  1. Automatic release after serving a mere 40% of the sentence. Soft touch Britain strikes again.

  2. Served her time for her crime hopefully goes on to be a productive citizen after a lesson learned.

  3. It is an injustice that she was jailed and not Bernie Spofforth also.

  4. Edit: I made a joke about the compo face thinking this was her after being released from prison, but was informed it was after her child died due to hospital not diagnosing them correcetly so I’m editing it out but leaving this message here so people don’t make the same mistake.

  6. Pretty sure ‘racist’ doesn’t need to be in quotes here Daily Fail, she pleaded guilty to being a racist and served time for it.

  8. we are getting pictures of different people – which one is meant to be the actual picture of lucy connolly?

  12. Women given custodial sentence released after she’s spent her required time in custody… This isn’t some grand victory like this shitrag is painting it to be, this is literally just her regular sentence.

  14. Whilst I don’t agree with what she said I still find it absolutely crazy that she was sent to prison in the first place, yet violent criminals are free to walk the streets.

  15. It’s why you don’t plead guilty to jumped up charges

    Remember. Ricky Jones did not plead guilty for calling to slit the throat of political enemies and he did not go to jail, likely nobody lied to him about just pleading guilty to get a reduced sentence

  16. A modern Nelson Mandela, although she’d probably call for his death if he was alive. What a hero for angry, thick headed bigots everywhere.

  17. A nasty piece of work whom I guarantee doesn’t have an ounce of remorse and is now looking forward to a lucrative career on the grifter treadmill.

  21. Her post on Facebook was not racist since she did not specify or even infer any race/country/ethnicity. At most it was xenophobic. I would recommend people read the post that she was imprisoned for before commenting.

    Many law specialists have come to the same conclusion that if she plead not guilty, she would have been successful.

  23. One hopes she has had time to reflect on the stupidity of her actions. We can hope I suppose….Of course she’s a martyr to some….

  24. She’s served her time, hopefully she has learned from it, seen the error of her ways, and can become a law abiding member of society.

  26. Imagine being locked for saying something that offended someone, that’s fucking mental.

    Meanwhile shoplifters are free to do whatever they want.

    We live in a crazy world.

  28. Gotta appreciate a vintage compoface here’s me and here’s me in a wig photo.
