"The idea she was the PM's political prisoner, or had an 'unfair trial'? She pled guilty!" Lucy Connolly - jailed for a race-hate post after Southport - is being used to criticise the British judicial system by the right.

Anyone who agrees with what she posted is disgusting.

Fuck this poisonous creature and the ridiculous idea she’s spouting of being a ‘political prisoner’. Fuck the Fucking Telegraph and Alison Pearson for supporting her cause as some sort of free speech ‘martyr’.

Who interviewed her on TV? This ppl needs to be properly called off by the media as a whole. Its really no good to just give her airtime.

That's called freedom of speech. Rather ironic since one of the claims of right-wing, US criticism is that we have none!

Nope. That, in her interview, is bare face lying, deceitfulness, & obfuscation. Freedom of speech comes with rights as well as responsibilities. But yes, I completely agree about the US related irony, which under the banner of FoS, is actually killing the speech they disagree with.

Actually, freedom of speech comes with no automatic strings. Those are applied by law - like don't incite violence (eg, suggesting a hotel is burnt down). It is nice if people are respectful, but that is not part of human rights. That is what is "acceptable" in society, which is different.

Sorry but no: If freedom of speech means insulting, degrading, spewing racist, mysogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, and xenophobic shit, and fanning fear, and inciting violence, that’s not a “freedom” I could ever respect or recognise. Freedom of speech is not a free pass for forgetting civility.

Well then, you don't believe in Freedom of speech. None of those things are nice. But if you sanction people for those, who is next? Me for writing something that upsets a right-winger or left winger? My mother for being Chritstian? Or my ex for being black? You can't ONLY have YOUR freedom.

Sorry but arguments are one thing, insults & incitements to violence dressed as ‘freedom of speech’, from whatever side of the political spectrum, are wrong, & to believe that ‘freedom of speech’ is a green card to say that ever the duck you want, whatever the colour of the politics, is plain wrong.

Freedom of speech has to be for everyone. Even those we disagree with. That does not mean you allow people to use it to incite hatred, but even there, you are careful. For bring down one pillar of freedom, then the others might follow. Freedom of thought and speech is too valuable and vulnerable

Advice to UK media. Learn from the US media's mistakes. Stop giving stupid people a platform. Stop analyzing stupid people's actions. Stop talking about them. Period.

They did learn. They learnt that they can get the worst and least suited people into high office. That’s exactly what they want. Why do you think the media is not working hard to get these people elected? Look at who owns or runs the media. They learnt from the US and will do the same to the UK.

Out on license Now insisting that she is innocent, and putting up a defence of free speech (and effectively also admitting she entered a false plea). And showing no remorse at all Surely the terms of her license are now broken. If not, she should be retried and if convicted serve the remainder.

Vile woman, she doesn’t deserve the spotlight the right rags have given her. A criminal with a repeated history of racist abuse all over her Twitter account, she’s the lowest of the lowest. But in the current situation we live in she’s lauded a heroine and a political prisoner, which is all a lie.

Free speech doesn't give someone the right to say or post disorder or hate. It doesn't give you the right to yell fire in a movie theater. How Trumpian of her, always the victim!!!!

She broke the law that was passed by a tory government. She pleaded guilty to inciting racial hatred and endangering people's lives. She was let out after serving 40% of her sentence which again are the rules. The right wing can FUCK OFF
