To think Lucy Connolly has been made an example of?

[SouthernFashionista]

Have any of you read this article about Lucy Connolly who tweeted inflammatory comments following the Southport murders? I have to admit that at the time I was fully supportive of having her locked up, with the key thrown away. But reading this article made me view it all a little differently. Surely she has done her time?

Calling for innocent people to be burnt to death is a bit more than "offensive".

And how long in prison did they serve?

What about these people?

How long a prison sentence did they receive?

Get a grip

They should both be in prison.

If you don't understand why one is and the other isn't, I don't know what to tell you. It's not difficult 🤷🏻‍♂️

You neither if you think sending people to prison over tweets is the answer

It’s also not difficult to understand that prisons are bursting at the seams so sending people to prison over tweets is ridiculous

People weren't sent to prison for Tweeting. People were sent to prison for committing crimes.

And yet no further action here until an outrage on social media made the police re-open the case

Met Police claimed imam’s sermon saying ‘destroy Jewish homes’ is not a crime

Ridiculous 😂

Sentiments which are shared by millions of British people.

Get rid of all the extraneous babble, and that is what her defence of Connolly comes down to. I despise those sentiments, but people have every right to express them. What they do not have a right to do is to advocate arson and murder. Lots of people have tragedy in their lives. Lots of people "aren't racist" because they know some people whose skin isn't white. None of that justifies arson and murder or encouraging it. She is where she deserves to be. She gets no sympathy from me.

I know. It is ridiculous that you don't understand the difference.

The author is hardly unbiased. She said that riots were understandable, race hate is a political view and the racist is a political prisoner. Perhaps police should be looking for her on CCTV.

This. Context matters.

He didn't urge his listeners to destroy Jewish homes.

Try reading the article

A preacher at an <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/bHXxm/www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/11/18/jews-gay-people-hide-identity-arab-areas-germany/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">east London mosque told followers to “curse the Jews” and “break their words” just two weeks after the Hamas massacre in southern Israel last year, it was reported.
He said: “Oh Allah, curse the Jews and the children of Israel. Oh Allah, curse the infidels and the polytheists.
“Oh Allah, break their words, shake their feet, disperse and tear apart their unity and ruin their houses and destroy their homes.”

So what he said is fine then?

What??

I did read it. If we locked preachers up for urging their God to smite people, cells would be full every Monday.😆

Ah yes, the Conservative Post, a bastion of neutrality and unbiased opinion.

Ah yes “context”

The reason police allowed swastikas
to be waved around

Same if we locked everyone up who ever wrote an offensive tweet

Why not?

You're saying it isn’t threatening violence that’s the crime but “who” threatens violence

The person with the Swatstika was arrested.

This sums it up exactly.

Many people actually think it's "understandable" to blame all migrants for a crime (wrongly) assumed to have been committed by a migrant.

If I committed a horrible crime the same people would never think it was OK to go out and attack random middle aged jigsaw puzzle loving white women
