Katie Hopkins, Conservative Provocateur, to Leave Radio Show After Tweet

LONDON — An outspoken commentator who gained fame after appearing on “The Apprentice” will be leaving her job at the radio station LBC after a post on social media about the recent attack in Manchester.

The commentator, Katie Hopkins, a conservative provocateur in the mold of Ann Coulter, is to step down after calling on Twitter for a “final solution” to the terrorism problem, which some had interpreted as a call for genocide, echoing the Nazi euphemism for the Holocaust.

The post was later changed so that it read “true solution” rather than “final solution.”

Ms. Hopkins, who is a graduate of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, according to her website, joined LBC about a year ago to host a Sunday talk show. LBC declined to comment on the arrangement, saying only that “LBC and Katie Hopkins have agreed that Katie will leave LBC effective immediately.”

The announcement was met with “massive cheers” from the staff at LBC, Amol Rajan, the BBC’s media editor, reported.

A spokesman for Ms. Hopkins declined to comment.

This is not the first time she has stirred controversy after a terrorist attack. After the Brussels attack in 2016 she wrote on Twitter that the city was “Seen as the heart of Europe, it is now jihadi central,” and said that “Merkel — and her ilk — blew up Brussels.”

Her writing has created trouble for her other employer, The Daily Mail, where she writes a column. The midmarket tabloid had to apologize and pay damages to a family after she suggested they were extremists with links to Al Qaeda.

She is rarely restrained in her criticisms and comments, with few topics off limits.

“Katie brings her unique take on the day’s news and shares her honest views,” reads her website.

She railed against political correctness when defending a Nobel laureate, Tim Hunt, for his comments on girls crying when they are criticized.

“Feminists can go and do one as far as I’m concerned,” Ms. Hopkins exclaimed, using a British expression meaning, roughly, “just go away.”

She argued on the BBC show “Question Time” that women who want equal treatment instead want special treatment. “I think women actually don’t want equal treatment,” she said. “They couldn’t handle it if they got it, quite a number of them.”

Before her departure from LBC Radio, a petition had already been started asking the station to fire her after she posted an image of the Netflix series “Dear White People,” saying, “Dear black people. If your lives matter why do you stab and shoot each other so much.”

Many on Twitter were celebrating her departure from the station.

Owen Jones, a socialist columnist for the Guardian, wrote, “I’ve been accused of gloating over Katie Hopkins’ sacking. So let me clear: I am absolutely gloating over Katie Hopkins’ sacking.”

The comedian Russell Brand called the move a “small, moral victory.”

Although she did not mention LBC directly, Ms. Hopkins maintained an upbeat tone on Twitter.

“Looking forward to joining @FoxNews later to update on the rancid speech of terrorist-sympathiser Corbyn and why Britain need Trump,” she wrote, referring to Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of Britain’s Labour Party, who had just given a speech calling the war on terror a failure.
