UK British Woman Caught Smuggling 49kg of Cannabis from Thailand into the UK Avoids Jail
I did read up on the case. Lucy Connolly was charged under Section 19 of the Public Order Act 1986 for publishing or distributing threatening or abusive written material with the intent to stir up racial hatred, or where such hatred was likely to be stirred up given the circumstances. This stemmed from her X post on July 29, 2024, which called for mass deportation and setting fire to hotels housing immigrants, viewed 310,000 times in 3.5 hours. The problem is the law is very ambiguous, on purpose. The law in question, particularly Section 19 of the Public Order Act 1986 is ambiguous because terms like “insulting material,” “intent,” and “likely” to stir up racial hatred are inherently open to interpretation. Insulting material: The Act doesn’t precisely define “insulting,” leaving it to courts to decide based on context. In Lucy Connolly’s case, her use of “b*******” and calling for arson against hotels housing immigrants was deemed insulting and abusive, as it dehumanized a racial group. But what’s “insulting” can vary—courts rely on a “reasonable person” standard, which critics argue is subjective and risks overreach. Proving intent to stir up racial hatred is tricky. The law allows conviction if intent is present or if the material is likely to cause hatred, even without intent. Connolly’s defense claimed she was venting anger, not inciting, but the court inferred intent from the post’s violent language and timing post-Southport attack. This dual threshold (intent or likelihood) lowers the bar for prosecution, making it vague. The “likely to stir up racial hatred” clause is again ambiguous! No one was incited to do anything, no one was physically harmed. The sentence, 31 months, was a total disgrace! -
