Mother jailed for social media post ‘blocked from seeing daughter’

[Cherie]

Prison bosses have been criticised for denying a mother jailed over last summer’s riots the right to spend temporary leave at home with her daughter and sick husband.

Lucy Connolly, who was imprisoned for 31 months for inciting racial hatred in a tweet, has been forced to wait four months in her attempts to secure release on temporary licence, despite being described by one prison expert as an “ideal candidate” for such home leave.

Documents seen by The Telegraph suggest that the 42-year-old childminder from Northampton has not yet been granted the leave amid concerns over public and media interest in her case rather than any apparent failure to meet the criteria for temporary release.

In her appeal, Connolly cited a deterioration in her 12-year-old daughter’s school behaviour, which is “totally out of character”, and the stress being placed on her sick husband, Ray, a Tory councillor who is suffering from bone marrow failure.

Connolly was arrested after posting on X hours after the Southport killings. She spoke of mass deportations and setting fire to asylum hotels “for all I care”.

She added: “I feel physically sick knowing what these [Southport] families will now have to endure. If that makes me racist so be it.”

Connolly took the post down within four hours, but not before it had been viewed 310,000 times and screenshots taken. She was interviewed by police on Aug 6 and charged three days later. She has been in jail since, having pleaded guilty and then sentenced in October.

She has been eligible for release on temporary licence since last November, based on her prison time served. This form of release is open to inmates as a way to “rebuild family ties” and allows for up to two overnight home stays a month.

The only offenders excluded under prison rules include category A prisoners, many serving time for violent, terrorist and sexual crimes, those formally listed as escape risks, and suspects facing extradition.

Asked to assess the process, Ian Acheson, a former prison governor who has advised the Government on extremism in jails, said: “The apparent foot-dragging over consideration for release on temporary licence is concerning.

“It can’t be right that someone who is otherwise eligible is not being considered because of either the prison’s failure to properly risk assess or her ‘notoriety’. It would be perfectly possible for prison authorities to set conditions that precludes any media exposure.

“In my opinion, and given the offence details and the background to her custodial behaviour I have seen, she ought to be an ideal candidate for early release to allow her reintegration to start. Many more risky individuals are walking free as a result of Labour’s emergency mass release legislation.”

‘Victim of two-tier justice’
Richard Tice, the deputy leader of Reform UK, said: “Lucy is the victim of two-tier justice because she is white and Sir Keir Starmer ordered the judiciary to impose stiff sentences last August. It is as simple as that.

“She should be released. Real criminals convicted of violent crimes are being let out while she is detained.”

Prison service sources denied that Connolly’s application for release on temporary licence had been blocked and said it was being considered by the governor at HMP Drake Hall in Staffordshire, to which Connolly has recently been transferred.

A spokesman said: “Decisions on release on temporary licence and home detention curfew are made following uncompromising risk assessments to prioritise public safety.

“These are discretionary schemes, and each case is rigorously scrutinised, considering the severity of the offence, the prisoner’s conduct and the potential impact on victims and the community.”


This seems particularly harsh given her husband is ill? and has Ricky Jones served any time yet? As I understand it his case wont be heard until September

The Telegraph

nope good old Ricky is still walking the streets

everyone just wants the system to be fair and equally applied to all.

[Kate!]

This is just awful.

[Cherie]

yet we have guys like this let out to make more room...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03/28/liam-matthews-manslaughter-prisoner-release-keir-starmer/?msockid=26aeb14bcc4b

A prisoner who was freed as part of Sir Keir Starmer’s controversial prison scheme killed someone on the same day he was released.

Liam Matthews, 26, left HMP Holme House in Stockton-on-Tees, Durham, just hours before the “brutal” knife attack.

Father-of-one Lewis Bell, 26, was hunted down “like prey” by Matthews, Ashton White, 18, and Sean McLeod, 23, over a drug dispute, a court heard.

After a trial at Teesside Crown Court, Matthews and White were convicted of his manslaughter, and McLeod of his murder.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has since insisted it had “no choice” but to implement the emergency early release programme.

In June last year, Matthews was jailed for 22 months at the same court for violent disorder after kicking and stamping on his victim in a street fight.

However, he was released early as part of Labour’s plan to free up space amid a boom in prison population during the first month of the emergency measures.

After his release on the morning of Sept 18, Matthews was involved in the fatal knife attack, which resulted in Mr Bell being left to die in the street.

Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary, said: “This tragic death was preventable.

“Prisoners sentenced for violent offences obviously shouldn’t be let out early.

“The Justice Secretary’s plans to let out more serious offenders are a very real risk to the public. She must think again.

“Instead, the Government need to deport more foreign nationals offenders clogging up cells and reduce the remand population in prison by speeding up trials.”61053e01a075cdab6040

Now lets get this straight, the woman got 31 months for a social media post, but he got 22 months for stamping and kicking a man....but we dont have a two tier justice system...got it

Woman who called for mass murder based on racism, aka, terrorism, isn’t let out of prison to tell her daughter off for not focusing on school, shocking

[Mystic Mock]

Tbf even the article said that she made a tweet talking about how she doesn't care if one of the Hotels that hold a lot of immigrants caught fire, that's against the law to tweet stuff like that out and rightly so too.

She should've thought about her family before making the tweet.

The only people that deserve leniency with threatening Social Media posts are kids imo.

[Livia]

White woman jailed for hurty words on the internet denied the right to see her husband and kids. Meanwhile, Asian paedophile given the right to remain here because it would be unnecessarily cruel to his kids to deport him.

And people wonder why Reform is ahead in the polls.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Ray Connolly knew how easily his wife was triggered by the suffering and death of children. He says she was always writing to MPs and to the papers if there was ever a case of neglect or kids being harmed on the news. In 2011, the Connollys lost their firstborn, Harry, aged 19 months as a result of atrocious failures in NHS care. After multiple hospital visits, and Lucy pleading with a paediatrician to put the listless toddler on a drip, the Connollys took Harry home and laid him in a cot by their bed. They woke at 4am to find the lifeless body of their tiny son. Lucy screamed at Ray to do CPR while she called an ambulance and Ray, who is an immensely practical chap, best person in a crisis, did his best. “But rigor mortis had already set in,” he tells me, the horror of that moment never to be extinguished.

There followed a bruising battle to “get justice for Harry”. Although the coroner found a catalogue of catastrophic failures at the hospital, it was not ruled to have committed gross negligence manslaughter as Harry’s devastated parents had wanted. (“Those doctors have got away with killing my son,” Lucy said.) The Connollys went on to have a “rainbow baby”, two years later, a daughter called Holly*, now aged 12, but Lucy, who received a diagnosis of PTSD after she lost her baby, never truly recovered. Hearing about a mass stabbing of little girls in Southport was enough to tip her over the edge.

When Ray got home that day, he found her in the kitchen with the six toddlers she looked after. “Lucy was crying.” In the absence of any clear information from the authorities about the killer’s identity (Rudakubana was initially described to a disbelieving public only as a Cardiff-born choirboy) and with Merseyside police and Government ministers still insisting the massacre was “not terror-related” the situation on social media was extremely volatile. There was widespread anger that such a monstrous attack had been targeted at the most vulnerable members of our society. That was the state Lucy Connolly was in when she posted the fifty-one words that would ruin her life for a second time, and turn her into the ideal poster girl for Starmer’s pledge to impose heavy sentences on “far-Right thugs”.

Ray knew nothing about the tweet until the police turned up at the house and took his wife away. It was around 8am and all of the infants Lucy looked after were being dropped off for the day by their parents. (Mrs Connolly’s precious charges have included Nigerian, Somalian, Jamaican, Bangladeshi, Lithuanian and Polish, as well as white British, kids. “It’s like the blimmin’ United Nations in here,” the childminder used to joke.) Lucy went with the police “quiet as a lamb, she thought if she did as she was told everything would be fine,” recalls Ray.

I ask him if he ever thought the family’s tragic history and his wife’s mental distress would help Lucy with her case. He shakes his head. “I knew things were bad when Starmer and the Home Office started going on about the ‘far-Right’, they obviously had an agenda.” Over the next few days, Lucy Connolly ceased to be a person and became a demonised figure stripped of nuance and humanity. “Conservative councillor’s racist wife.” That was her name from now on.

Looking back, we can see how it was expedient for panicking politicians to blame social media for civil unrest rather than acknowledge the growing anxiety about uncontrolled immigration that fuelled the rioting. (That would have meant officialdom shouldering some of the blame.) While social media can amplify content that inflames tensions there is little or no evidence that a single post persuades law-abiding people to engage in violent protest.

Shocking

[Ammi]

…I think for me, I’m finding stories such as this to be quite ‘manipulated’ by all media sources so it’s difficult to know the actual truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth…I read another article, I think it was the Daily Mail that said that the process was happening of Lucy Connolly being given home visits and that it was all going through certain risk assessment stages atm…(…but I don’t know if a delay I’d being furthered by a transfer of prison, which has happened apparently…)…I also read that her solicitor is appealing for a full release for her prison time …so if that’s going through as well, it could be something that’s happening fairly soon and therefore possibly holding up any ‘family visitation’ in favour of a full release….all of these things happening could be causing a delay…I don’t know, because I don’t know the specifics and the information we get from all media sources is so manipulated to agendas…and in itself to ‘incite and encourage divide’….

[bots]

it's becoming more and more obvious that nearly every news story is a manipulation. The media, and i mean all media, know that the best engagement comes from making the reader angry, so thats what they do and their viewership fall for it every time

…yeah it’s kind of become a bit ‘boy who cried wolf’ in terms of media but I think that applies to social media as well and there possibly is some truth in there in some articles but it’s checking it all out and trying to find it…‘sensationalising’ a story and manipulating it is just so commonplace now to the point of becoming what we’ve come to expect and what often arrives…I guess a parallel could be used of there being power in the words that resulted in the conviction in the first place…?…there is power in the sensationalisation of a story../…not so much power in the truth …

Its interesting that no one (that i can gather) has been jailed for taking to the streets and shouting that they want a violent ethnic cleansing of Israel week after week (as well as using slitting throat gestures and placards)

Your narrow, woke view is sickening. You - and others on here - have nothing to say about Muslims, and it is mostly Muslims, who rape and sexually assault women and children and face no punishment at all because females are worth nothing in their medieval culture. Actual crimes, not just words in the ether. And these same rapists and paedos would cheerfully chuck you, all your gay friends and every transsexual they came across off a roof. But hey... You carry on because you hardly look mad at all.

Also, ignore the fact this woman has cared for children from countries all over the world because it doesn't fit your twisted, hateful agenda.

Still waiting for Liam to say what he thinks about Ricky Jones who is still walking the streets after inciting a crowd to cut peoples throats, I guess that is okay as he is Brown and a Counciller, 31 months for a tweet which she took down is pretty scandalous, men get less for rape and domestic assault

We know better so we do better, if an individual commits a crime it doesn't mean we should sink to their level and wish the same or worse on anyone with something in common with them.

[user104658]

No it isn't. Not a debate really, it just factually isn't. As a mostly white country, most men who sexually assault women are (unsurprisingly) white, by a very, very large margin. Ludicrous claim. I couldn't give you the stats pro rata, but as a claim on the face of it, to say that it's "mostly Muslims" is wild. UK-wide it's 85%+ white, in Scotland it's closer to 95% white.

98%+ male of course every ethnicity has that in common.

[edit] Here's some actual England and Wales stats (2022-2023) for offenses against children under 16 - I couldn't find stats for overall (quickly).

Defendants processed against for child sexual abuse offence
White 88%
White British 83%
White Irish 0% 1%
Any other white background 4%
Asian 7%
Indian 1%
Pakistani 2%
Bangladeshi 1%
Chinese 0%
Any other Asian Background 2%
Black 3%
African 1%
Caribbean 1%
Mixed or multiple 2%
White and Asian 0% 1%
White and black African 0%
White and black Caribbean 0%
Any other mixed background 1%
Any other ethnic background 1%

(0% of course doesn't mean zero, just less than 1%)

[user104658]

Actually... 82% of England and Wales is white and 88% of child sexual offenses are from White people, which (in absence of other data) would indicate that most paedos are white both by number AND pro rata proportion. Welp.

Do you have stats on the numbers involved and how many were brought to justice?

[user104658]

Livia was referring to the rape gangs that blight most northern English cities.

Far too few brought to justice but that's the case with all sexual crime; white men get away with it too (constantly). In terms of grooming gangs I believe off the top of my head 70% are white and the rest "other than white", there is a specific issue with Pakistani grooming gangs but it's still less than 10% of total grooming gangs/sex trafficking rings. Proportionately in the specific case of gangs, yes it is a higher proportion that are non-white and specifically Pakistani, but likewise, the proportion of "lone male" offenders who target family members, and institutional abuse ("priests and sports coaches", to put that simply) is higher, so... despicable swings and roundabouts, isn't it?

We can definitely all agree that the inability to bring people to justice for these crimes is a massive issue though, yes.

That's the thing - it is ridiculous if people would condemn the incitement on SoMed but then ignore this blatant threat from the labour chap but it's constantly used to deflect... I don't think there are all that many people who actually think that's fine. Yes, the guy who said "slit their throats" should be arrested and charged. And so should the SoMed riot encourages.

I think it's used the other way round as an argument that the racist Social media grannies should be left in peace. Nah. Charge 'em all, on all "sides".

Age is a mindset not a number Cherie - anyone who is mouthing off on Facebook or X is a boomer/oldie, let's face it, be they 70 or 17.

Anyway -- I wasn't saying that you have an issue with people being charged for this sort of thing, but a LOT of people do, and it's incredibly common to see people say "oh year but what aboutttt ____ who did _____?!?" in response to any mention of people being charged for insighting riots - with the implication being that these are the "real" crimes that should be tackled while X incitement to violence is "just freedom of speech".

The Americanised media is partially to blame because people (entirely incorrectly) believe that UK freedom of speech laws and US freedom of speech laws are or should be the same, or that any variation of freedom of expression law that deviates from the US "more or less anything goes" stance is "not freedom/not free speech". Just US-centric nonsense like almost everything else these days. We have undeniably better freedom of speech laws than they do stateside. I can agree that they're lenient on some people with them for clearly political reasons - but that really is a separate issue... it's not an argument that aggressive social media chatter should be seen as acceptable.

TiBB has suffered similarly in recent years. Things people were banned for a few years ago fly quite freely (rampant racism, homophobia, misogyny) while the "don't talk about other members" is treated like dogma. IMO it's partly because of that "people can say whatever they want and it's actually wrong to tell them that it's wrong" mindset that's rooted in American freedom-ideals (bad ones) and has spread outwards from there.

Off on a tangent a bit but yeah. That's why people in the UK are "confused" that they can't say whatever they want on Social Media and not be arrested for it. And why so many think Trump is their president I guess :think:.

[user104658]

To address the comment in general though - anyone in 2025 who wants to be politically or socially aware, or have any hope of piecing together the nonsense that's going on in the world, has to be aware of SoMed trends particularly Facebook and X. I don't engage with or post on them or have active accounts, because they are an absolute cess pit of the worst/dumbest of human nature.

That's the thing - it is ridiculous if people would condemn the incitement on SoMed but then ignore this blatant threat from the labour chap but it's constantly used to deflect... I don't think there are all that many people who actually think that's fine. Yes, the guy who said "slit their throats" should be arrested and charged. And so should the SoMed riot encourages.

I think it's used the other way round as an argument that the racist Social media grannies should be left in peace. Nah. Charge 'em all, on all "sides".

Drug dealers is more debatable tbf, given what can happen to people that take Drugs.

But how's a regular thief worse than someone that's encouraging a group that she doesn't like, to be dead? I obviously don't approve of theft but it's not the same level as wanting a group of people to die.

When you pretend that there is something underhanded going on, rather than the perfectly reasonable truth, then that needs an explanation.

On reflection, maybe you've just been facebook brained, where labour is a bunch of commies (I wish) who get away with everything, as the law comes down hard on law abiding race baiting Galahads. This obsession with Ricky, definitely seems like a facebook, union jack, meme group thing.

The trial of a Labour councillor that was due to begin this week has been pushed back by almost seven months. Cllr Ricky Jones was filmed during last summer's riots making a cut throat gesture as he told a left-wing rally: "They are disgusting Nazi fascists and we need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all". Jones was later arrested and charged with encouraging violent disorder. He spent several weeks in custody before being released on bail.

Cllr Jones denies the charges and had been due to stand trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court in east London on Monday. However, the trial has been delayed until August 11 following an application to which the judge agreed. The reason for the application has not been made public.

In any civilized country, that is illegal to say.

And by incitement, I am on about the fact that she was potentially encouraging other people to potentially attack those Hotels.

[Mystic Mock]

She wasn’t irrational. She was racist.

Arguably being racist is being irrational.

[Ammi]

…in reading the court appeal transcript which gives the case a bit more clarity for me…it wasn’t just one tweet/tweets made over a few days and one of those also included the government/politicians in the ‘setting fire to…’ as well…and these tweets were made at a very volatile time when there was an extremely worrying ongoing situation not only happening but also escalating in towns…

…I do personally feel that there are multiple things with this case…I do now feel that the prison time should have been re-considered in the appeal now because there is no longer that ongoing situation and she doesn’t seem a ‘danger to the public’ she’s probably very much learned the power and weight of words and consequences…looking at the whole transcript it doesn’t feel to me that she had a very good legal representation who fully explained either about her plea and the full possible sentencing that could be given….unfortunately for Lucy, I think that she had already said that she would ‘play the card of mental health’ and she also made mention to the fact in her tweet(s) that she was in full knowledge that what she saying was very troublesome in terms of the law but she showed disregard for that…it’s a lot more detailed case than just ‘one tweet’ and even that one tweet is often not fully quoted by the media so far as the court transcript refers…but all in all, I don’t think now that it serves any purpose to not allow her out on an early release…I think with her family now is probably a much better place for ‘rehabilitation’….

[Ammi]

…I also feel that the welfare and wellbeing of Lucy’s child should be a huge consideration with the courts as well…the impact of words yes, needs to be considered but that’s already been done at a time when there was an ‘ongoing situation’…that isn’t the case anymore and this is just creating a whole negative mindset of a justice system for her child of a system that already is very damaged in the eyes of the public…it really does feel that the person who will suffer most through this prison confinement and have the most longer lasting damage will be Lucy’s daughter…

[joeysteele]

I agree.

The only thing I'll give her is she didn't hide her views, at least the public saw what and how she thought.

It's a pity she didn't think of her family when she purposely set out what she thought and what she'd like to see take place too.
I really hate any prejudice and people who are prejudiced.
Once I know they are, they are well out of my life.
Family, friend or even foe.
Some try to or do hide their prejudices, at least she revealed the horrible side she has and her prejudice against others.

The sentencing is a matter for the law and the court.
People cannot pick and choose what the result of committing crimes will be once charged and are guilty of the crime too.
To avoid lenient or not so lenient sentencing ALL that has to be done is not break the law in the first place.
Plus not incite others to do so too.
She chose to not avoid that.

the other difference between written word and spoken is that written word is premeditated whereas its often the case that spoken word is not. It's not easy to compare 1 offence with another because they will often be completely different under the hood

If people are going to be hit with the full force if the law, that law has to be seen to apply to everyone equally. Right now, it doesn't. It's a two tier system.

This woman's sentence was intentionally cruel and longer than a Pakistani man got for raping a child. I can't be the only person who thinks that is obscene.

It's all very well to be supportive of people's feelings but it doesn't work if only one section if society is protected.

1. I'll just say it, there are Paedophiles being protected by the justice system because there are Paedophiles high up within the UK Government and overall justice system. Obviously I don't know their names, but it's the reason why Paedophiles (regardless of race, sexuality, or Religion,) are getting such pathetically low sentences.

And 2. We do know that some parts of Labour have an Anti-Semitic issue due to their sympathies to Islam, they obviously need to address that problem I agree with you.

Lucy Connolly is a hero. She is you, she is me.
And, thank God, after 380 days in living hell, she is finally free.
I was the first to describe Lucy as Slippery Starmer's political prisoner.
At the time, the entire MSM - including the Mail, GB News and Talk TV - were horrendously deriding her as a "far right racist" and joining the pitch fork waving mob.
Like Epping, it's been the independent media - and the brilliant and brave @AllisonPearson - who has told her real story.
Now she becomes this authoritarian government's worst nightmare.

Why does someone having child make them immune to serving a certain jail sentence for committing a crime and admitting to it?

For the charges she pleaded guilty to carry a minimum sentence of 3 years. She got the shortest sentence she possibly could.

That's not how it happened..if she hadn't pled guilty she would have got 4.5 years...she pled guilty, bit the judge still started h8s sentencing at 4.5 years, then reduced for the guilty plea to 3.

He could have started at 3, then reduced for the guilty plea.

Actually no, I disagree.

What would have been good from her would have been to have considered her family FIRST and rather than have to delete a post she voluntary and planned to post, to have actually never posted such a worded post in the first place.

Because of that I have not a scrap of sympathy for her or liking of her, for the vile and despicable wording she used in her post.
What she stands for from her own inner prejudice.

It should be of no surprise that a creep like Dan Wootton would be supportive of her.

Wasn't she considering her dead child and how the nhs was complicit in its death when she made the tweet.

A natural action from a mother already let down by the state as she watches the Southport attack on all those other children that were also let down by the state, who had that evil bastard on its watchlists.

But Mrs Connolly said Mr Jones, who had walked free from court, had rightly
not deserved to go to jail either. She said: “I’m pleased that the justice system
did work for Ricky Jones and I’m glad that he was able to get bail and he was
able to get good legal advice and have time to stop and think about how he was
going to plead. I wasn’t given that luxury.

“I don’t advocate that we should be throwing anyone in jail for saying…
something that he shouldn’t have done. It was silly. Does it really make him a

Very gracious of her, he had plenty time to get good counsel, she was railroaded in and probably told she would get off as she had no previous if she pleaded guilty which would be the norm, look at the Welsh guy who choked and kicked his girlfriend, no previous was taken into account and a suspended sentence handed out, she was definately made an example of.... and it was criminal to take away a mother from her child for that length of time, they could have given her 6 weeks it would still have had the same impact, I wish her well, I think she will make alot of money off the back of her dubious celebrity

So I have watched the interview in full now

My thoughts are Lucy is articulate, bright, confident and comes across as very honest in her assessment of what has happened to her, she agrees she should not have said what she did, but she took it down, it beggars belief that she got the sentence she did and that there was no mitigation for the fact that her 19 month old son died needlessly at the hands of the NHS and that she had to fight for years to get justice for his death which to any Judge would indicate that she was left scarred by the experience. I have little doubt this is the last we have seen of Lucy, Starmer can go on and on about black holes but he needlessly kept Lucy in prison at the taxpayers expense for a year, depriving her 12 year old daughter of her mother, while domestic abusers, rapists etc either walk away scot free or get early release to relieve the over crowded prison estate, I fully believe her when she says 80 per cent of the female estate do not deserve to be behind bars. Given she is not media trained she gave a brilliant interview, and was far more honest and believable than alot of our MPs past and present. I would not be surprised to see her run as an MP and she would be the perfect candidate to oversee prison reform.....she is a fighter took on the NHS and won and she will be forever a thorn in Starmers side for sure.

Which actually to me is really nauseating.

She never considered her family one bit when she planned and typed then posted her grossly despicable prejudiced tweet.

In my view she got what she deserved.
Her thinking was more likely her real thinking in that tweet and I detest prejudice.
However yes, it's astounding anyone can see her as a martyr as you've rightly pointed is what she's become to some who possibly think like she does too.
Who knows.

What she really is however, is a criminal, now with a criminal record.

Nigel Farage to champion Lucy Connolly’s story at US Congress

Reform UK leader to discuss the case when testifying about freedom of expression in the UK

Nigel Farage will tell Lucy Connolly’s story to key allies of Donald Trump when he gives evidence at a free speech hearing in the US next month.

The Reform UK leader will travel to Washington in early September to testify to members of Congress about threats to freedom of expression in Britain.

He is set to bring up the case of Mrs Connolly, who was released from prison last week after being jailed for 31 months over a social media post in the aftermath of the Southport attacks.

Mr Farage said the case of Mrs Connolly, who after her release described herself as a political prisoner, would be “a very central point of what I’m discussing”.

There is misunderstanding over why she pled guilty btw - it's not because she was promised a lenient sentence or was pressured, it's because she freely confessed immediately after being arrested without talking to a lawyer.

As a result she had literally no defence at trial.

She's someone who lost a son who was like 18 months old to boot.

Absolutely Oliver, no wonder she cracked when writing that tweet.

Rather support people like Lucy and my choice of politicians than murdering bastards who should never have been here, and the bloody Labour Party and it's acolytes who still support them despite them being scum and ruining our lovely country.


Who are the murdering bastards?

SHE REMOVED IT.

Who are the murdering bastards?

Axel Rudakabana and the likes

She’s not vulnerable :joker:

I can make this whole situation real simple for the hard of understanding.
She is a proven racist criminal, pled guilty, found guilty.
Any person or media saying otherwise is either manipulating you, an idiot and / or a racist themselves.

I'm saying one last thing on this as I'm stunned at the supporting of this vile individual.
I guess we do learn something every day about people.

However I agree with every word you've said in your post above.

There is NO excusing her, plus never mind her original day in court.
She had an appeal heard too, which was equally on the hard evidence provided, leaving the sentence in place.

She is in effect the real kind of people whose opinions the UK would be better without in my opinion.
Absolutely for me.

There's no excusing her?? Of course there flipping well is. Others have done far worse and nothing has been done.

Team Reform. Team Lucy Connolly.

Get Labour Scum out. Lucy was a political prisoner. Starmer even pretended he didn't even know about her case. Lying Scum.
