Election Year or Fear!

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.

You accidentally fall into (maybe conscious, maybe unconscious) bias again there though, declining to detail the activities of the left winger yes doing so (twice) for Connolly. That all comes over as very Keir Starmer

Well I’ve described both as ‘unacceptable’ and I have more details of what Connolly said than Jones simply because the former has already gone to court and the latter hasn’t (as a result of their different pleas). I’ve also already said it’s difficult to see how, from what we currently know, Jones won’t get a similar sentence, so not sure how you can accuse me of bias.
