Lucy Connelly has been freed on Licence from prison.
You will recall that she was sent down for a post she offered on Social Media, a right-wing backlash followed based on what they called 'free speech.'
This incident occurred because three young girls were killed in Southport. Social media went into overdrive blaming an immigrant for the murders. In fact it appears he had been living in the UK for some time, and had not come off a boat. Nevertheless, many encouraged hate against immigrants, a and the 'Farage Riots occurred because of his incitement, for which no action was taken, and yet many of his supporters went to jail.
As an aside, it would be interesting to know how many who went to jail actually had 'domestic violence' convictions?
At that time Lucy, married to a local councillor, posted this.
“Mass deportation now. Set fire to all the fucking hotels full of
the bastards for all I care. While you’re at it, take the treacherous
government and politicians with them. I feel physically sick
knowing what these families will now have to endure. If that
makes me racist, so be it.”
Lucy Connolly was arrested, charged and convicted. She was given 32 months in prison. Today, she was released early yet on licence. She made no comment.
Not unnaturally, she became a token of 'free speech' for the right wing.
'Free speech' for the right wing means 'free speech' for them to attack whom they like, usually immigrants blacks, Pakistanis, etc, yet they block you on social media when you indicate faults with their reasoning. Maybe 'free speech' is not what they really wish for?
Many from the Conservative Party and Reform, not that there is much difference today, offered her support, or at least made use of her for their own sakes, grumbling about 'two tier justice.' What they really mean is, lock that lot up, not us.' Politicians making use of this woman, amongst others, for their own advantage ought to be locked up themselves. They care nothing for the people, all is for their advancement.
We all have a right to our opinions, and they differ widely today. However, there is a manner in which that opinion is expressed, depending on the time and the circumstances, that must be taken into account. Calling for hotels full of people to be set on fire does not reflect thoughtful free speech.
The point is not that this woman went to prison, the point is why do leading inciters, such as Farage and Robinson, avoid prison? Who enables them to avoid prosecution, who is protecting them?
Talking off shit-stirring rabble rousers, take a look at Robert Jenrick, he of the absurd PR stunts. Today he is up a pole flying a flag. He was doing this he said to 'oppose Britain hating councils.' This because right wing dafties have been erecting St George's flags in several towns and cities to reflect their nation and their craven stupidity in following this anti-migrant flow. St George as you know came from Cappadocia and his knowledge of an England that did not exist during his time was limited. His opinion on the closed minds flying flags will be the same as yours.
It is noticeable that those flying flags chose the England flag, the St George's one. It is also noticeable that Jenrick is flying the union flag, a flag rejected by the majority of Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish, and misunderstood, it is usually flown upside down, by most English. Why did Jenrick do this? He will have had no idea, a flag is just a flag to him, the cheap publicity is what matters.
So far, social media response was not enthusiastic in his favour.
