‘Two Tier Justice’: Cut All Their Throats Councillor Ricky Jones Found Not Guilty of Encouraging Violence.
Jurors heard Labour trade unionist who said “we need to cut all their throats, and get rid of them all” is “neuro diverse” and was bullied as a child before unanimously clearing him of encouraging violent disorder.
A jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court took 30 minutes to return a unanimous not-guilty verdict for 58-year-old councillor and trade unionist Ricky Jones, who hit headlines last year in the wake of the Southport child murders for addressing a left-wing protest crowd with a concerning message.
Standing on Hoe Street, Walthamstow, on August 7, 2024 while surrounded by Stand Up to Racism, Socialist Worker, and Amnesty activists Jones said through a public address system: “these people don’t give a shit about who they hurt… they are disgusting, Nazi fascists. We need to cut all their throats, and get rid of them all”. As he spoke, he drew his finger across his throat.
Jones had been a Labour party councillor at the time of the speech and was subsequently suspended. He remains an employee of a trade union. Breitbart.
