Election Year or Fear!

rA "none of what Ricky Jones allegedly said has any relevance to Lucy Connolly".

Ah the usual rAnarrow world view. If it's not very specifically on exact topic then it's irrelevant.

I'd say the two issues are very similar in that both cases allege incitement to violence against particular groups of people, escalating to murder. Only difference is in the targets, and of course one has yet to come to court.

I fear your political leanings cloud your judgement rA to the extent that you appear to be defensive of the party inciting violence against the far right but aggressive towards one inciting violence against the asylum seekers.

Both are unacceptable yet you seem to display double standards. Why is this? You seem a fair minded person ordinarily but your moral compass seems to only point East (right)

If you’re going to quote me then quote me in full, GP.

I wrote, ‘None of what Ricky Jones allegedly said has any relevance to Lucy Connelly ENCOURAGING FAR RIGHT THUGS TO SET FIRE TO A HOTEL HOUSING ASYLUM SEEKERS.’…and it doesn't.

What they both said obviously has time and place in common and I’m not attempting to defend what the Labour Councillor suggested however it really doesn’t in any way diminish Lucy Connelly’s guilt regarding the behaviour she actively encouraged.

Both were, as you say, unacceptable and both have been handled differently because of their respective different pleas however the suggestions of an idiotic left winger are, imo, not relevant to why this woman is in prison for inciting arson and the murder of a specific group of people.
