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."
