UK Mother Jailed for Over 2 Years for Deleted Tweet Following Southport Massacre

A 42-year-old British childminder, Lucy Connolly, was sentenced to 31 months in prison for a social media post supporting mass deportations following a mass stabbing in Southport. The post, published on X and deleted within hours, led to Connolly’s conviction under the Public Order Act for inciting racial hatred.

Connolly, described by local families as a respected caregiver to children of various ethnic backgrounds, was arrested at her home while caring for children after she called for “mass deportation,” and said “set fire to all the f-cking hotels full of the bastards for all I care,” adding, “If that makes me racist, so be it.” The post was soon after deleted but police argued it was available for at least three and a half hours.

The stabbing, which involved a man of migrant background, resulted in the deaths of three girls and injuries to eight others during a Taylor Swift-themed event. Connolly’s post, made in reaction to the killings, was cited by authorities as inflammatory. Despite deleting it soon after, she was arrested and ultimately pleaded guilty, reportedly in hopes of receiving a reduced sentence. However, the plea did not mitigate the outcome.

I wish that Trump would lean on the UK’s anti-freedom agenda with even half as much effort as he’s pushing tariffs.

“The stabbing, which involved a man of migrant background…?!”

It’s too late. Fifty years from now people will talk about Great Britain like they talk about the fall of the Roman Empire.

No. I live in the U.S.

But Britain is becoming the very evil we fought and died against.

I hope to heck we stay out of it. I think our follies in “nation building” should have taught us you can’t save a people who don’t want to be saved. If resistance to the leftists breaks out on its own I could be persuaded to help the good guys but I just don’t see it happening.

I have one last trip to the UK to visit elderly family before they die. After that, never again. If you want to feel like visiting Islamabad but closer, just go to Glasgow.

The real issue is Islam getting a hold of western military and intelligence

Islam is a war plan

I view it the same as the Ukraine/Russia war. I strongly disagree with Russia.

I strongly disagree with the UK.

But not my circus; not my monkeys.

I’m surprised they haven’t stormed the castle. Sad. 🙏

You are exactly correct. It still can, after Trump is out. We need to turn it around now, and permanently. Push back woke, put the LGBT etc back in the closet and rebuild the nuclear families.
