Ryan Bailey pleads guilty to violent disorder

Bailey, aged 41 of no fixed abode – but he states he is staying at the George Hostel – has pleaded guilty to violent disorder on August 5.

Prosecutor Claire Tresidder again refers to the footage captured by police which showed Bailey picking up a can and throwing it towards counter protestors on the Civic Centre side of Royal Parade, causing a liquid to spray out.

She said he was also heard changing with others chanting “say it loud, say it clear, illegals not welcome here”.

The court heard Bailey had previous convictions with the most recent being in 2020 for attempt robbery. She said before that he had “regular offending” primarily for dishonesty matters.

District Judge Stuart Smith remanded Bailey into custody and he will next appear at Plymouth Crown Court on Tuesday where he will be sentenced.
