  1. ‘Mr Jones could be seen in the video appearing to tell a crowd in Walthamstow, north London, that demonstrators should “have their throats cut.”
    The video also appeared to show him comparing them to Nazis and saying “we need to get rid of them all.”’

    Maybe he’s planning the Shaggy defence? “It wasn’t me”. Trials in January.

  2. Damn shame Ricky, still, if you did say that it’s good to have an insight into the way you think.

    Fortunately everyone on the street I live on stuck together although there were a lot of people who were very upset.

  3. I’d be very surprised if he gets a custodial sentence, even though he deserves it. The guy from Hope not Hate didn’t even get a talking to for spreading that Muslims were getting attacked with acid.

  4. How did this violent extremist get through Labour’s candidate screening process? I’m concerned there could be more people who hold these views in positions of power, who just haven’t been stupid enough to admit it on camera.

  5. *“We need to slit their throats and get rid of them all.”* 

    As a reminder, he *did not* say this in private, behind closed doors.

    He literally shouted it into a megaphone (complete with finger across throat signal), to woops and cheers by people holding Amnesty International and anti fascist signs.

  6. This is the case that will prove a two tier system, nothing other than equal or slightly more sentence than the others will be correct,

    Imagine if this was a Tory councillor. Everyone and their Great grandmothers long lost corpse would be up in arms about it but because it’s Labour. They just kinda swept it under the rug. Imagine how many more are like him in Labour.

  8. SmoothlyAbrasive on

    Encouraging violent disorder that didn’t happen?

    What a joke. It should be perfectly fine to say that nazis need to be destroyed.

  9. Two tier liberal elite cycle lanes forcing pride down our throats

    And something about water bottle lids that remain attached

    No fast-track for him. Two tier policing at its finest. Welcome to the new, not so Great Britain

  11. NaturalInspection824 on

    Despite having his words recorded; and the record showing obvious incitement to violence.

  12. Why hasn’t he been charged with terrorism offences? He has encouraged his supporters to commit murder to further his political ideology
