MORE EVIDENCE has emerged of TWO TIER justice in the case of Lucy Connolly's case . CPS documents obtained by her show that Lord Hermer personally authorised her prosecution within hours on a Saturday , treating it as an "emergency case. " This was while the government was rushing through instructions to prioritise Southport riot related sentencing and push for custodial terms .
She was jailed for 31 months for a single , deleted tweet posted in the hours after three little girls were slaughtered .
The tweet was in some peoples minds wrong , but deleted just as quick , but the speed and seniority of the response raises real questions about whether she was singled out to send a message while inflammatory posts went unpunished .
This isn't about defending the tweet ( which i could understand as a mother) its about whether the justice system applied the same standards to everyone during that disturbing time and chaotic days . Thoughts?

“I Was Held Down by the Men as They Each Took Turns”

Mr. Lowe’s crowdfunded Rape Gang Inquiry made headlines by exposing the horror of Pakistani “grooming” gangs that have victimized thousands of underage white girls over the last two decades. The proceedings of the inquiry included testimony from the victims — now women — who survived torture and rape.

Girls who were as young as twelve when they were raped and abused.

During a Westminster Hall debate on an e-petition relating to the publication of criminal data, Rupert Lowe reads out an exhaustive list of shocking testimony from grooming gangs victims.

The referenced debate is unconnected with the uproar over the murder of Henry Nowak, but when combined, the two issues feed a growing white-hot anger among native Britons about the multicultural dystopia they are forced to live in.

@AllisonPearson @DCBMEP Some jury members will not convict those of the same religious persuasion,
That’s troubling.

@BillyPag2023 That sentence range is really ridiculous.

[Liz Churchill @liz_churchill10]

Wow…

The Henry Nowak Story continues to get worse…

The U.K. police wanted to censor their conduct as ‘online misinformation’ and were demanding that they continue to label Henry as the ‘aggressor’

If it wasn’t for X…the truth about Henry would be buried forever…

[Concerned Citizen @BGatesIsaPyscho]

🇬🇧 The British Police are on a recruitment drive to hire as many Muslim Police Officers as possible - with a Spoke-person saying “it will help people feel more comfortable - if please blend in with their communities”.

We all know where this is heading.

@BROKENBRITAIN0 What a numpty..

The Henry Nowak case feels different.

Most stories dominate the headlines for a few days before being replaced by the next controversy. Public anger fades and people move on.

I don't believe that will happen here.

Too many people have seen the footage, asked difficult questions, and feel that something has gone badly wrong. The case has struck a nerve far beyond those who would normally follow these kinds of stories.

Whether it leads to accountability remains to be seen, but one thing is clear - many people are not prepared to simply forget and move on.

The pressure for answers isn't going away.

A crown Court judge who sentanced ppl for Southport disorder has been assigned to judicate over Southampton disorder

A man who pled guilty for throwing a traffick cone has been told he'll be sentanced Monday and should expect 3 to 5 years

Thats 1 more year than the child rapist just got from the latest grooming gang convictions

That's your Labour party justice

Can someone tell them that we don't do that here? You can go back to India and pollute your rivers if you want.

Where are all the politicians who claim to care for the environment?

EXCLUSIVE: In 2024, counter-terrorism veteran Paul Birch quit the Met Police after 24 years. The breaking point? A mandatory "anti-racism" leadership course at the Met that linked British history to "atrocious Atlantic slave trade."

He told the MoS most officers disagreed with the courses, saying: “Behind closed doors some would say this is ridiculous.”

When lectures on the “evils of the British Empire” replace policing, is it any wonder we have a “diversity obsessed police”?

WAHRE WORTE❗️

JD VANCE zum Tod von Henry Nowak.

„Henry Nowak starb auf dieselbe Weise, wie eine Zivilisation stirbt: verlassen, gefesselt von Behörden, die ihm weder vertrauten noch ihn kümmerten und beschuldigt von Hassverbrechen, die er nicht begangen hat.

Sein Mord ist ebenso tragisch wie erregend.

Er sollte heute noch am Leben sein und er wäre es, wenn die letzten Generationen europäischer Eliten gegen die Politik des Selbsthasses und die Masseneinwanderung von Migranten standgehalten hätten, von denen viele den Westen und die Menschen, die ihn lieben, verachten.“

The founder of Iceland says that police arrived in 3 minutes to arrest a member of staff after a false accusation of racism and even cart them off in handcuffs but they don't bother turning up to arrest shoplifters. The police are absolutely useless now!
