Labour Councillor in Walthamstow: “We need to cut their throats! Free Palestine.”

Makes cut throat gesture, then holds clenched fist aloft. Simpering handmatrons in Amnesty tabards lead the applause.

This was Walthamstow last night. I know it is Walthamstow; I recognise the Goose pub and the sweetie kiosk which are on opposite corners of the Hoe Street entrance to Walthamstow Central bus terminus and Tube station.

The man is one Ricky Jones a Labour Councillor for Dartford in Kent.  That is the other side of the River Thames, a few miles outside the Greater London area in the County of Kent.  30 miles away, and not a straightforward journey.  But maybe he has or had family there.

Will Keir Starmer kick Ricky Jones out of the Labour Party for inciting violence?

Will the Metropolitan Police be knocking on his door, trundling him off to an immediate night court which will send him down for a couple of years?

Watch this space.

Lunchtime – Ricky Jones has been suspended by the Labour Party

I know the video has been refered to the police
