Atta Girl, Come Out Swinging!

 After all, what have you got to lose?

A woman who was jailed for stirring up racial hatred against asylum seekers has said she was made to be "Sir Keir Starmer's political prisoner". Lucy Connolly, from Northampton, was released on Thursday after serving 40% of her 31-month prison sentence.

And you'll now see the panoply of State arrayed against her as a result. And every talk show host and comedian and two-bit columnist in the land will have a sly dig, knowing it will find favour with the establishment.  

"I, for some reason, seem to have had the most coverage, but there are people that are in equally awful situations that shouldn't be in there," she said, speaking to journalist Allison Pearson, who had campaigned for Connolly's release. "I think with Starmer he needs to practise what he preaches.

 He's find that difficult, since what he preaches changes when the wind shifts....

"He's a human rights lawyer, so maybe he needs to look at what people's human rights are; what freedom of speech means; and what the laws are in this country."

Ah, if only it was the human rights of the British people that he cared about, but it's not. 

Connolly also told the Telegraph she was "upset and angry beyond belief" after the murders in Southport, and that she knew "how that feels because I've lost a child". "Of course,[the tweet] wasn't my finest moment and I don't, I definitely don't advocate violence or burning anything down or anything of the sort." She said she was considering legal action against the police over a statement that was released by the Crown Prosecution Service after her sentencing, which claimed she had told police in an interview that "she did not like illegal immigrants, external" and "that children were not safe from them".

Good. It's about time ther police were given a bloody nose over their partisanship. 

Her comments had been "massively twisted and used against me", she claimed.

It's who they are now, Lucy, it's what they do....
