Labour councillor arrested after inciting hoaxed 'counter-protests' by saying: "We should cut their throats"

And Hope Not Hate's Nick Lowles admits list of so-called "EDL" protests was fake as media headlines proved to be false

LABOUR Councillor for Dartford Ricky Jones has been arrested for calling on protestors to “cut people’s throats”.

And Nick Lowles, of the group ‘Hope Not Hate” says on Twitter that a list leaked to police and media about roughly 100 alleged ‘EDL/Far Right’ protests, was a ‘hoax’.

Front pages of the mainstream media on Thursday morning celebrated how they thought so-called ‘counter-protests’ had deterred people from protesting.

But that was not true.
