understand what was wrong with her comment?

Really ? :conf:

She said what was needed to deal with muslims was a ''final solution''.

Those were the words that the Nazi Party infamously adopted to describe their persecution and eventual annhialation/murder/'ethnic cleansing' of millions of Jews.

She did backtrack and edit her vile post but you can't take back a heinous, disgusting post like that. Hopkins, if nothing else, is an educated woman and there's absolutely no chance that she didn't know the significance of those words when she posted them.

Her removal is long overdue. Why anyone ever gave her the time of day is beyond me. Good riddance to bad rubbish!!!

Like you say, she's an educated woman. She wouldn't reference the Final Solution and think it would be ok. I believe she just used an unfortunate phrase.

amercians are our allies not our enemy :joker:

That's the point though; as an educated woman, we have to assume that she knew EXACTLY what she was saying. She's now trying to backtrack and claim that she had no idea that "final solution" was a loaded phrase to use. She's a liar. She was trying to be deliberately controversial - as usual - and took it too far.

[Kizzy]

I'm going to say something and it's a tad out there, but I'd say her views are due to her brain injury, she has no empathy and no filter, she hates compliments and any form of sentiment.

[JTM45]

amercians are our allies not our enemy :joker:

It's a shame their 'great leader' The Orange Cheeto doesn't feel that way then isn't it!

[King Gizzard]

I think she knew what she was saying but left enough leeway for her to get away with the ''I didn't mean that'' excuse

[Marsh.]

Us when Marsh gets banned?

:joker:

[DemolitionRed]

I agree with Kizzy, she's an out and out sociopath and I wouldn't want to know anyone who supports her.

[JTM45]

So what was she thinking when she called for military gunships to be used on terrified and over-crowded refugee boats stranded in the meditteranean?
Also, around the time that there were dead refugee children washing up on european beaches after their boats had sunk, she referred to the children as 'cockroaches'.

It's ridiculous that anyone is still trying to make excuses for the disguting behaviour of this vile, disgusting excuse for a woman.
No doubt there will always be a job for her at one of those poor excuses for 'news' papers though. At least that means that no decent person will ever have to be exposed to her tiny-minded hate-mongering drivel again!:yuk:

I don't like the woman but at least we aren't living in fear because of her. She isn't murdering children and planning to murder others unlike many of the people and their descendants that we so casually allowed into the West - people hell bent on biting the hand that feeds them and we like the mugs we are welcomed them with open arms. And for what - to feed our inflated PC egos and belief we are bigger than them. Well that was worth it then.

You really have no clue what you're talking about. You're so caught up in your own hateful agenda that you can't see the most basic things for what they are.

''Feed our inflated PC egos''..............what an absolutely laughable statement.:bored:
As far back as we have records good, decent, un-selfish people have always strived to help those less fortunate than themselves, nothing to do with being ''PC'' or a desire to feed our own egos.
It really says far more about you that this is how you see things and it's quite pitiful. Poor you.

Speaking of hate maybe you should direct that at those that really do hate and it isn't me, or even Hopkins come to that. That brand of hate is actually killing people. That is what is pitiful.

Poor us more like - the victims of PC and its out of control ego.

What did i say that was 'hateful' towards you ?

All you post is hate-mongering, anti-muslim, anti-immigrant, xenophobic, non-factual rants and propoganda and it's making what was once a great section in this forum increasingly difficult to spend time in.

Oh just another attempt at shutting down opinion then. My post is anti-immigration policies that put us all at risk and the PC culture that put us all in that situation. We had no choice - others decided this important issue for us - where is the fairness, the democracy and the human decency in that.

Just the usual hateful allegations to attempt to shut down opinions you don't share. That is exactly the problem. Only one side of this important issue wants to be heard. That side wants the rest to just put up and shut up! Not on your Nellie!

People are living in fear because of people like her and her rhetoric of marauding hordes, the whole reason she was sacked is due to the fact she was inciting murder.

Biting the hand that feeds them, we haven't fed many refugees have we?
All we have done for decades is stomp around several countries indiscriminately dropping drones, killing more civilians than ISIS fighters.

I appreciate that today that may be a popular view, before it is seized on I would like to say it in no way diminishes the sympathy I have for the
victims.
