  1. What is two tier justice defined as again?

    Is it politicians vs people or is it left vs right?

    This is just a dumb outcome

  2. MPs slam our rule of law, eh?

    It was a jury trial.

    The rule of law isn’t about your feelings.

    You might not like it but if we change what juries decide because of feelings then it defeats the purpose.

  3. This isn’t going to help the debate, that’s for sure.

  4. Anyone who disagrees is performing impressive mental gymnastics.

    Arguably, Ricky committed a worse crime by actively calling for throats to be cut and calling people Nazi’s and Fascists.

    Lucy, said something to the effect of, burn the hotels for all I care.

    One gets threatened with remand if not pleading guilty, then in prison for hurty words which were deleted two hours later.

    Ricky, pleads not guilty, put on bail for a year and then found not guilty for the same, if not worse actions

  7. Let’s all not pretend that if this was someone screaming about migrants making throat slicing gestures they also wouldn’t be convicted.

    Edit: used the wrong word.

  9. Congratulations, you have brought the UK another step closer to civil war

  10. Well it’s sad to realise that if Lucy Connolly & Peter Lynch rejected the State-provided duty solicitor and went to trial, then they probably would’ve got off.

  11. we can all see what is happening with our own eyes.

    and it’s not good.

  12. I’m not saying I agree with this ruling.

    But Is it possible that if any of the people who pleaded guilty to a crime during the riots had pleaded not guilty and took it to trial may have also been spared jail time?

    I think a lot of people forget that the majority of people who were quickly prosecuted admitted to committing the crimes

  13. Went to trial, the jury found them not guilty.

    What do they want summary executions?
