Another bad day for the BBC – Trump brokering a Middle East cease fire – a terrorist group it might favour ‘Palestine action ‘ being outlawed – and the prospect of legacy media having to ‘consolidate ‘ to survive.

A non BBC story yet . If you use YouTube you might get fed ‘Brendan kavanagh ‘ . Mr kavanagh entertains people near the Eurostar at Kings X on the piano . ..
Well today mr kavanagh put up a video saying he and his wife have been arrested by 6 plod for ‘harassment ‘ – at his home address – in front of his 3 young children .
It seems -as a Catholic – he found a priest who conducted the Latin mass in his home . But he felt the priest was ‘dodgy ‘ and checked him out . Turns out the priest had been defrocked for paedophilia in Martinique .
Emails were exchanged – leading to a harassment allegation by the alleged paedo ex priest and today an arrest ….
The TTK system is alive and well . Im guessing the msm might pick this up because mr kavanagh has a big big international following on YouTube ….
Lucy’s law reform petition

“There is serious public concern about the proportionality of sentencing in cases involving opinion-based online speech. We believe imprisoning individuals for posts on social media sets a dangerous precedent and raises wider questions about freedom of expression, proportionality in sentencing, and the misuse of limited prison resources. We consider that alternative sanctions, such as fines or community service, would be more appropriate.”

For context, a 19 year girl who bought 12 eggs and gave them to Southport protestors got ’16 months in a young offenders institute, suspended for 18 months, 150 hours of unpaid work, attend 10 rehabilitation activity requirement days and pay £150 in costs’
Our government described buying these eggs as:
‘She approaches a group of boys and hands them the eggs, which were used as missiles and launched towards police officers stood at the entrance gate. This is a classic case of aiding and abetting – delivering the ammunition into their hands.”‘

The Daily Mail did not allow comments.
The BBC didn’t report this story. I suspect it crossed the line and showed how extreme the political persecution became.
Also for even more context, the girl who actually threw a milkshake over Farage – a terrorist act IMHO, especially after Jo Brand encouraged them to throw battery acid and a MUCH more serious offence than buying 12 eggs – got a 13-week jail sentence, suspended for 12 months, must pay the MP £150 compensation, complete 120 hours of unpaid work.
Welcome to Starmers fascist Britain. Anyone who gets noticed for not following his far-Left narrative is now ruthlessly suppressed. The National Socialist extremists (Nazis) are back.
me not an unalloyed “Brillo” fan – but spot on there….
It is a recurring theme … how many of any politician has had a real job outside the public sector – including all that charity NGO crap …same with the civil service – HS2 coming to mind for sheer waste and incompetence / corruption ….

STARTS It comes to something when a senior British politician has to visit a person in prison, not only to show his support but to try to protect her against further harm. Yet that is exactly what happened when Richard Tice, deputy leader of Reform UK, met Lucy Connolly at HMP Peterborough on Tuesday morning. I had informed Tice that, last Thursday, Lucy says she was manhandled by up to six prison officers to a wing which houses the most volatile and dangerous prisoners.
“Five days after the incident, the bruises from the handcuffs on Lucy’s wrists are still significant – yellow. It was obviously horrible what she went through,” Tice told me just after he emerged from the jail. “On Thursday, she was mistreated without provocation. Full force was used with no justification. She was starved of food, with no lunch or dinner, after the incident. She was denied enhanced accommodation to which she was entitled and they gave her, frankly, the Nutters Wild Wing – full of druggies and violent offenders.”
Previously, Tice has been outspoken on the case of the Northampton childminder jailed for an exorbitant 31 months after posting one horrible tweet on the evening of the Southport massacre of little girls. Demonised as “Tory councillor’s racist wife”, Connolly became Sir Keir Starmer’s “political prisoner”, insisted Tice. She was made an example of to deter others from speaking out on illegal migration, and to distract from the Government’s own failure to provide information that they held about mass murderer Axel Rudakubana which experts say could have prevented the riots that Lucy Connolly was accused of inciting. Tice’s hour-long meeting in jail with a “calm, thoughtful, impressive”, although clearly shaken Lucy, confirmed his suspicions.
“Lucy was gobsmacked by the way they treated her,” Tice reported. “You have to think it’s politically motivated. I think the next few weeks before her release are going to be very challenging. I think it would suit the authorities to provoke a violent reaction from Lucy. I told her to be very careful.”
When I started writing about Lucy Connolly’s case it was hard to imagine it getting any darker – well, it just did. Here we have a political leader, likely to play a senior role in this country’s next government, insinuating that the state – via prison officials – might try to silence and compromise a woman whom many think should never have been sent to jail in the first place.
Let’s take a look at the context, shall we? Early last week, Connolly moved from HMP Drake Hall in Staffordshire, returning to Peterborough prison (where she was first held on remand from August 12). She wanted to be nearer to her husband Ray, their 12-year-old daughter Holly, other family members and friends, so they could visit her more often. Lucy was placed on the induction unit until a space became available on the enhanced wing (as a prisoner of good character, she is entitled to better accommodation and some privileges including, believe it or not, a highly desirable TV remote control).
Lucy was led to believe that a room would be free on Tuesday, and she was glad to spot her name on a board next to H1/E1. That was rubbed out last Wednesday, but Lucy didn’t have any cause for concern until, that is, an officer told her they were putting her on A1; a wing that is known, and not affectionately, as The Bronx because it’s full of druggies, “spiceheads”, and is the scene of frequent fights.
“But why?” Lucy asked. “I’m not going there. Sorry, I won’t go.” (Her suspicion deepened when she was told the previous tenant of the cell they had earmarked for her was a woman who had died just a couple of days before.)
Shortly after, according to Lucy, she was on her way back from the gym when a group of officers – five or six of them – sprang out of nowhere and accosted her. “You are no better than anyone else here, you’re going to A1, Lucy,” one said. Lucy was petrified. She started crying, lent back against a wall and slid to the ground. Officers used restraining methods on her that are supposed to be reserved for violent or abusive prisoners not polite, co-operative childminders. They bent her over forwards with her arms bent sharply back. Her hands were tightly handcuffed. “I was in excruciating pain,” Lucy told Ray on the phone later. “I thought, ‘What the hell are they going to do to me?’”
She was manhandled up three flights of stairs with officers wearing body cameras shouting at her all the way. She was dumped in a filthy cell with what looked like excrement on the walls (an officer insisted it was coffee). While Lucy lay on the floor sobbing, some of the wing’s veterans began to rally to her aid, approaching her door and calling out, “Lucy, we know who you are, don’t worry, you’ll be fine here.”
“Lucy, don’t let the bastards get to you.”
One “Bronx” toughie arrived with a radio for Lucy, and yelled at an officer to open the door and give it to her. He did so without demur.
A shattered Connolly was told that she was on 23-hour lockdown. That means being confined to her boiling-hot, stultifying, curtain-less cell for 23 hours a day. “You’ve got 15 minutes’ exercise,” an officer said. “I’ve got an hour,” Lucy replied, asking to see a copy of the prison rules.
“Why the f— have they put you here on this wing, Lucy?” her neighbour in the next cell demanded. “We’re the ones they can’t do nothing with.”
The 42-year-old was given 14 days on Basics – no TV, no privileges. She can’t even go down to the canteen to have her meals – food is brought to her cell. “You got 14 days on Basics, Lucy, that’s insane”, one of the Bronx girls marvelled. Funny how the asylum inmates are saner than the warders, isn’t it?
Later that traumatic day, when Ray spoke to Lucy, she was sobbing uncontrollably. He did his best to calm her down. Ray, whose immune system is compromised by bone marrow failure, told me he hasn’t been able to cry since the Connollys lost their toddler son Harry in 2011 as a result of gross medical negligence. As he tried to soothe his frightened wife, Ray put a hand up to his eye and was surprised to feel tears.
If Ray thought Lucy was exaggerating the physical aggression officers used on her, when he visited on Sunday he was shocked by the livid bruises – circles of yellow, black and blue – around her wrists. The handcuffs were on so tight they had a struggle to get them off.
As Lucy’s quietly adoring husband, he feels immense frustration and a sense of profound helplessness. “It’s so unfair, Allison, why are they doing this to her?”
A very good question, Raymond. Except Lord Hermer, the Attorney General, approved the prosecution of Lucy, who should have got bail and then community service for a first-time offence committed online and swiftly deleted. Lord Hermer, bear in mind, was not minded to seek to increase lenient sentences given to sex offenders. Because Northampton housewives who collect Emma Bridgewater china, pose more of a threat to the public, obviously.
Why was a woman of previously exemplary character, well-liked by many prison officers and prisoners whom she has helped and befriended, treated by HMP Peterborough as if she was a knife-wielding maniac? Meanwhile Rudakubana, who slaughtered three little girls, is allowed access to a kettle and boiling water he can allegedly throw over prison officers; no kettle for naughty Lucy Connolly.
Lucy was told that the managers were “in a bad mood” that day because a girl had died, and there would have to be an investigation. The real explanation may be far more sinister, I think.
Richard Tice is surely right. With just two months till her release date on August 21 (Lucy will have served 40 per cent of her sentence), it feels like the authorities want to provoke a violent reaction from their infamous inmate, as if to vindicate their cruel treatment of her. Or maybe to give them a reason to justify draconian conditions attached to her being freed? They need Lucy Connolly to stay demonised, to be the “far-Right” thug Starmer imprinted on the public imagination, the Myra Hindley of Twitter – how else are they going to explain the fact that Lucy has been denied the basic human rights afforded to every heinous and scary jailbird?
Since November, Lucy has been entitled to apply for temporary leave on licence with Holly who is struggling without her mummy, and has been suspended several times from school where she vents her distress. (Ray, bless him, is struggling with a daughter going through puberty who becomes a teenager in a few weeks.) Despite repeated requests, and well-argued letters to the governor, Lucy has not been granted ROTL (Release on Temporary Licence) or home detention curfew wearing a tag. How can a woman of previously impeccable character, a childminder with glowing references from several immigrant parents who committed one “hate crime”, be denied those elements of rehabilitation normally considered so essential in a civilised society?
Many within the system are uncomfortably aware that Lucy is being shockingly mistreated. According to Ray, one woman prison officer expressed distress about what was done to her on Thursday. Lucy’s probation officer said he was under the impression that, by now, Lucy and another woman scheduled for release, had been signed off as “Open” – living in a house on their own, getting ROTL to aid reintegration with their families, even allowed to have a small job in a caff or a charity shop. Again, according to Ray, the probation officer said he was concerned to discover that the Offender Management Unit at Peterborough had “knocked that plan on the head”. The reason given for forbidding Lucy a chance to enjoy the normal conditions leading up to release was “media interest”.
Ian Acheson, the prisons expert, told me on a previous occasion that a prisoner’s notoriety should not have any impact on their right to temporary leave, or rehabilitation. But it’s not Lucy that justice officials are trying to protect from “media interest”, is it? Lucy is perfectly capable of eloquently telling her story to the press and the public, and that’s what they are afraid of. “I think they would keep me in here for a hundred years if they could, Allison,” Lucy said to me, half joking, half despairing. My fears for her grow by the hour.
Huge thanks, then, are owed to Richard Tice for using his political power to protect Starmer’s political prisoner. Tice says he talked to HMP Peterborough’s head of security who had met Lucy earlier. “He reassured me that he would fully review the footage of Thursday’s incident, and Lucy’s complaint, and deal with it properly.”
Tice adds: “If they have ‘lost’ the bodycam footage, or any of that funny business, then I will escalate the complaint and meet the governor.”
Earlier today, Lucy told Ray on the phone that she had been refused the enhanced wing because she had failed security checks.
Truly, we are living through what George Orwell wrote. Lie after obfuscation after lie so the rotten system protects itself at any cost. “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.”
“Lucy has had a two-tier prison experience – why has she not had ROTL when so many others have?” Ray Connolly says. “I don’t know who is pulling the strings, but something funny is going on in the way my wife is treated by the prison service.
“I am horrified by some of the things Lucy has told me. It’s strange, because Lucy just likes to get along with everyone and mother the young ones. As a family we are so thankful to Richard Tice for going to check on her safety – I feel reassured that someone like him is looking out for her.”
What an indictment of Starmer’s Stasi Britain. Normal people like the Connollys have to rely on principled public officials to take a stand and protect them against an increasingly authoritarian state, which turns a blind eye to frankly racist Pakistani rape gangs (to protect its voter base); who got away with destroying the lives of tens of thousands of white girls, while harshly punishing a basically decent white woman who, in her sorrow and her rage, lashed out in a “racist” tweet.
Tomorrow, an indefatigable Richard Tice will present “Lucy’s Bill” to Parliament – a “backstop” against harsh sentences which would allow members of the public to mount appeals against punishment they feel is too severe. It would permit a second opinion in cases where “judges get it wrong” and prevent people like Lucy being sent to jail. The House of Cowards and Clowns will reject it, of course they will, but they are on borrowed time. The British people have had enough.
And Lucy Connolly knows it. “My case is about so much more than me,” she says. Yes, it is. Keep calm, Lucy, don’t let them provoke you. Keep reading your book in the Bronx and don’t give them the satisfaction of seeing you wound up. You’re so nearly home. Nearly home.
Finally, a message for governor Mark Bennett and the staff of Peterborough prison: you really wouldn’t want any further harm to come to Lucy Connolly between now and her release, trust me. We see you.ENDS
