On suspicion of encouraging murder
There’s activism and then there’s calling for cutting people’s throats.
A suspended Labour councillor has been arrested on suspicion of encouraging murder after a video emerged in which he appeared to call for far-right protesters’ throats to be cut.
Ricky Jones, who was a councillor in Dartford, Kent, was filmed making the call at a counter-demonstration in Walthamstow on Wednesday evening. He has also been arrested for an offence under the Public Order Act following the incident on Wednesday evening, the Metropolitan police said.
In a statement on X, in which a link to the original video was given, the force said: “Officers have arrested a man aged in his 50s at an address in south-east London. He was held on suspicion of encouraging murder and for an offence under the Public Order Act. He is in custody at a south London police station.”
Jones was among thousands of protesters in east London who took to the streets campaigning against racism and violence.
Let’s go campaign against violence by calling for violence.
A few protesters held placards that read: “Smash fascism and racism by any means necessary.”
In a video apparently filmed on Hoe Street in Walthamstow, Jones said: “They are disgusting Nazi fascists and we need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all.”
In a non-violent way.
But calling for the decapitation of TERFs is fine, as long as your signs calling for it have happy little hearts alongside the guillotines.
There, of course, is the real two-tier policing.
Exactly. Or, as we’ve come to know it, “Nothing to see here,” and “Business as usual.”
…and here’s where disingenuous assholes will point and go “See? Both sides, violent leftists” meanwhile one of his mates that actually likes getting his hands dirty burns down a mosque or a temple.
