Hello and welcome to the podcast of Lotus Eaters episode 1236. I'm your host Legolas, joined today by Frodo and Sam.
00:00:19.520
And today we're going to be talking about the release and continued persecution of Lucy Connolly, the flag result and why revolt and why the English are putting up flags to begin with.
00:00:32.000
So it should be an interesting one, chaps. Anything we need to add before we go on?
00:00:36.060
Other than the fact there's Lads Hour after this, and if you're a member on the website, you should definitely tune into that because it could be, should be a lot of fun.
00:00:45.560
Yeah, yeah. We're going to be exploring the life and trying to navigate the trials of Nicholas Thurthy Ams.
00:00:50.980
What does he do in his life? What obstacles does he face? Can he save up enough money for a mortgage?
00:00:57.900
Find out all of these answers and more on Lads Hour later today.
00:01:02.680
And with that, I think we should just get into it, chaps.
00:01:05.700
All right then. So, Lucy Connolly has been released from prison, but this is not a pure cause for celebration
00:01:17.160
The release from prison is not because she's been acquitted of all charges or been forgiven for what she said or anything like that.
00:01:24.080
It is because she has served the mandated 40% of her sentenced time in prison and is now able to be released on parole.
00:01:32.740
So, she's living currently outside of prison, but she's on parole, she's got to be supervised,
00:01:38.220
and she's still going to be the target of a lot of media attention,
00:01:42.320
as we can see from the way that the BBC very neutrally phrased this headline on their article related to this,
00:01:49.820
woman jailed for race hate post released from prison.
00:01:57.520
And to be fair, she was sentenced under inciting racial hatred,
00:02:01.720
but of course this is part of our two-tiered system, as we will look at later on when you compare and contrast this,
00:02:07.160
as many people already have, with the Ricky Jones case.
00:02:10.720
But there is more to that that I don't think Stelios mentioned on one of the segments,
00:02:14.880
or one or both of the segments that he's already done on it.
00:02:17.320
I'll just quickly say, if you compare that to the Telegraph's headline,
00:02:19.480
Lucy Connolly released from prison, former childminder was jailed over single social media posts shared in wake of Southport attack.
00:02:26.260
So, you get the Telegraph's, it's not like this is just objective, neutral trees,
00:02:30.180
like that's one way of looking at it, and the BBC went with race, woman jailed for race hate posts.
00:02:35.820
I'm just saying, we all know this, but the spin of the BBC was immense.
00:02:44.260
I love the way they're treating her as if she's some sort of paid up BMP member,
00:02:48.500
who's been skinhead marching down the streets, you know, screaming, whatever.
00:02:52.920
When, as we found out during her appeal back in May, she not only childmines to diverse children,
00:02:59.280
she also, I think, wasn't it that she sponsored a Nigerian to enter into the country as well?
00:03:05.320
Which some people were upset at, but, you know, that doesn't mean, you know,
00:03:13.800
She shouldn't have gone to prison in the first place, well, her husband is a Tory.
00:03:20.820
Oh, no, you're right, actually, you're right, yeah.
00:03:22.520
Yeah, actually, no, he was probably the one who suggested it.
00:03:24.900
But the point is, like, you know, it was one, like, impulsive post
00:03:28.160
because of something tragic and terrible that had happened.
00:03:31.200
And there were plenty of mitigating circumstances related to her own history
00:03:37.740
Even if there weren't, it's like, okay, you know,
00:03:40.500
some Welsh choir boy goes on a stabbing rampage and kills a bunch of kids.
00:03:44.100
I think it could be forgiven if people, like, react on social media.
00:03:50.220
But, of course, the state saw that as an opportunity
00:03:52.280
to start hoovering people up and putting them in prisons,
00:03:55.140
letting people go early or at least releasing them
00:03:59.140
to make room for all of these dissident thinkers out there.
00:04:05.020
I mean, the prisoners are out there literally popping champagne.
00:04:07.800
And one of the interesting things is that the reaction to all of this
00:04:11.140
from the mainstream was that this was all the actions
00:04:17.300
This was one line that was hammered home again and again and again.
00:04:22.980
Every time anybody brought up the political nature of this case
00:04:29.020
no, no, no, the parliament had nothing to do with this,
00:04:32.260
the political institutions had nothing to do with this,
00:04:35.480
this was all a part of the independent judiciary
00:04:44.040
Because if you actually go to the documents from the court,
00:04:47.700
from the judiciary website talking about this particular case,
00:04:51.500
here you see the sentencing remarks from the judge saying,
00:04:54.700
you know, she pled guilty to the offence of distributing material
00:04:57.940
with the intention of stirring up racial hatred,
00:05:01.160
which is different and a more severe crime to encouraging violence,
00:05:08.760
I looked this up through an article that I'm going to feature later on
00:05:13.040
But the case of stirring up inciting racial hatred
00:05:22.940
The state and the institutions put more moral weight
00:05:27.700
on maintaining racial relations than they do discouraging violence.
00:05:35.240
I had no idea, but don't read my article on the latest island.
00:05:41.660
oh, it's a number of cases, bloody, bloody, blah,
00:05:53.780
Right, so we're going to pretend that this is ideologically neutral,
00:05:56.500
even though it sounds like a Twitter thread from the secret barrister.
00:06:02.500
like, oh, the law is just infallible and totally objective.
00:06:15.240
are somehow magically immune to all of the propaganda
00:06:19.300
that they'll encounter going through university
00:06:21.840
and all of the institutions that they need to go through
00:06:24.760
so they can get credentials to get into the judiciary in the first place.
00:06:29.880
They're subject to the same shit lib atmosphere
00:06:32.460
of the woke universities that everybody else is,
00:06:35.320
but we're supposed to pretend that as soon as they step through,
00:06:54.680
Like, the innocent members of the public incentives
00:06:57.480
for those who incite racial hatred and disharmony in our society,
00:07:04.860
that will produce an Axel Rudakabana, isn't there?
00:07:08.080
A society where the institution's meant to protect people,
00:07:11.560
like Prevent, who had been called out numerous times for Rudakabana.
00:07:18.040
explicitly to prevent people from foreign backgrounds
00:07:25.040
because they've been turned into ideologues for extreme views.
00:07:29.360
But no, we've just got to pretend that, no, no,
00:07:31.740
if it weren't for all of these evil Twitter racists,
00:07:41.920
Like, he'd featured in, like, there was a sports thing,
00:07:46.060
Like, you know, like, he'd been brought in and given...
00:07:50.440
And yet he still went and stabbed a bunch of kids.
00:07:58.040
didn't actually understand what she was signing,
00:08:05.760
They're claiming there she pled guilty to that.
00:08:07.060
Well, a lot of people claim that she has never contradicted
00:08:14.380
and that that's what she understood that she was doing.
00:08:17.200
There are lots of contradictory reports on that,
00:08:25.980
Yeah, she said she felt influenced in Gallison Pearson's piece.
00:08:29.520
And these people claim to know her innermost mind,
00:08:33.900
she was in remand and she was worried she'd be stuck behind her,
00:08:38.300
She was obviously given terrible advice as well
00:08:39.960
because the other guy from Wales who pled not guilty
00:08:42.280
got off scot-free because he had to have a jury
00:09:52.600
she had deleted her Twitter account altogether.
00:10:00.500
It doesn't represent a pattern of behaviour either.
00:10:13.060
For instance, they go through WhatsApp messages
00:10:18.640
when it's obviously they're just scrambling for anything,
00:10:30.340
if you actually examine this woman's background,
00:10:43.740
how would the sentence have been any different?
00:11:41.320
that there's a really suspicious Muslim guy here.
00:11:49.820
said that she wrote something vile and inhuman.
