31 months is more than most violent criminals get. This is why we need to strongly defend our freedom of speech.

The wife of a Conservative councillor has been jailed for 31 months after pleading guilty to publishing written material to stir up racial hatred after the Southport stabbings.
Former childminder Lucy Connolly published a post on her X account, which she later deleted, that called for "mass deportation now", and for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire, adding: "If that makes me racist, so be it."

Britain went from being the world’s most powerful empire to being the laughing stock of Europe.

FWIW I agree that Britain is going way too far with this kind of stuff in general. But comments like this are also a gray area in the US regarding its legality.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that "true" threats of harm are not protected speech under the First Amendment. However, the Court has also ruled that even "sharp" political or other emotionally charged speech is protected

That bit about setting hotels on fire may have been what got her.

There is a reason our forefathers rose up to fight the monarchy. And even more the reason they wrote the 1st amendment the way they did…..

Coming to the USA soon enough if Kamala and the Democrats win next month.

This can't be true. No way in hell you go to jail for 31 months for an opinionated comment on Twitter. Got to be more on this than that.

Its not free speech if you can be jailed for saying it. I get threatening someone but being jailed for stating an opinion is not freedom.

What's wrong with saying a few buildings need to go? Unless I missed something she didn't say anything about people being in them.
Can't believe she pled guilty. There's so much context a half decent lawyer could have put on those statements.
