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.

A very brave lady that the vast majority of the great British Public agree was treated very badly.

Agreed

You’d also think she’d want to spend time with the children she was blocked from seeing too. Less than 24hrs after completing less than 40% of her sentence she was being paraded by the far right.

Come on guys

Well definitely I'll agree with you that she is now looking like a martyr to some.
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.
Which in my own opinion, is the right outcome all round for her vile prejudice.

If you watched the interview you would know she took her daughter (she only has one child) shopping for her 13th Birthday as soon as she got out of prison, I don't think any parent spends 24 hours of the day with their children, do you know any that do? paraded by the FAR RIGHT...Alison Pearson

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”.

Don’t most parents??? Most parents don’t spend a year in prison for racial hatred though.

Doting mother has been away from her family for a year, then proceeds to do a press tour. Come off it hun

Bloody hell the hard hearted lack of compassion and contempt in this thread.

And the tweet wasn't planned. She did it on the spur of the moment and took it down quickly. She's a decent women who said something in a moment of madness, and was told to plead guilty. Negligence on the part of her legal representation.

Poor Lucy.

She addresses her guilty plea in her interview, she said she was trying to get back to her child asap, apparently lawyers were telling her husband to plead not guilty, but she was on remand and didn't want to have to wait for a trial so pleaded guilty to try and get out sooner, unlike Ricky Jones who had the luxury of not being remanded so pled not guilty as he would await his trial from the comfort of his own home

The far right really will excuse anything huh

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.

Sigh. It makes perfect sense. She said it in the heat of the moment. Little children senseless slain, it's bound to infuriate. She removed it asap. The was no planning.

It makes sense for someone to post about burning down hotels? Jesus Christ
