Musk hits out at treatment of mother jailed for Southport post
The Telegraph ^ | 07 April 2025 | Charles Hymas

Elon Musk has criticised prison chiefs for denying a mother jailed over last summer’s riots the right to spend temporary leave with her daughter and sick husband.

The billionaire owner of X, formerly Twitter, and adviser to Donald Trump, indicated that he was “100%” behind demands that Lucy Connolly, who was jailed for 31 months for inciting racial hatred in a tweet, should be released on temporary licence (ROTL).

Connolly has been forced to wait four months on her request for ROTL after becoming eligible in November last year.

Documents seen by The Telegraph suggest that the 42-year-old childminder from Northampton has not yet been granted the leave amid concerns over public and media interest in her case rather than any apparent failure to meet the criteria for temporary release.

In her appeal, Connolly cited a deterioration in her 12-year-old daughter’s school behaviour which is “totally out of character” and the stress being placed on her sick husband, Ray, a Tory councillor, who is suffering from bone marrow failure.

Connolly was arrested after posting on X hours after the Southport killings. She spoke of mass deportations and setting fire to asylum hotels “for all I care”.

“I feel physically sick knowing what these [Southport] families will now have to endure. If that makes me racist so be it,” she added.

She took it down within four hours after thinking better of what she had written in the heat of the moment but not before it had been viewed 310,000 times and screenshot. She was interviewed by police on Aug 6 and charged three days later.

She has been in jail since, having pleaded guilty and then been sentenced in October.

Is there anyone left in the world who doesn’t know that X was formerly Twitter?

It’s time to end diplomatic relations with Britain.

And more importantly, take away their leased Trident SLICBMs.

South Africa dismantled their nuclear weapons before they ended Apartheid.

The UK needs to get rid of theirs before 2030.

Muslims can chant “Death to Israel” all day and nothing happens to them. The UK has turned into a freak show.

[[who was jailed for 31 months for inciting racial hatred in a tweet]]

How many palestinians have been imprisoned for inciting hatred against Jews?

I think the world is reaching a place in which a new kind of warfare will be required.

Rather than the ruling elite globalists sending millions to their deaths for their money-driven wargames, citizens may need to mass execute the frauds holding positions of power and abusing those positions to rob and enslave their citizens.

The British socialists/communists have recently arrested over 1,500 people for posting comments about anything the socialists/communists do not like.

We came very close to having this being done in this country. The democrats will still try to arrest conservatives.
