If there was ever any doubt about the existence of a two-tier justice system in the UK, the case of Ricky Jones just eliminated it.
Last Friday, a jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court in London cleared Jones, a now suspended Labour councillor, of encouraging violent disorder at a protest last August. Jones attended a counter-demonstration in Walthamstow, London, in response to a planned right-wing protest—one of many last summer, sparked by the Southport murders. Surrounded by his fellow protestors, Jones made an impassioned speech, captured on video, denouncing the far Right: “They are disgusting Nazi fascists. We need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all.” At this point, Jones drew his finger across his own throat.
Stirrings …
For too long the police have behaved like the Stasi.
Now there are entering the FAFO phase of a total collapse in public support.
YOU forgot that you work for US chaps.
You’re going to learn that in the next few months.
