Can understand being a jury decision. The jury realised things are said in the heat of the moment.

Comparison to the Lucy case, it was a double standard result.
 
Yes, it does seem unfair. She plead guilty I think though. I'm not sure if his union would be paying his lawyer so he didn't have to worry about defence costs, but it was a beneficial decision to plead not guilty, get a top lawyer, and hope that by the time of the trial outrage had calmed down a bit.
 
I think he also deployed the "Neuro divergent" defence, also known as "Doing a Greg" except it seems to have worked for him.

Actually, it's "Doing a Gregg." He gets annoyed if you get it wrong 😀

I have to say, I'm quite surprised Ricky Jones was acquitted. Using the words he did, while making the cutting gesture with his hand, I thought it couldn't have been clearer. Obviously though, the jury had a lot more to go on and decided, fairly quickly, that he wasn't guilty.

As for Lucy Connolly, she admitted her guilt, so the two can't be equated.

Also people went and tried to set fire to migrant hotels after she posted her comments, I'm pretty sure no right wing throats were cut, which makes his point the threats weren't credible correct.

Still, a fairly imbecilic thing to do, and I am also surprised he was acquitted.

The law should be equal to anyone meaning that saying ''lets burn these hotels'' should have the same legal implications at ''lets cut some throats'' butlegal loopholes, leftish people in general being a bit smarter or i should say a bit better in legal wordings has lead to many situation when you can say just a bit more as left-wing lunatic than a right wing lunatic.
Despite their not being an legal difference.
