The controversial columnist and former radio presenter Katie Hopkins has left the tabloid The Daily Mail days after footage emerged of her giving an anti-Muslim speech at a far right meeting in Florida.
Hopkins has been no stranger to stirring up hate in the past, having been criticised for her stance on multiple subjects, including having recently called for a 'final solution' for the Muslim community.
After footage emerged of Hopkins speaking at an event organised by David Horowitz Freedom Centre, an American far right think-tank and anti-Muslim organisation.
During the speech Hopkins told the audience that it was 'our time', and encouraged those in attendance to arm themselves with 'the help of the NRA'. She also went on to tell them that she had been reported to the police for hate crimes and inciting violence, before going on to tell them that parts of the UK were run by 'Muslim mafia', and that there is 'institutionalised discrimination against whites' across Britain.
Today, a Daily Mail spokesperson said that Hopkins' employment with them had been 'ended by mutual consent'. This follows Hopkins losing her position at the radio station LBC in May for a tweet that called for Muslim deaths.
Interestingly, Hopkins also appears to have deleted all of her tweets on the social media site Twitter.
