What she said and posted was absolutely vile. No question about it and she absolutely deserves to be punished.

But over the last few months I have seen endless reports about men who have been convicted for downloading hundreds and thousands of child sex abuse images who have been given absolutely no jail time whatsoever.

Are we all really content with somebody being sent to prison for writing words on social media - as deeply offensive as they were - when people, men, are not being sent to prison for for the downloading and possession of child sexual abuse images?

A big fine and a suspended sentence or house arrest with a nice ankle collar would probably have been more appropriate. She's a nasty piece of work but I'd rather tax payers money and prison space be allocated to the nastier pieces of work that actually are a danger to society.

But SHE is a danger to society! She was literally TELLING people to set fire to hotels with immigrants in them.

DO YOU NOT GET THIS?!

The apologists on here are making me sick.

Apologists, Yaxley Lennon has a book out this week, toddle off and get a copy, you'll agree with every word. Why any of you think that inciting a mob to arson and murder is practically the equivalent of stealing a bar of chocolate is bewildering. Burn and murder refugees yet a slap on the wrist for inciting and encouraging it? Two tier thinking going on.

LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway · 17/10/2024 22:50

@KnackeredandWiser Write to your MP about this as you are clearly furious about it. This thread is not the place. THIS thread is about that vile racist cow Lucy Connolly, who got a well deserved custodial sentence for telling people to murder people.

Perhaps you need to start your own thread about men who download sexualised images of children.

I'm not being an apologist. I think tax payers money and limited prison space should be reserved for those that are genuinely dangerous. The ones that will stab you in the eye for looking at them funny kind of thing. I appreciate what she said could potentially have incited violence, but the people that would have acted on her tweet would probably still have done whatever it is they would have done anyway and used something else as an excuse.

She IS genuinely dangerous FFS! 🙄 THAT is why she has got over 2 years in jail. She was telling people to murder people!

We will have to agree to disagree.

Deliberately obtuse and obfuscating. No point at all in continuing.

Scenicgirl · 17/10/2024 23:19

I think what she said was said in the heat of the moment and totally wrong but don't you think it's off that she should go to prison when the likes of Huw Edwards gets off with a slapped wrist? The court is making an example of her.
So unfair when you think of the brutal rapists escaping prison. I honestly think woman's rights are going backwards in this country.

Probably the same kind of person who breaks the speed limit, and overtakes on bends, and gets caught with no insurance, or MOT, or car tax. Then when the police catch up with them, they say, 'why don't you go and arrest some real criminals?'

A police officer friend says they get this shit several times a week, and they're like 'that's literally what I'm doing. Arresting a criminal. You're breaking the law.'

Utterly unfathomable that some people actually genuinely believe that this woman has done nothing wrong except write a few cuss words on a website. Unbelievable! She is a CRIMINAL who told people to MURDER some immigrants by setting fire to them. The fact people are saying 'it was just words' are fucking batshit.

And the whatabouttery on this thread is seriously boiling my piss. If you think certain other people (MEN mostly) should have had more of a punishment for other things they did, start a thread about that. THIS thread is about Lucy Connolly!

Heat of the moment?

Do you often tell people to set fire to a hotel with humans in it in the heat of the moment?

Do you incite violence in the heat of the moment and then joke you will play the mental health card

lolly792 · 17/10/2024 23:36

Really odd that some people keep banging on 'do we think it's right that Lucy Connolly got this prison sentence when sex offenders don't....' .... literally no one has said that!

Meanwhile we have a local Paedo, who admitted sex with children, whose case has been deferred again and again because the courts have been told to defer sentencing as the prisons are full - and is walking free on bail.

I agree Connolly deserves a sentence, but why couldn't her hearing or indeed jail time be deferred rather than people who are an active threat to local communities roaming the streets.

StepawayfromtheLindors · 17/10/2024 23:39

She deserves a custodial sentence. Hopefully she’ll be more careful with her keyboard warrioring when she gets out of prison. I don’t think she’ll have many parents queuing up for her childminding services though 🤨

ComtesseDeSpair · 17/10/2024 17:37

after calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire.

Somebody with a reasonably high profile in the community and married to an MP inciting arson and murder is pretty serious, more so than the average Jo with no influence doing the same. Her other posts about “deport asylum seekers” etc I agree fall into the “free speech even if you don’t like what’s being said” category - but not that.

Her husband is not an MP. He is a local councillor.

She didn’t actually say that though did she. She said “for all I care”.

i don’t care if they jail Keir Starmer. It doesn’t mean I’m advocating for him to be jailed.

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

Start a new thread about your 'local paedo' then. Quit the whatabouttery.

If she deserves a custodial sentence then you must surely be advocating for 100.000’s more to follow her.

If someone had told you even 5 years ago that writing what she did would result in 2.5 years in prison you’d have been laughed at.

This notion that writing a wholly inappropriate message suddenly warrants jail time is absurd and totally out of line with anything that has gone before.
