CRUELTY upon cruelty. Lucy Connolly, one of the most egregiously persecuted Southport protesters, appealed yesterday against her jail sentence of two years and seven months for a tweet which she deleted and apologised for. The Appeal Court did not need time to make a judgement. But they did. She still doesn’t know whether she’ll have to rot in jail with serious criminals for another two years. That the judge delayed making a decision – which should be obvious to any reasonable lawyer – is yet another damning indictment of our injustice system.
