Amid the mainstream media’s demonization of anti-immigration protesters in the UK, viral footage reveals a Labour councillor calling for their murder — while an Amnesty International staff member cheers.
At the time of publication, the human rights group has not issued a statement condemning the staffer’s behaviour, while the Dartford Labour councillor, Ricky Jones, has been arrested.
Jones has also been suspended from the Labour Party for issuing threats at the counter-demonstration in Walthamstow, East London.
In the video, Jones is seen inside a cheering crowd, calling for the mass murder of anti-immigration protesters, saying, “We need to cut all their throats and get rid of them.”
He also led the crowd in chanting “Free, free Palestine.”
The Labour Party has since deemed his conduct “completely unacceptable” and suspended him.
Standing right next to Jones is an Amnesty UK worker who smiles at his comment and claps.
Amid race riots rocking the UK, the director of public prosecutions of England and Wales issued a dystopian warning to citizens, stating that merely retweeting a social media post that’s “insulting” to an ethnic group could lead to criminal charges.
The director’s comments come after videos were posted on social media capturing riots that have ignited since a 17-year-old man went on a stabbing spree at a children’s dance event in a small northwest England town. Police haven’t identified the motivation for the heinous act that killed three children and injured several others.
A number of social media users assumed the attack was by an Islamic extremist immigrant. A judge subsequently released the name of the attacker in an attempt to quell the riots: Axel Rudakubana, a 17-year-old male born in the United Kingdom to Rwandan parents.
