John Tippler's defence barrister said: 'He has three grown up children and nine grandchildren and his behaviour has caused them great embarrassment'
A grandad chanted "there is no black on the Union Jack" as he tried to force his way through a police cordon towards a hotel housing asylum seekers.
Martyn Walsh, prosecuting, showed the court video footage of Tippler approaching the police line at around 7.30pm in February last year. Tippler was seen pushing police officers while chants of "get them out" and "f***ing rats" can be heard. Paul Wood, defending Tippler, told the court: "He has three grown up children and nine grandchildren and his behaviour has caused them great embarrassment. The defendant is in poor health with a wide variety of medical problems for which he is heavily medicated. He has issues with his mental health.
The initially peaceful protests turned violent when a line of police officers were forced back when members of the crowd threw glass bottles which resulted in a riot van being left unguarded. Mr Walsh said: "The police were faced with hostility and violence while the crowd forced its way through a cordon. The police then fell back into a stronger, more enforced cordon.
Mr Walsh said "a majority of the evidence" against those who were put before the courts came from footage obtained by a police drone, body worn camera footage of the PCs who attended the scene and "evidence gathering officers" who were "tasked with recording events". Footage of McPadden showed him shouting "we protect our own, you are not from Kirkby, these are t****. They’re hiding behind the f***ing curtains watching us now. Cheeky b*******" towards the police and the asylum seekers inside the hotel. Mills climbed onto the burnt out police vehicle holding a banner which said "let’s shout get them out".
