What you write, James, about the unbelievably vicious way Lucy has been treated, criminally in fact and far more criminal than her own actions, is true and justified, but, as a retired barrister, I have to say that my primary criticism is for the three unanimous Appeal Court judges who wouldn't lift a finger to address the wretched way the young woman was treated in the court below. In all my years of practice I could never have imagined that three Appeal Court judges could be so blatantly negligent of their true duties to Justice and equity.
I wholeheartedly agree with you ,James ,and Lucy Connolly's case ,alongside that of Peter Lynch and many others ,disgraces our "justice " system In front of the whole world. Activist Judges should be booted out of our courts asap. Political, racial and religious bias has no place in our justice system .Furthermore , denying bail to the "accused " was mind bogglingly CRUEL. Shame on the Judiciary !!
I would very much like to know whether Starmer, Hermer, Cooper, Mahmoud or the DPP had any conversations with CPS offices around the country about opposing bail for alleged offenders in Southport-related cases.
Obviously, the difference between the treatment of Peter Lynch and Lucy Connolly is blatant political bias. 3 years for something said online in the heat of the aftermath of the slaughter young children is very different than an elected politician with public responsibilities exhorting a crowd to personal violence. Gender is a big factor here as well. Connolly is contrite and submissive, while Lynch is unrepentantly self-justifying and smug.
