2 tier justice in UK. It's official. Ricky Jones let off

[SunnyinBangrak]

Well, it had been forecast by the more informed and rational forumers that Jones would be let off for his clear incitement to violence - encouraging his supporters to slash conservatives throats. Unlike mean tweet conservatives who were banged up for years for offenses a million times less severe.

 

I think we can all agree now the UK has 2 tier justice. Soft for the left, draconian for the rest of us. Disgusting.

 

"A suspended Labour councillor who said far-Right activists’ throats should be cut thanked jurors after they cleared him of encouraging violent disorder.

Ricky Jones, 58, faced trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court accused of the offence after he described demonstrators as “disgusting Nazi fascists”."

It was a trial and the jury acquitted him; blame the jury or inept prosecution rather than the justice system.

 the prosecution looks to minimise the violent  hate speech  cause it was about a rightwinger,right?

He was charged, remanded in custody, and, eventually, acquitted by a jury of his peers.  How is that two-tier justice?
