It’s fine to believe that Lucy Connolly did not need to go to prison for what she did.
This is what I’ve said myself.
But if you’re having to lie about what she did, or excuse or minimise her incendiary racism, that rather says something about your real agenda.

There are many, many recent moments that I'd like to see all the people professing to be deeply outraged by Bob Vylan comment on. From columnists & politicians to the Chief Rabbi. (Perhaps they have but I can't find any...)

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

-Tell him in guttural terms & with clenched fists ‘Fancy a barney you mug? OUTSIDE NOW!’

He's the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X, and as of this week the "informal" head of DOGE, and he still has time to play on social media, scrub his timeline, and juggle a chainsaw.
Which all serves to demonstrate that a CEO's job isn't nearly as time-consuming as cleaning up after a toddler.
