The UK has gone mad
20 months in prison for a social media post.
6 months for killing a kid with a machete.

I read into this and your headline is a bit misleading.
Not that it's stopped people piling in with opinions.
Natty was charged for his part in the manslaughter: as an accomplice to his friend who has a much harsher sentence and has not been released early. I agree that he got released too early but your framing (or where you got this from) is misleading.
In addition, the guy who got twenty months for a social media post won't serve the twenty months of his sentence. For good behaviour, his likely to get parole and early release: as most prisoners do.
It also wasn't just a 'social media post.' He directly incited people to directly and violently attack a building housing asylum seekers. Several were injured and there might have been fatalities if the police hadn't shown up.
He deserved his sentence.
