Lucy and countless other non-violent patriots that have either been wrongfully imprisoned because of posting words, or arrested for attending a protest and shouting at a police dog or waving a British flag etc all demonstrate the irrefutable fact that there is no free speech, only permitted speech. So if you want to hit the streets with thousands of like-minded buddies and shout about how much you love terrorists, hate your country/Jews/’TERFs’ etc, you’re all good, because *that* is the subject matter and language which is considered ‘free speech’ by the U.K government and their Stasi goon squads. Oh, and ‘Muslims – good, Christians – bad’, as the goings on in Speakers Corner regularly illustrate;
”Britain today is sleepwalking into a two-tier legal system where speech is policed not by principle, but by political sensitivity. “Islamophobia” has become a weaponised term – used to silence criticism, criminalise dissent, and shield an ideology from scrutiny. Not individuals, not communities – an ideology. That distinction matters.
The police, once guardians of impartial law and order, now act as ideological enforcers – raiding homes for wrongthink, interrogating citizens for memes, and standing idle while mobs march with genocidal slogans. All while Christian street preachers are arrested, and veterans are dragged through the courts for tweets.
This isn’t progress. It’s submission masquerading as tolerance. The British justice system, once the envy of the free world, now grovels before a new blasphemy code – one written not in Parliament, but in the back rooms of activist NGOs and religious pressure groups.
Free speech is not a luxury. It’s the foundation of civilisation. And if we keep trading it away to appease those who shout loudest, we won’t just lose our liberty – we’ll lose our country.”

Who is Lucy Connolly’s MP? why is her MP not jumping up and down protesting about this appalling injustice? Prior to the introduction of twitter and social media ordinary folk could only moan to their mates over the garden fence or down the pub and nobody took much notice. ~People said the same sort of things in the past it is just that now they have invented social media and people can ”publish” themselves on line. It is as if us hoi-polloi are being punished for getting above our station and daring to publish our politically incorrect comments ‘on-line’.
In all of this there does seem to me to be a strong element of the ruling elite being in fear of the ‘hoi-polloi’ terrified of the mob. If we had just kept our horrid comments to chats over the garden fence it would have been OK but now the garden fence has become twitter and that is just too much and we must be punished and put back in our box.
As much as I’m behind this I feel it’s remiss of the people who keep reporting on Lucy’s predicament to continually fail to mention the many others who were also wrongfully imprisoned and are being made an example of by the authoritarian Starmer government. If we recall at the time, there were *many* others arrested and imprisoned, after no doubt being pressured and intimidated into pleading guilty because they couldn’t afford expensive legal representation.
I feel strongly that every other patriot stuck languishing in a cell, time that they’ll never get back, is being forgotten about. Aren’t their situations similar to Lucy? They’re all in the same boat and there for the same reasons, after all. But they deserve to have their names kept in the public’s conscience just as much as Lucy Connolly’s because I fear they’re all being forgotten about, their own individual plights fading due to lack of attention because the spotlight seems to be exclusively on Lucy.
Tommy Robinson, the man they love to hate.
The Lucy Connolly case and all the other cases are warnings to us. The warnings are designed to intimidate us into silence, and to try to make us to shut up while we watch our country and people destroyed. The warnings are the sign that democracy and free-speech are dead in our country, and that our mortal enemy now controls our government.
If the sentence is not overthrown we will know for sure the judiciary consider it their role to persecute people whose views differ from the line taken by the elites.
Well done to the Free Speech Union & Laurie Wastell for highlighting the appalling injustice meted out to Lucy Connolly and countless other British Patriots.
I thought the judge was supposed to be releasing her from prison yesterday or the day before!!!???
Just to remind everyone, this “Induce Trauma through Injustice” is part of the Marxist Frankfurt School 11-Point Plan to Destroy the West:
1. Create Racism Offences for Whites Only.
2. Induce Trauma through Injustice.
3. Teach Sex and Sodomy to Children.
4. Undermine Parents’ and Teachers’ Authority.
5. Force Mass Immigration to Destroy Ethnic Identity.
6. Create Confusion by Continual Change.
7. Empty the Churches.
8. Encourage Crime to Destabilize Society.
9. Create Dependency on the State by Welfare Benefits.
10. Promote Drugs, Pornography and Alcoholism.
11. Encourage the Breakdown of the Family.
And there is one ideology that has been working away at this for a while:
“If we can effectively kill the national pride and patriotism of just one generation, we will have won that country. Therefore we must continue propaganda abroad to undermine the loyalty of citizens in general and of teen-agers in particular.”

“To produce a maximum of chaos in the culture of the enemy is our first most important step. Our fruits are grown in chaos, distrust, economic depression and scientific turmoil. At least a weary populace can seek peace only in our offered Communist State, at last only Communism can resolve the problems of the masses.”

Totalitarian State.
The video report very nicely done. Thanks.
