The difference between how Ricky Jones and Lucy Connolly or Peter Lynch were treated is proof of a two-tier justice system in Britain. Jones' presiding Judge Rosa Dean sits on a voluntary Diversity and Community Relations Judges committee. How did she instruct the jury? How can we trust that she wasn't biased in favour of the Labour Councillor in her courtroom, and the Socialist Workers' Party protesters who cheered for Jones' call to cut counter-protestors' throats? How can we trust the jury was not contaminated by ideology, after previous racially and politically-charged rulings? Jones was given bail, and represented by Garden Court Chambers — the number one ranked barristers’ chambers in the country. Connolly was denied bail, and advised to plead guilty by her appointed defence solicitor. She has since been denied Right of Temporary Leave by the prison governor, as a punishment for telling her story to Allison Pearson. Jones made an imminent call for violence against an identifiable target, in the middle of a crowd. Connolly made a vague tweet about her indifference to violence being committed, before deleting it. The difference between Jones and Connolly or any of the Southport protesters is that the state endorses Jones' ideology, and so refuses to punish his call for violence made in a fit of passion. Whereas Connolly was given no lenience because she committed the unforgivable sin of noticing differences between ethnic and cultural groups, which the state thinks is far worse than any insinuation of violence. Jones was rewarded by the system, because it endorses what he said: to open borders and kill "fascists" (their political opponents).
