No channel/radio station is gonna be seen to defend someone that wants to genocide a group of people.

Speaking your mind is one thing, but being completely stupid is another, and she fell into the latter here.

I doubt mum or dad would be in a position of such influence, and so on one hand who cares?... On another, imagine you were an employer and your employees were damaging your business with their comments that are counter to yours?

Well to be frank, aside from deliberate controversial comments, I actually don't think she was very competent behind the mic.

Sounded very amateurish and she found it hard to have an in depth conversation with anyone. Also lacked the general knowledge and political know-how of most talk show hosts.

That said, Hopkins made Bev Turner seem like Jonathan Dimbleby!

How Be has hung onto her job at LBC is a complete mystery. Sounds like a Blue Peter presenter, and is thick as two short planks.

But the better question is, were you one of those people?
Well you can't go around inciting murder and then expect to keep your job like nothing has happened, so it's better they lose their job than face a much servere punishment of going to Prison.

Although Hopkins wishing genocide on a whole group of people is alot worse than wishing murder on one individual, both are bad, but the Hopkins one is worse.

I don't think it has anything to do with business, Katie is quite popular. No! this is political.

Katie is very controversial so she does have to be careful not to cross the line.
