CRUELTY upon cruelty. Lucy Connolly, one of the most egregiously persecuted Southport protesters, appealed yesterday against her jail sentence of two years and seven months for a tweet which she deleted and apologised for. The Appeal Court did not need time to make a judgement. But they did. She still doesn’t know whether she’ll have to rot in jail with serious criminals for another two years. That the judge delayed making a decision – which should be obvious to any reasonable lawyer – is yet another damning indictment of our injustice system.
No two names more than those of Lucy Connolly’s and Peter Lynch (RIP – the 61 year old sentenced for two years and nine months for protesting against immigration who died two months into his sentence), highlight the cruel and tyrannical nature of Two-Tier Keir Starmer’s post-Southport-protests ‘swift justice’.
If you have not already read Allison Pearson’s disturbing investigation into the case of Lucy Connelly, wife of a Conservative and ‘lovely mum’ who is a political prisoner in Starmer’s Stasi Britain, please do, here. As Allison says, the treatment ‘of a widely-respected and adored childminder described by one parent as ‘the kindest British person I’ve met/, a mother of two children (one living, one dead) and carer to a sick husband, by whose side she also appeared in his role as a Tory councillor’, is testament to our injustice system.
This is not of course how the BBC characterise or report her or her case. Nor has the the government’s mouthpiece reported that, crueller still, while in prison she has been denied release on temporary licence to spend time with her child and husband, even though this has been granted to fellow inmates convicted of serious crimes. As a low risk to the community and a primary carer to her child, Lucy ought to have been a prime candidate for this normal step in the rehabilitation process. But she claims that a prison official told her probation officer she wouldn’t be let out with a tag ‘because of press and public perception’. Never mind that the plight of a mother separated from her child or children has long since been used as an argument by feminists and leftists for not jailing women. That apparently has gone by the board.
Dan Wootton joined Allison Pearson yesterday outside the Royal Courts of Justice to cover the case. But their appeal to police the streets not the tweets so far appears to have fallen on deaf ears.
As we reported yesterday evening the judge has delayed his verdict. We have to pray this is not a bad sign.
That she is still locked up is a national disgrace as one tweeter replied to Dan. Katie Hopkins nailed it too. The Appeal Court does not need time to make a judgement – so why?
Yes, it is a damning indictment of socialist run Britain under Keir Starmer. If you want to help Lucy rebuild her shattered life and fight two tier justice you can donate here. In the meantime we pray for her prison and that the verdict when it finally comes will show compassion not cruelty.
