With an interesting choice of words
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Katie Hopkins appears to have responded on Twitter to her exit from LBC.
"When life gives you lemons, make .....an angry face and tell it to stop being such a t**t," she wrote (sic), a sentence which, however I try to parse it, seems to amount to her calling her own life - and therefore herself - a t**t.
LBC announced that it was parting ways with Hopkins "effective immediately" on Friday morning, following controversy over her suggestion that the current UK terror situation be addressed with a "final solution".
In the few hours that have passed since the LBC news, Hopkins has drawn attention to her other work on MailOnline and Fox News, and teased cryptically: "Super exciting announcement next week. Will keep you posted."
A controversial tweet even by Hopkins' standards, her since-deleted, 23 May post appeared to call for genocide, her use of "final solution" presumably referring to the Nazis' plan to murder all Jews within reach.
"22 dead - number rising," she wrote on 23 May. "Schofield. Don't you even dare. Do not be a part of the problem. We need a final solution #Machester."
