It’s even worse than that, they’ve got a self confessed, convicted, racist jailbird mum. Social services need a proper look at this family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairly sure I read elsewhere that she had been posting racist comments months before Southport occurred and they were numerous in number . I think a lot of online posters have been made an example of and in some cases I question the validity of their convictions , I.e plead guilty now and get a “light “ sentence or plead not guilty and rot in jail until we can find you a date to give you an even bigger sentence , but I don’t think she is one of those .

In fairness I think for 99.9% of us it isn't frightening at all as we won't be posting vile posts that break the law. I actually find it reassuring to know that hopefully social media will be brought back from often being a cesspit of hateful bile as people realise that they can't just say anything on social media and that what they do post could well have consequences. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social unrest encourages judges to punch harder with sentences. Don't get caught breaking the law doing something that can be connected to riots, you'll get hammered.

It should be a fine and community service. Sending her to jail for that long is way ott. What she did was abhorrent, it deserved punishment that made her give back to the community affected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have a responsibility when society starts to crack, and it was on its way (we havent got the police numbers to quell widespread social disorder), especially with her husbands position in politics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Meanwhile the Manchester airport men that attacked the police and broke the police woman's nose are still walking free. This isn't about taking sides its about fairness. No doubt what she did was abhorrent but she's still a mother and a carer and has no previous criminal convictions and is no threat to society. This must be devastating for the entire family. It's not just about her it's her entire family affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not defending her or her tweet, she's a nasty piece of work, but its more about the inconsistency of the sentences issued. Be tough on crime, no problem, but don't cherry pick what you are tough on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
