Election Year or Fear!

[SithHappens]

It's interesting though that a certain Mr farage refers to two tier justice, yet demanded his milkshake attacker receive a custodial sentence yet thinks someone calling for the murder of innocent people should walk scot free.

Perhaps on the face of it (pun intended) the milkshake attacker couldn't have complained had she been in receipt of a short custodial sentence, corbyns egger got 28 days after all.

I still think the X post led to an excessive punishment but by no means should that be mistaken for sympathy.

The milkshake attacker represented much more Sith. IT WAS AN ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY and the fact a politician should be perceived fair game for an assault when campaigning. It may have been a milkshake, but could easily have been battery acid. What about the man who hurled concrete at him, on the open top bus? No action taken. Was that acceptable? Yes the milk shake attacker should have got jail time, even if it was a couple of weeks.
I remember the howls over Jo Cox and the right wing need to be shut down. Yet when Daved Amess was murdered the raw outrage was toned down a lot. His killer was Ali Harbi Ali, a British Islamic State sympathiser and probably made the anti right wing narrative look a bit dodgy.

The point is, if you are going to have a justice system, then that system is applied fairly across the board. Starmer is partly to blame for the treatment of Lucy Connolly. His mouthing and demands for fast track action and extreme punishment in answer to Southport "far right" rioters set this in motion. It has since turned out, it was anything but far right, but the spineless tosser hasn't even apologised for
his mislabelling and error. In the mean time, people committing worse crimes get less punishment and leniency. Its a disgrace.
