She has thousands of followers and the post was shared almost a thousand times, viewed by hundreds of thousands of people.

Whether or not someone acted on her deranged calls for violence does not diminish the seriousness of the crime - it would only make it worse.

I think your missing the point, I'm not saying she didn't break the law.

I'm saying the punishment has to fit the crime.
We arnt aware of anybody acting on her words, there is zero proof that I'm aware of, of any one actually burning anything down after being inspired to do so by her.

Should she face some form of punishment for her post ... yes, but a prison term seems excessive, especially in light of the early release of prisoners who have performed such acts of violence in order to make room for people who havnt.

As multiple people have pointed out by literally copying and pasting the law in question, the punishment did fit the crime.

Whether anyone was directly inspired to act does not make the incitement itself less serious. There is no “tree falls in the woods” clause here. You are of course free to launder her reputation and do damage control as you see fit, but until you get that basic point, you won’t be any closer to understanding why the sentence was what it was.

Justice for the victims would be a start.

We know the horrendous crimes were committed, why were there no prosecutions when the perpetrators are known to the police?

There were prosecutions, there have been multiple rounds in e.g. Rochdale. If you want to prosecute people you don't do it via public inquiry.

This 2 tier thing. Are people suggesting that she got of lightly because she was potentially facing a maximum 10 year sentence but because she’s white and married to a Tory councillor she only got 2 and half years? Can only assume that’s the case as she certainly could have had a far heftier sentence if the latter of the law was implemented.

It would be easier to at least respect people for their honesty if it was "I kinda agree with what she posted" rather than some variation of "Starmer fixed it!".

That seems crazy. It gives the judges no leeway. It looks like she was poorly advised to plead guilty, as it took the sentence out of the judges hands.

It looks to me like she had excellent advice but thought that being married to a conservative councillor would mean they wouldn’t throw the book at her and worse the appeal was poorly made and wasn’t rational or logical
The appeal judges side completely with the defence solicitor and completely reject lucy Connollys narrative it’s hard to find holes in it

No, as you are well aware we have an independent judiciary in this country. It's a major part of the UK's soft power and standing in the world.

But there was leeway. The sentence was reduced by 5 months vs the starting point of 3 years.

He has little/ no empathy with anyone who does not comply 100% with his view of the world. Is looking forward to the world of 1984 to be fully adopted as the framework for UK governance. Perhaps with a little Clockwork Orange thrown in for fun.

People: "Starmer let Saville get away with it!"
People: "Starmer fixed this woman's sentence!"

so he's too busy to get involved with cases as Director of Public Prosecutions when he should have done, now he's Prime Minister he's all over a minor case to push for a few months extra when he shouldn't. Makes total sense.

Starmer somehow managing to be both a timid leader with no authority, yet also an omnipotent authoritarian with sweeping powers over the judiciary. All in the space of one post.

She’s 11, she’ll live. We can’t have a separate legal system for parents. Parents are supposed to be more responsible because they’ve got children. I imagine if she spent less time hyping up her case as some great miscarriage of justice and more atoning for her sins I suspect the judges might feel a little more lenient.

It has been said she took the legal advice to plead guilty believing it was the surest and quickest way to return to her family life and 12 yr old daughter, but it was turned out to be quite the opposite.

Precisely.

There's many on here that would be up in arms in someone being made a political prisoner for their views, and being exploited by the criminal justice system by being tricked into pleading guilty, if their views aligned.

This same judge that dismissed the case today by saying there were no grounds for early release was the same judge who released Lord Ahmed for attempt of rape early. Which crime is worse?

Yes, her tweet was shit, but there isn't a soul in the world that can argue that this makes sense and take the moral high ground without coming across as a total hypocrite and bellend.

Is it a bit stupid? Yes.

However, anyone in this current day and age that thinks this is worth 31 months in prison frankly shouldn't be permitted to vote.



Given the shock at the recent local election results, I would add that most of you do not reflect the opinion of the majority of the country with your outrage about this case.

I think people feel the sentence doesn't reflect the crime, I'm not saying that a crime wasn't committed, clearly it was.
But (imo) releasing other prisoners, some of whom have committed far worse offenses and then imprisoning a mother for a post seems to be very OTT.

How many of us have said something in the heat of the moment that we later regret,
(Like "will you marry me")

In this case, once you post on the cesspit of social media, it's there for everyone to see.

The snowflakes fawning over this woman on here is hilarious. A) she did the crime B) she didn’t even get the maximum sentence and C) her appeal was based on her playing the victim. If you can’t do the time…

I don’t see the same people (or anyone else for that matter) fawning over Roger Hallam who got 5 years for organising a protest. Wrong cause obviously. Incite people to riot and burn down hotels containing people including thousands of children = fine/miscarriage of justice/the perpetrator is the real victim vs incite people to peaceful protest against the biggest threat to mankind that inconvenienced some people for a day = keep quiet/say nothing. If you want to discuss a 2 tier justice system…

The snowflake right needs to give their heads a wobble.
