Unbelievable (but not unexpected).

I just don't understand why you need to announce that you're not engaging, instead of just not engaging.
Weird

It isn't the left that called a pp on here a Thick Cnut.

The post is designed to shut down debate by yet another show of name calling...

Weird why you feel the need for this.

LC released

So she’s served nine months of a 31 month sentence? Has it become normal to only serve 30%? I thought the usual parole was two thirds.

She was told when sentenced she would only serve 40%, then be out on licence. All a bit two wotsit if you ask me.

I can't wait to see which refugee charity she donates the crowdfunded money to.

Big upside is that no-one can howl about her "rotting in jail".

When I did a speed awareness course, it was on condition that I accepted I had committed an offence. The instructors made this crystal clear.

During the course, one attendee started explaining how he hadn't been guilty because really the speed limits were stupid (they used to be 60 and were now 40). When he had finished, he was reminded of the condition and asked if he should be removed from the course and have his case sent back to the court (they had that power).

He finished the course without a peep.

I think it would be strange if one of the conditions of LCs licence is that she isn't allowed to swan around saying "I should never have been convicted" and that if she does, it's back to the big house.

Rape threat passenger ‘should not have shorter sentence than Lucy Connolly’ https://share.google/lVkcqMT85yudIAbTz

I would be interested to know the reasoning for this piece of filths short sentence taking into account his previous violent convictions and history.

I don't read things behind paywalls, but maybe asking the judge rather than people here, since we have no idea what the reasoning was.

On the face of it I would agree it is unduly lenient from what I have read elsewhere. That has no relevance to Lucy Connolly though, and if it shows anything "two-tier" it is what it has always been - money talks, whatever your skin colour.

I'll wait for the Attorney General's response to the numerous requests that have been raised.

I'm surprised you lot are online, Connolly is being released today. I thought that's why patriots were putting up flags.

Is Jones still a serving councillor? He may have been cleared but he certainly shouldn’t be allowed to keep his job , at least morally..

Well I'm shocked I tell you...
