Ricky Jones’ acquittal to bring out the absolute best in all the usual suspects

A former Labour councillor who was filmed saying “we need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all” has been found not guilty of encouraging violent disorder after a trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court, bringing about a considered and thoughtful response from all the usual suspects.

In a decision that is set to delight all manner of social media malcontents, right-wing contrarians and moron-herding grifters, a jury has listened to the arguments and decided that he did not commit the crime of ‘encouraging violent disorder’.

“Well, this is perfect example of Two-Tier Keir’s police state!” explained Derek Matthews, one such malcontent who wasn’t going to bother himself with reading about the details of the case.

“I don’t care if it turns out he wasn’t actually talking about the Southport rioters, but rather some National Front fascists who had put stickers on local trains with hidden razor blades. That makes NO difference whatsoever.

“I don’t care if no one took action based on his words.

“I don’t care if the jury heard all the arguments and decided the prosecution had not convinced them beyond a reasonable doubt of his guilt. These are just facts, and we all know facts are WOKE!

“I don’t care that Lucy Connolly pleaded guilty to the crime of encouraging active rioters, and that Ricky Jones pleaded not guilty to a crime unrelated to rioting and opted for a jury trial – it is still ALL Keir Starmer’s fault! Yes it is, shut up!

“I will not let the fact that a jury of his peers has decided he’s innocent change my mind. I’ve seen the 15-second video, and that’s all the evidence I need to see him convicted.

“I’m now going to throw a wheelie bin at a police officer to demonstrate precisely how I am in the right on this issue.”
