I was waiting for someone to trot this out. Asking for people to be burned to death because you don't like their skin tone, the language they might speak or the god they might pray to isn't a political position or an act of protest.

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.

Doesn’t stop you and me having empathy for the kid
I do agree though the advice from the new solicitor and approach is beyond arrogant and not joined up and is why the court said no way
That said I didn’t watch the hearing and judges have been wrong before

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.

Read the transcript she wasn’t badly advised

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.

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.

The argument about why reform isn’t that we don’t understand their popularity it’s that it’s been said and done before and never ends well

Heres a complex problem
Here’s a simple answer that doesn’t require anything from me and doesn’t affect me

yeah sure I’ll vote for you

Do you know what a political prisoner actually is?

Her views didn’t put her in prison, her calls to burn people alive did.

She got a sentence in accordance with the sentencing guidelines. If you don't think that incitement to racist violence is a very serious offence then it says a lot about you really.

I assume one of the issues around these sort of cases is it coincided with early releases and now the likelihood the 40% rule will be relaxed

Prisoners to earn freedom after serving third of sentence under new plans

Offenders in England and Wales to have sentences cut for good behaviour and completion of work, training or education tasks

Makes sense which is why it was an open door to get released if that’s what the appeal was about
For me this feels like she’s being used politically but not by starmer

It's pretty common sense that what's been applied here, and lack of reduction in sentence is to prove a point. Our prisons are overcrowded and you've got people committing far more serious crimes that have gotten less.

A political prisoner is someone technically imprisoned for their political beliefs or actions. If she had been writing with the same kind of tone towards the rioters themselves, would she still be locked up? No.

I haven't said her tweet was anything lovely, but you are all barking mad trying to defend the actions of the government and court systems here. Like I said, if it was someone that had said something you lot agree with, you would be kicking off about what's happened here.

Who on here do you think would agree with someone demanding that a hotel full of innocent people be set on fire?

Despite your attempts to obfuscate and pretend this woman is in prison for her views on immigration, there is zero chance of this sentence being handed down without her appalling calls for violence, which no right-minded person would agree with.

The original sentence actually would have in all probability been less if she had accepted the advice offered by the original Defence Counsel. For whatever reason she ignored the advice and then denied she had the advice in the first place.

The tweet itself is clearly abhorrent and a rant fully expecting that nothing would be done and she and her friends would have a right laugh about it

I’d love to read the discussions when it was made clear she was in the shit

Looks like the solicitor was in agreement with the severity of the charge and that they made it clear to her the consequences of pleading guilty she just ignored it

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.
Click to expand...
The fact you describe the woman’s case as minor is quite revealing. As DPP he should have been apolitical ( but would have had an eye on his special pension). Very different position and motivations as PM.

There was a previous Labour leader who had promised to be tough on crime and causes of crime. Starmer is attempting to make himself look tough in terms of the former but not being all that effective in terms of the latter.

In your mental opinion. Being in power seems to have melted the brains of those on the left as they adjust to how poorly that power is being wielded.

Everyone has an equal right to have opinions and to express them. Terribly sorry we are not all left wing sheep like you.

TBF that is a reasonable conclusion to come to. If only Saville had been brought to justice we could have compared sentences.

Read the judgment

The minimum was 36 months
+ 6 months due to the fact that is was a sensitive environment she did it in which she was well aware of, but, taking into account her circumstances including caring obligations
- 25% for guilty plea

If a Muslim man had stated that all pubs should be firebombed there would be uproar on here (rightly so)

Boris warns that Starmer's Britain is 'turning into a police state'

Lucy Connolly posted a vile message about migrants - but supporters point out that criminals found guilty of far more serious offences have been handed substantially shorter sentences.

In fact a Muslim man did and he’s going to court and I hope he’s convicted. People need to realise Twitter isn’t real life and you can’t run about making death threats at people.

Judiciary nothing to do with the current government policy or persuasion.

The law was from 1986 and the sentencing guidelines from 2020. The judiciary are experts at the law

I still don’t get the two tier system argument
And it’s certainly can’t be laid at the door of keir starmer unless from him time at dpp

The rest is a reasonable challenge to the justice system but ffs Boris doesn’t take the time to find out facts and evidence it’s all pomp and bluster and fluff

there are about 100 tiers of justice and the really inflammatory one is that if you don’t have any money you can fuckin whistle for justice
