Lucy Connolly, who was jailed for a social media post made following the murder of three little girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport last year, has claimed she is United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s first “political prisoner”.

The issue was discussed by two Aussies and an American on Sky News Australia, who show their concern for free speech in their close Anglophone ally under Starmer's Labour.

Brits never were big on freedom of speech. We put it in the Constitution, and the predecessor Virginia Bill of Rights, specifically because the British definition leaned toward "freedom of speech the government approves of."
