She's been got to. Her statement has been pulled.

The statement appeared to be a response to a social media trend by those supporting the violent rallies to ironically tweet #farrightthug about themselves claiming the government is ignoring the views of British people.

It was removed from the website for the Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner as a row blew up on social media, with many claiming Ms Jones had attempted to justify the activities of the far right in the UK. At a press conference last week, Sir Keir insisted that the gatherings by the far right were “not protests”.

In a tweet sharing the statement, former chief prosecutor Nazir Afzal branded the statement “totally unacceptable”.

Lib Dem MP Paul Kohler added: “I trust the shadow home secretary James Cleverly and shadow lord chancellor, Edward Argar, will swiftly disassociate their party from this deeply irresponsible statement from the Conservative Police & Crime Commissioner for Hampshire & the Isle of Wight, Donna Jones.”

It surprises me how many “politicians and people of authority” just don’t understand English I have re read Donna Jones statement and I cannot find any reference to her condoning the actions of the so called far right what I did read was an explanation of what may have triggered the riots (good on her) the revolution may be underway already if our government don’t take notice then on their head be it
