US Edition'Two-tier Britain!' Keir Starmer urged to sack Lord Hermer over 'signing off' Lucy Connolly prosecution
- In 2024, Northamptonshire childminder Lucy Connolly received a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence after admitting to inciting racial animosity through a social media post made in response to last year's Southport killings.
- Her prosecution stemmed from deleted tweets calling for mass deportations and showing indifference to violence against migrant hotels, prompting widespread condemnation and a rare approval from Attorney General Lord Hermer.
- Lord Hermer personally authorized the prosecution, sparking demands from politicians, including Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch, for his dismissal due to his controversial remarks comparing critics of human rights laws to Nazis.
- Critics argue the prosecution wastes resources amid early releases of violent criminals, with ex-Attorney General Suella Braverman calling it a "national embarrassment" and saying Connolly should be freed.
- The case highlights tensions over free speech and legal priorities under Starmer's government, and Hermer’s role raises questions about the balance between law enforcement and civil liberties.
