Katie Hopkins is to leave LBC Radio 'immediately' just days after her controversial comments regarding the Manchester bombing.
The radio station and Katie 'have agreed' that she should leave.
Hmm. Is that a sacking?
Her controversial Tweet ruffled quite a few feathers when she wrote: "22 dead - number rising. Schofield. Don't you even dare. Do not be part of the problem. We need a final solution. #Machester."
She deleted the Tweet, replacing 'final' with 'true' and also changed the spelling of 'Machester' to the correct 'Manchester'.

Many were quick to criticise her comments, with some even saying that it was hinting at 'ethnic cleansing' or a modern-day Holocaust.
As much as this sounds a bit over the top, back in January 1942, at the Wansee Conference which was attended by many Nazi members, a decision was taken for a 'Final Solution to the Jewish Problem'.
What followed was the horrific atrocities at Auschwitz and other similar places.
Karen Pollock, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, told Jewish News: "Katie Hopkins' comment on Twitter yesterday about 'a final solution' - a clear invoking of Holocaust language - was hugely offensive. This really is a new low, particularly at such a fragile time."
After the criticism, Hopkins implied that she'd only deleted the Tweet because of the misspelling of the city's name. She said: "I stand by my tweet. I find the typo disrespectful to the survivors of Manchester."

The news has divided the nation. Many are praising LBC's decision, while others have condemned it.
This decision has certainly split the public, but what do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
