Following the release of a movie in which the suspended Workers councillor demanded aggressive action against anti-immigration protesters and said their” throats may be cut,” a placed Labour councillor has been detained on suspicion of encouraging murder.
Councillor in Dartford, Kent, Ricky Jones, was recorded on video during a rally that took place in Walthamstow, west London on Wednesday night, organised to prevent the far-right from targeting hospital facilities and the headquarters of attorneys helping asylum seekers, The Independent reported.
Jones said in the address,” We need to reduce all of their necks and eradicate them.” Following his comment, he proceeded to establish a song among the crowd, repeating “free, completely Palestine”.
He has been detained in connection with the incident, according to the Metropolitan Police, who confirmed that. ” Commanders have arrested a man aged in his 50s at an address in south-east London”. A speech was posted on X by the Metropolitan Police.
” He was detained on suspicion of encouraging crime and a people get offense.” He is in prison at a north London policeman place”, they added.
Nigel Farage, the head of Reform UK, wrote in a post on X that Jones may be detained after the video was released. In a tweet, Farage said,” This person should be arrested. If no, we know there is two-tier policing”.
This behavior will not be tolerated, according to a Labour director. The council has received a party suspension.
