Katie Hopkins Fired From Exeter Newspaper
Katie Hopkins has been fired for the second time this year. Katie was the villain of this years Apprentice TV show on BBC One, but soon after leaving the show, was fired from her job in the Met Office.
Now it appears she has gotten the sack again, this time from her column in the Exeter Express and Echo. The editor took a poll from the readers, and they voted overwhelmingly to get rid of Mrs Nasty. 341 people voted for her to be fired, while only 66 wanted her to stay.
She told the Daily Mail: “People are always quick to knock those who are successful. Those who are in opposition are always more ready to make their voices heard than those in support.
“I’m glad I had the moral courage to put myself up there and I will continue to do so. If people would rather read about jumble sales and village fetes instead of what I’ve got to say, that’s their choice.”
The newspaper’s editor Marc Astley commented: “It was my decision to hire Katie and I do not regret that. I did not always agree with what she wrote but neither do I agree with many of the letters we publish.
“The result of the vote is unequivocal and so, true to my word, her column will appear no more.”
