The Babysitter Who Got More Jail Time Than a Knife-Wielding Drug Dealer



Title: The Babysitter Who Got More Jail Time Than a Knife-Wielding Drug Dealer

Move over international criminals—there’s a new public enemy in town. No, not a terrorist, not a convicted child abuser, and certainly not a habitual drunk driver. It's a former childminder with a Facebook login and a grudge.

According to recent reports, a woman was sentenced to 31 months in jail after making a hateful post online about migrants on the same day as the tragic Southport attacks. Yes, 31 months. More time than some violent offenders receive.

Apparently, badly-timed rage typing is now more dangerous than half of what’s actually happening on Britain’s streets.


From Babysitter to National Security Risk

This woman, a former childminder, didn't smuggle people. She didn't carry a knife. She didn’t even miss a CBeebies episode.

She just typed an awful, emotional rant that many would call offensive, some would call stupid, and now—thanks to the UK justice system—everyone must call criminal.

Because in 2025, free speech is less “protected by democracy” and more “held hostage by tone police.”


Meanwhile, in Real Criminal News…

  • Knife crime in London? Suspended sentence.
  • Repeat drunk driving? Suspended sentence.
  • Drug dealers targeting teens? Suspended sentence.
  • Random stabbing with “mental health” backstory? Community service.

But post an angry status after three children are murdered, and it’s straight to prison, no parole, no Peppa Pig.

You can’t make this stuff up.


The UK Justice System: Now With Inverted Priorities!

Ask the average Brit who they'd rather live next to:

  • A childminder who went off on Facebook after a tragedy,
  • Or someone who’s been caught with a knife twice and has a side hustle in stolen mopeds.

Nine out of ten people would probably pick the woman who makes packed lunches.

But the courts? They’ve decided that words typed in anger are apparently more of a threat to society than actions with real victims.


Final Thought: Babysitters Beware

If you're in childcare and considering:

  • Expressing a political opinion,
  • Writing an angry post,
  • Or generally saying anything online that doesn’t rhyme with “state-approved”

Stop. Step away from the keyboard.
It’s safer to sell nitrous oxide from a food van in Essex.

We’ve reached the point where the British state sees a Facebook post as more dangerous than a machete, and a former babysitter as more of a terrorist threat than the people actually killing kids.

And if that’s not the plot of a dystopian sitcom, it’s definitely the punchline of 2025.
