This Lucy Connolly Story From The UK, And Where Things Might Land

 Lucy Connolly was a Brit 42-year-old former childcare person from Northampton, UK, who was jailed for 31 months in October 2024 after pleading guilty to inciting racial hatred. 

How the incitement occurred?  Well....on 29 July 2024, three girls were murdered in Southport by a young juvenile lad.  Later....she posted a tweet calling for "mass deportation" and urging people to "set fire" to hotels housing asylum seekers, amid false rumors the attacker was an immigrant. 

The post, viewed 310,000 times, was deleted within hours, but she was arrested on August 6.  

The prosecution made a 'deal'....which she would admit guilt, and accept X-sentence.  Well....the judge decided there was no deal and gave out the most harsh sentence possible....to  set an example.

So she served about 40-percent of the sentence.  Back in July....President Trump took up interest, and this messy situation had to be corrected....so she was released from HMP Peterborough in August 2025 after serving 40-percent of her sentence.

Where things might now lead?  She probably can sue 'someone', but I would imagine there's bitter feelings, and politically....this is the kind of thing you can't really clean up.  Lot of Brits now feel like they need a 'freedom-of-speech'.

In the present landscape....there's also financial folks talking of a massive financial  collapse coming....toward the end of 2025 in the UK. They don't have a level of income....to cover the massive present and future budget.  Some folks believe a massive taxation package would have to come....on the backs of the wealthy and companies....instead of cutting the budget.

At the very least...a new national election in 2026....is pretty likely.  

With Trump around....he might go and utter that maybe it's time to bring a 1776 revolution to the UK....incorporating them into the US.  It wouldn't be serious but he's  said such commentary for Canada to be a US state....so it wouldn't be wild to think the UK itself could be made a US state.

Might be something to watch unfold over the next 12 months.  

This Odd Bolton Necessity To Use Classified Material For His 'Product'

 Customer X comes to John Bolton and say they need an assessment.  I'm guessing Bolton interprets this.....thinking some 50-odd page report will make them happy.

So in my scenario, he turns to get classified material (pages and pages) of mostly CIA crap, and DIA crap.  This is analytical reports written by GS-11/12 CIA guys who have a degree in X-matters, and were told by their boss to analyze stuff, and produce a 2-page report on 'something'.  The DIA reports?  Mostly stuff written by military teams (Navy, AF, Army).....with two or three enlisted guys summing up something an a Lt or Capt wrapping up the wording.

The odds of these reports being BS, or marginally of value?  Well....that's really a hidden problem which is often discussed.  You might go and read ten reports over a afternoon....finding that at least three of them are crap and not worth briefing your commander.  Some days....fifty percent of the reports you might read....are BS.

Bolton in this situation....probably has  more than a dozen of such reports....then cutting and pasting to his legal pad.....assembles some assessment....taking 10-percent of his report from some crappy CIA assessment, and 50-percent from some other secret agency with useless statistical data.

In the end, Bolton then sends his final product to X-customer.  If you read his entire summary....it might not make sense because it's words from several different reports, and Bolton assumes it's non-crap (when in fact, it is crap).  

X-customer believing in Bolton's assessment?  That's the odd thing.   You might ask the guy/gal, and they remark that it's lot of BS sprinkled around general facts.  Then you ask....was it worth X-amount, and they laugh....saying 'no'.

Here's the thing....there's probably 300-odd former government employees who have some clearance still open, and to pump up their retirement situation....once or twice a year.....they take classified knowledge or reports...selling their assessment to some non-US group/person.  

By Trump's folks opening up this situation....there is some worry (I would suggest) that they will branch out and start to raid other folks.  

The only thing to correct such behavior?  Raid, prosecute, and assess five to ten years of prison.....over and over.
