Lucy Connolly to sue police!

 

Lucy Connolly portrayed herself as a thug and now portrays herself as "Starmer's police prisoner." She knew that her comments were likely to backfire on her and that's why she later deleted them. She pleaded guilty to inciting racial hatred online.  I believe she did child minding and she said that if Ofsted contacted her, she would say that she hadn't written the comment but had been 'doxed'. She also said that she would play the mental health card.

However, I do think a sentence of 30 months' imprisonment for this offence was OTT and it has implications for free speech. If you read her comment, it is a moot point as to whether she did really incite racial hatred, but she did plead guilty to that offence. Many other people were also imprisoned for making online comments after the Southport attack but the right-wing press don't seem to have taken up their cases because they're not married to Tory councillors.

Three children tragically died that day and it is no wonder that people became angry about it. Many believed that the attacker was a Muslim and an asylum seeker. He was neither.
