A stern warning to thugs using social media to incite riots has been sent by British Court in London on Thursday by sentencing a man to four years in jail after he admitted to inciting public disorder on Facebook during riots in England on August 9 this year.

According to the facts of this case a page was created by Jamie Council, 25 at the time of riots in England in the name of Bring the Riots to Cardiff, and later was changed to Bring the Riots to Swansea.

The Judge at Cardiff Crown Court said that the sentence given in this case should be a warning for anyone who is using modern media to incite riots and they would face stiff punishment by the court if they found guilty in these types of offenses.
