"A previous hearing was told Connolly posted a message to X, on the day three girls were stabbed to death in Southport, which read: “Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the bastards for all I care … If that makes me racist, so be it.”

It would be interesting to see his interpretation.
He’s often held up for the Big Brother thing but he also wrote extensively on the dangers of nationalism. |
Nationalism can be very dangerous. It's why I don't spout on about being proud to be Welsh or British but I do say I am Weslh and British with no pride involved.
Look at the arguments that simple 3 word statement "Welsh and British" causes on here.
Was he wrong about big brother, we are spied on all the time, people who are against more cameras and national ID cards really are making a pointless argument. Anybody who drives a car, uses a smart phone and contactless payments is already tracked wherever they go. |  | | |

Prople need to accept responsibility for what they post online. Too many people are posting things that are just not acceptable and serious harm can be caused, children have committed suicide through online abuse. You don't need to physically touch someone to cause harm, the sentences should be tougher. |
Got a lot of sympathy for this viewpoint, but I'm not entirely sure that the current judicial system is in any way prepared or able to deal with social media.
On the face of it a custodial sentence like this for posting some racist nonsense on Twitter is ludicrous when you consider that Huw Edwards walked free for Paedophilia, which gives you some idea of how poorly things are aligned. There needs to be a lot more flexibility within sentencing guidelines, and judges prepared to work within that and use common sense. [Post edited 17 Oct 21:05]

From my limited experience, the words "judges" and "common sense" should never be used in the same sentence. |  |

Not going to disagree. | |

Whenever public disturbance raises its head sentencing guidelines are thrown to the wind.
Justice eh | | | |

Two tier Kier.
It's a nonsense to think that Governmental pressure hasn't led to these sentences. | |

It’s more than pressure when you open the floodgates of our prisons releasing convicts into society who should still be serving a term of punishment for their crimes. | | | |

Sentenced today to 31 months in jail. That is a very substantial sentence for an online social media post. We shall have to see how sentences for cases coming through for people on the Left/Palestinian side, like Ricky Jones, compare. |
Excellent news, get the idiots who declare support for every side by threatening, abusing and causing hatred locked up for as long as possible. |  |

Indeed. Maybe some of the morons who’re likely to jump on the bandwagon will have been deterred by what they’ve seen. The swift justice and subsequent publicity around sentencing brought an end to the disorder. I dare say there will be the hard liners who aren’t bothered by a spot of porridge at His Majesty’s pleasure, but for most the prospect of some time away from the family, losing their job etc will deter them from getting involved. | | | |

Ridiculous stretch for a person having a rant on the internet , it is all fake online anyway .
Yes she blew her top , did not think and went to her keyboard to let off steam . I had my thoughts after the despicable Southport murders but kept them to myself in anger .
Current climate is do not upset anyone and tread on eggshells when speaking out sadly .
31 months , and less to be served on parole for a stupid remark .
Yet criminals are laughing at their early release and go on to re-offend asap .
Goverment spin will say we are tough on rioters , we have got the issue under control and harsh jail time awaits the keyboard warriors .
No wonder our prisons are at breaking point with over capacity .
Give her a formal warning , a silly thing to say and leak the story to the Press .
Lucy Connolly will now be branded a racist and named in all media Channels .
Surely that is enough punishment she has to live with . | | | |

One way to look at this is that prompt, tough action had the desired effect and a line has been drawn under recent civil disturbances. Others will say (or think in private) that the line between what people can say or not say has moved, that this is increasingly different from the way the line is drawn in some other countries such as the United States, that there are issues about relativities in sentencing and a selective focus with a political aspect, and that this adds a new dimension to the culture wars. We'll have to wait and see who is right, but I would not be surprised if there are unintended consequences. | | | |

One could only agree with that if more serious crimes were punished accordingly.
Look at Huw Edwards! Surely his misdemeanours should have warranted far greater punishment?
And early release? That went well in many cases.
Her conviction is political and the punishment disproportionate. |  |

Her conviction was to send a message
Using that logic,anyone torturing nd destroying children should never come out of prison . Ever
Plenty of evidence that not the case
The latest high profile case involving young Sara by three relatives of colour might show we are serious about protecting the vulnerable
