She appealed and her conviction was overturned, thankfully. But the fact she was prosecuted and convicted in the first place is terrifying.

I really don’t know what is more terrifying that she was even arrested or a judge actually convicted her.

The English speaking world (Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the U.S.) have all lost their collective mind with regard to freedom and protection of human rights.

So the people who wrote and produced the rap song were not arrested, just the girl who posted it. Figures.

[neilmartin]

If i remember correctly, the person who was "offended" and reported her was a police community officer who was just searching through Facebook. Absolutely ridiculous state of affairs.

[ThePhantomdv]

Unbelievable. This will get worse if we don’t push back.

I'm in Canada. I was arrested in 2018 for saying Trudeau was a traitor.

If words hurt these people so much, imagine how painful a revolt would be.

[jonathonsmith]

Whoever reported that woman is a sad little person on a power trip

[yoshifodder]

The charge was successfully appealed, however the fact that an appeal was necessary is absolutely ridiculous.

UK authorities have completely lost their way and the judiciary is a complete joke - you get harsher punishment for what you say than what you on do!

[ChromeArty]

To all those saying she got it overturned... that is 1/3300 cases!!!

[MrSteviesmozz]

Your house gets broken into cops arrive 48 hours later, write the wrong thing on social media and the riot squad turn up in hours. Welcome to the UK

[clownguy]

British judges are as out of touch as the British political class, and even more arrogant.

[andyman]

write the lyrics? no problem
sing the lyrics? no problem
allow the song on all public platforms? no problem
post the lyrics? deeeep doo-doo

[ericwalker]

And anyone who was responsible for convicting her needs to do prison time.

[garrettgosse]

I think we should lock that judge up who gave her that sentence for 5 years and remove their license. that is just one completely unacceptable sentence. and they want people to call them honourable

[truthjunkie]

As an ex-serviceman I can say that I did NOT sign my life away so the government can do this to the public....I did sign my life away however, so people could have the freedom to say what they like, when they like and where they like. I may not agree with what many people say, however, I will always fight for your right to say it...

[zhuljinjager]

Genuinely worse than how they treat thieves and abusers etc
