Lucy Connolly sentenced

[Rockalittle78]

Lucy Connolly sentenced to two and a half years.

Well deserved. Nasty racist bitch.

Trying to hide the evidence doesn't count!

She encouraged people to commit racially aggravated murder. Would you want her as your childminder?!

But she didn't physically harm anyone. That's the whole point she's got a far harsher sentence than people who kill and sexually abuse others

She was a registered childminder.

Totally agree.

No I wouldn't want her as a child minder which is why I said what she did was wrong. Nobody has argued that it isn't. People are just baffled that she's been sentenced harsher than someone who has killed someone or sexually abused them

There are really people on here saying it’s too harsh. My goodness…

People have said it's disproportionate

It richly serves her right. The government was absolutely right to provide a decisive response to what was a wave of disgusting racist violence and incitement. She made her choice and she can do her time.

Huw Edwards should have gone to prison. The treatment of sexual crimes across our justice system is atrocious. This has nothing to do with Lucy Connolly.

So you can see why people are expressing annoyance at the two tier sentencing?

Because she tried to incite thousands of people to murder.

Yes, murderers and rapists/paedophiles should also be sentenced harshly. So should people who try to incite racist murders.

No, because that is rightwing nonsense

Connollly got imprisoned for inciting people to engage in racist violent, including setting fire to other human beings

There is nothing "two-tier" about it. The British justice system is a complex and ever-evolving creature with hundreds of different processes, rules and guidelines, more effective in some areas than others (sexual crimes are a glaring weakness, but there are lots of others).

This "two-tier" dog whistle is simplistic, unhelpful crap.

Plenty of people in prison now for demonstrations in which they neither harmed anyone nor called for anyone to be harmed… (climate and Palestine protests).

Again. She encouraged people to set fire to a building full of people. To trap hundreds of innocent people in a building while they set fire to it.

People like her are responsible for a lot of the unrest that happened. They spread lies to wind people up to a point of attempted murder on a mass scale.

I really don’t understand how you’re not getting that there is a bigger picture here.

And I completely object to jailing people for protesting. People who have took away peoples lives and innocence are released early to make way for people expressing their views

There is a bigger picture here. The government is way too lenient on serious crimes

You think the rioters were protesting?

Does the government decide on sentences for crimes? Genuine question

@DuncinToffee try reading the post I was actually replying to

@ShiteRider well yes Keir starmer did in this case

He decided on the sentences?

How did that work?

You didn't quote but I have seen it now
