A Labour councillor has been suspended after he was seen saying far-right rioters should have their throats cut.

Ricky Jones, who sits on Dartford Borough Council, was seen riling up the crowd in Walthamstow last night as he railed against ‘disgusting nasty fascists’.

Speaking to the crowd of hundreds of people Jones, who is an organiser for the TSSA union, accused members of the far-right of putting National Front stickers with razor blades hidden behind them on trains.

He then launched into an inflammatory speech, saying: ‘They are disgusting nasty fascists and we need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all.’

This drew some cheers and sporadic applause from people stood around him, with some people looking shocked at his reference to cutting throats, before he leads the crowd in a chant of ‘Free Palestine’.
