"Lucy Connolly: Political Prisoner or Racist?"

LucyConnolly #PoliticalPrisoner #FreeSpeech #KeirStarmer #SouthportMurders Lucy Connolly lost her appeal today. She’s now serving a 31-month sentence for a single offensive tweet—a tweet she deleted just three hours after posting it, during the emotional fallout of the Southport murders. Her defence argued she was traumatised, both by the brutal incident and by the loss of her own child. The controversial tweet allegedly incited anger and contributed to riots near a migrant hotel. With limited legal support, Lucy Connolly pleaded guilty, advised by a duty lawyer to accept a lesser sentence. But was justice really served? Many now claim she was used as a political example—a warning to others. Meanwhile, it’s been revealed that Keir Starmer may have withheld information about Axel Rudakubana, the man behind the Southport killings—information that could have helped prevent the riots. In a time when the UK faces a prison overcrowding crisis, and more dangerous offenders are being released early, the case raises serious questions: • Is Lucy Connolly a political prisoner or simply being held accountable? • Is there a two-tier justice system in Britain? • Who should police public speech—the courts, or the police? 🔥 Join the discussion in the comments below. 🔔 Subscribe for more videos on justice, censorship, politics, and free speech in the UK.
