The wife of a former Conservative councillor is still waiting to find out if she’ll be released from prison, after appealing the 31-month sentence she received for a hateful post she made on social media following the Southport stabbings.
Lucy Connolly, from Northampton, was jailed last October after pleading guilty to inciting racial hatred over a disturbing post she made on X (formerly Twitter). In it, she wrote: “Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f* hotels full of the b** for all I care… if that makes me racist so be it.” It came on the same day three young girls were fatally stabbed at a holiday club — a tragedy that sent shockwaves across the country, reported the Sky.
