Piers Corbyn arrested for inviting violence against MPs who back COVID restrictions
The brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been arrested by police in the UK and questioned on suspicion of calling for the offices of members of parliament to be burned down, the Guardian reports.
Piers Corbyn, a key activist against anti-COVID measures, was seen in a video also encouraging a crowd to “hammer to death those scum who have decided to go ahead with introducing new fascism.”
"We've got to get a bit more physical."
"We've got to hammer to death those scum, those scum who have decided to go ahead with introducing new fascism."
"If your MP is one of them, go to their offices, and, well, I'd recommend burning them down."
