*********** theorist jailed over hotel riot

A “*********** theorist” who abused police when an anti-immigration protest turned violent has been jailed.

Grandfather Peter ******, 61, went to the Holiday Inn Express in Manvers, Rotherham, on 4 August with a placard which called police officers, MPs and the media “corrupt”.

He shouted “******* and provocative remarks” towards officers and called asylum seekers in the hotel “child killers”, the Recorder of Sheffield Judge Jeremy Richardson KC told Sheffield Crown Court during his sentencing.

****** pleaded guilty to a charge of violent disorder and was jailed for two years and eight months on Thursday.

“Family man” ******, who recently had a heart *******, had gone to protest at the hotel against immigration, his defence barrister said.

He had “a general *********** theory against anyone and any form of authority”, and his placard referenced the “deep state” and space agency Nasa.

Video played to the court showed ****** “revving up” the situation before it turned violent, the judge said.

He was filmed calling the police “*****”.

His sign and protest was not unlawful, but his verbal ****** towards police officers during the “******* incident” crossed the line, the judge added.

******, of Burman Road, Wath-upon-Dearne, was a “full participant” in the disorder, the court was told.

“You were unquestionably endeavouring to the rev up the situation the best you could,” Judge Richardson added.

The placard stated that police chiefs, reporters, civil servants, judges and the Environment Agency were all “corrupt”.
