About This Trend
Lucy Connolly is a former childminder and the wife of a former Northamptonshire Conservative county councillor, who was jailed for 31 months after pleading guilty to inciting racial hatred through a post on X.
She is currently trending because she lost her appeal against the 31-month prison sentence for her inflammatory remarks, which included calls for violence against hotels housing asylum seekers. Additionally, a fundraiser for her legal fees has surpassed $100,000, drawing further attention to her case. .
