🚨BREAKING: Judge Guy Kearl KC just gave Jordan Parlour 20 months in prison for a Facebook post, while Black teens Carlos Neto and Lawson Natty, who killed white 14-year-old Gordon Gault with a machete, faced far shorter consequences.
Parlour was sentenced for posts that told people to attack a hotel housing asylum seekers during the 2024 riots. Kearl said the posts were meant to stir racial hatred and encourage violence.
Meanwhile, Neto and Natty were convicted of manslaughter after the machete attack that killed Gault in Newcastle. Natty, born in Belgium to Nigerian parents, received just 2 years and 8 months. Because of prison overcrowding and the early-release scheme, he was eligible to be freed after roughly six months.
The mother of the dead white teen was told one of her son’s Black killers would be back on the street in half a year.
One white man gets locked up for words that called for an attack. Black attackers who took a white child’s life with a blade walk free far sooner. The UK has gone mad.

The Government were happy to lock you in your house to protect the NHS but seem very reluctant to do anything to protect against the very real pandemic of rape. Though these cunts would probably lock women up at home and let the rapists roam around.

This is becoming absolutely ridiculous.
Just a quick update on the case, I’ve received a phone call from the Metropolitan Police informing me that the case has been dropped with no further action.
I’ve been arrested seven times simply for expressing my views, yet I’ve never been charged. Just endless stress, anxiety, and nights spent in a cell.
Having spent a week in Sicily, i have realised their is no point in manufacturing performance vehicles.
Simply put the average Italian behind the wheel of an 12 year old fiat punto.

I’ve just been released on bail, and the case they’re trying to bring against me is an absolutely shocking attack by the establishment.
First of all, I’m banned from central London, including Westminster, and I’m also prohibited from attending or reporting on any Gen Z-style protests taking place in the UK. This is absolutely absurd and, in my view, nothing more than an attempt by the establishment to stop me from doing my work.
Secondly, during my interview, they were unable to provide any witnesses. Nobody involved in the Gen Z protests came forward with a statement or any evidence against me, yet they’re still attempting to pursue a case.
My duty solicitor did little to challenge the conditions imposed on me and didn’t seem particularly interested in contesting them.
More footage of what happened today will be coming out soon. The whole situation was absolutely insane.
