The twerps at the Free Speech Union, headed by climate skeptic Toby Young, supported Lucie in her battle to say racist things and incite people to violence against brown people. However, they are completely silent and don't care at all about the right to free speech of pensioners opposing genocides of brown people.

Free Speech but only if you're saying the right things.

But you're blaming the wrong people. Poor Lucie is a victim, a lovely everywoman who just happens to be a lifelong racist married to a tory politician. Those evil pensioners on the other hand are ALL active members of Palestine Action and probably Hamas as well. We all need to get behind poor Lucie - pref when she's standing near a precipice.

The left have been accused of putting victimhood and ‘lived experience’ above the common good and common sense, justifiably in my mind in relation to ‘identity’ rights. But the right seem to be taking over the baton. The individual must be allowed to say what they think having suffered terribly even if it’s not in the common interest or is against the law.

Thank you, very detailed. I read Dodsworth’s book too and, of course, Toby Young et al got a huge boost from the censorship, some of it performative, over the ridiculous and OTT ‘covid’ measures, particularly lockdowns. Via ‘covid’ dissent those already on the rightish were targeted with conspiracy theories about globalists wanting to control us by faking the climate crisis.

All this was organised by mainly US based interests in fossil fuels, animal ag, pharma, banking, tech, AI, media and arms (and now we know pro-Israel groups too). https://jowaller.substack.com/p/this-is-no-health-freedom-movement

Yes it is. How does one preclude the other, your argument makes no sense. Maybe you should take your case to the Union and see if they’ll take it on instead of trying to twist yourselves in knots ideologically like you are. You are being censored by your own side you silly ass.

Your own ridiculous ideology of locking up people for speech gets used against you by your own side and somehow you blame the right wing who are the ONLY ones campaigning for free speech at all. Where’s your lefty free speech advocates then if you don’t like the right leanings of the free speech union? Oh.

Err… they’re getting arrested and charged with terrorism for speaking out about their feelings on Gaza. Oh.

Campaigning for the right to incite violence yet ignoring the right to protest such violence is clearly not campaigning for ‘free speech’ at all.

Nobody I know of has been locked up for incitement to violence, incitement to “racial hatred” is an entirely different concept. Read more. And what name exactly did I call out in the comment? Libtard!

Boschkingninja's avatar

According to the CPS website she was charged with “stirring racial hatred” it is a thatcher anti nazi pamphleteer law used entirely out of context in my opinion. She had deleted it a week before any rioting, if you think she incited a riot, she did not.

And you think people should be imprisoned for being racist? What next? Sexists maybe? How about homophobes, that’s mean right, lock em up I guess. Why not just imprison anyone who says mean stuff that seems fair. Britains gonna be a utopia now the police are trawling through all of our lives on suspicion of thinking the wrong way, bound to be, problem solved, well done you.

Are your parents closely related? How hard is it to understand? You can make a tit of yourself online by caling people vile names. That is one thing. You cannot ecourage morons to go and kill those people. That is a totally separate matter. If you genuinely can't see the difference there is something seriously wrong with you.

People are not imprisoned for being racist, the charge is incitement, there is a difference

By your like maybe you knew it was “incitement” to racism. I don’t see how that isn’t in essence locking her up for being racist. I’m also terribly confused trying to work out what race immigrant is.

I love the press on a mum separated from her child (an act of her own making) then doing days of press which is hardly prioritising your family - She was a shrill before the tweet and is just back to her normal behaviours

I have never met Lucie but she does sound like a delightful turd. I can only wish that Lucie has an encounter with ass cancer as she yells her racist screeds from atop her genuine Tommy Robinson soap box (home kit version).

A better comparison, because Mother Teresa didn't really care about poor people, either.

MastiffSal's avatar

Yeah, Mother Theresa was a sanctimonious hypocrite who cared nothing for others as well (telling people to "pray away" their illness though she was raking in millions to help the people get treatment. Then when SHE got cancer, straight into an expensive hospital/hospice). They make a fine pair.

Egads, @Laura! You have put me to shame. As an "American" -- the US has apparently usurped that "nationality" -- I assumed Trump was a strong candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, but I now realize that your Lucie Connolly is far more deserving!

She could have Tommy Robinson, Piers Morgan (unless he's pretending to care about Palestinian's that day), Katie Hopkins would be up for an op to get her huge beak out in public, I'm sure. Oh the quality people she could find to pity and revere her "heroic stance", because no doubt they'll make her out to be some kind of martyr, like she chose to go to jail to make a point. Wouldn't it be sad, but ironic, if someone tripped at her front door whilst holding a can of lighter fluid and a lit match 😆

I read right leaning comments all day long but if I want to see calls for violence I come to the left. Anyone who reads through the comments here can clearly see the prevalence of violent thought. You people are not the good guys, you are disgusting thugs.

Funny how it was a far right thugs who shot a labour MP, no left winger has done that. You lot wrote the book and thuggery and now you are standing by someone who promoted arson and potential murder

MastiffSal's avatar

Isn't it funny how neo Nazis accuse the left of having no sense of humour, but when it suits their agenda everything is taken seriously? I didn't recommend anyone do that to her, nor would I have made the comment if there was an angry, whipped up crowd outside her home - which is what she did. It was clearly a joke based on what that witch had said, but as you clearly don't know the story and are just here for attention, your opinion is null and void.

And who murdered the Tory Mp. The other sideism is why your lot are Libtarded. It’s got fuck all to do with left and right and everything to do with hypocrisy. It’s the fact that you want different rules for your own side. We either can speak or we can’t but you want to have freedom for you but not for they. It’s unbelievably retarded.

You have no idea of my beliefs at all yet you stereotype subscribers to Laura’s Substack as being on one side and lump me in with them. You sound angry and definitely quite hostile - I don’t think we can be friends.

LOL! You are truly brilliant dear Laura, and in amongst your sarcasm are the expert hints and ironic facts that make you such a "good truth teller" through the BS (propaganda machine) we have endured. You give me the laughter during these dark and chaotic times we are living in. Thank you for a dose of the best medicine ever, Sharon

I find it hard to understand how people want to blame immigrants crossing water to get to uk. It is the government that people elected that should stop this. So stop blaming these people and start to confront the real culprits, politicians in power. Where are you all standing in front of Downing Street. That is where you people need to go, not hotels.

Just because you write it doesn’t make it true. She was charged under Thatchers, anti Nazi pamphleteer laws for incitement to racial hatred. Her tweet was deleted a week before any burning or looting, it would have been preposterous trying to charge her with what you are saying. Weird to be so uninformed when you could just google it retard.
