'If that makes me racist, so be it' she said.
Wife of Tory councilor is arrested for racial hatred after saying rioters should ‘set fire to all the migrant hotels’ The wife of a Tory councillor has been arrested for inciting racial hatred after calling for hotels housing migrants to be burnt to the ground. ‘Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the b******* for all I care, and while you’re at it take the treacherous government and politicians with them,’ Lucie Connolly wrote in a now deleted post on X.
Her husband, Tory councillor Raymond Connolly, said she could not be racist as she ‘looks after Somali and Bangladeshi kids’ The offending post came just hours after the stabbing rampage in Southport on July 29 which saw three children aged six, seven and nine killed while attending a Taylor Swift themed dance class. The attack sparked a slew of misinformation that spread like wildfire online,causing a further escalation in far-right violence.
