Labour Suspend Councillor Who Called to “Cut Throats” of “Fascists”
Labour have suspended the Labour Councillor, Ricky Jones, who was front and centre at a not-so-peaceful anti-racist protest in Walthamstow yesterday. The protest came in response to the mass ‘far-right’ riots predicted to happen last night, though never really materialised…
Jones launched into an unhinged tirade, branding the “disgusting nasty fascists” as deserving of violent retribution, declaring, “We need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all!”. He finished his rant with chants of “free Palestine”. This call to arms was met with cheers and applause from the crowd—one of whom, ironically, was sporting an Amnesty shirt. Jones had been a Labour councillor for Dartford since 2019. He has now been administratively suspended from the Party.
A Labour spokesperson tells Guido:
“This behaviour is completely unacceptable and it will not be tolerated. The councillor has been suspended from the party.”
A quick response from Labour…
UPDATE: Jones has been arrested on suspicion of encouraging murder and remains in custody.
