A Labour councillor who called for protesters' throats to be cut was today cleared of encouraging violent disorder - sparking a furious response.
Ricky Jones faced trial accused of the offence after he described demonstrators as 'disgusting Nazi fascists'.
The 58-year-old attended a counter-demonstration in Walthamstow, north London, in response to anti-migrant rallies sparked by the Southport stabbings.
A video filmed at the event on on August 7, 2024, shows Jones telling cheering supporters: 'They are disgusting Nazi fascists. We need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all.'
He also drew his finger across his throat as he spoke to the crowd.
