The Green party councillor for Gipton and Harehills in Leeds was accused by the far right of taking part in rioting when he was trying to calm tensions
“People still are accusing me of being a rioter,” said Mothin Ali, the Green party councillor for Gipton and Harehills in Leeds.
It is true he was there on Thursday night when a police car was turned on its side, projectiles were thrown at riot police and a doubledecker bus was set alight in a night of unrest triggered when police turned up to help social services take some children into care.
