Three men have been jailed after being part of the large-scale scenes of deplorable violence at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel in Manvers, Rotherham, on Sunday 4 August.

Gareth Lunn will have time to reflect on his abhorrent behaviour after he was jailed for violent disorder. Lunn, of Billingley View, Bolton-upon-Dearne, Barnsley, was captured on body-worn video swinging a bin at an officer, before picking up missiles and tossing them at the police cordon.

The 41-year-old’s despicable actions didn’t stop there as he was recorded in a group damaging windows at the front of the hotel, as well as seen throwing a shopping trolley at officers.

Lunn pleaded guilty to violent disorder at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court on 28 August. Yesterday (21 October) at Sheffield Crown Court, he was jailed for three years.

Michael Woods was recorded on body-worn video hurling abuse at officers, threatening that a nearby dog would ‘get’ an officer. The 64-year-old was seen aggressively shouting in officers’ faces.

Woods, of Ainsdale Avenue, Goldthorpe, Barnsley, handed himself into a police station after an image of him at the disorder was circulated in a media appeal. Remorseless, Woods denied any wrongdoing and when charged with violent disorder he retorted ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’.

Despite his refusal to accept he had done anything wrong, Woods pleaded guilty at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court on 19 August. He was jailed for two years.

Also present at the disorder was 24-year-old Scott Kendall who was seen launching missiles towards the lines of officers protecting the hotel and its occupants.

Kendall, of Sandymount Road, Wath-upon-Dearne, Rotherham, was identified after multiple members of the public recognised him in a police media appeal.

When questioned by officers, Kendall answered no comment. He pleaded guilty to violent disorder at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court on 24 August. Appearing on the same day at the same court as Lunn, Kendall was sentenced to two years in prison.

South Yorkshire Police

A man has been jailed for his role in the “disgraceful” disorder in the aftermath of the Southport stabbings.

A group of nearly 1,000 people were involved in unrest in Blackpool on 3 August, Lancashire Police said, with reports of widespread looting in Houndshill Shopping Centre.

Shane Taaffe Rhodes, of Lindale Gardens, Blackpool, was involved in disorder on the Promenade and later joined in an attack on JD Sports in the shopping centre, police said.

The 20-year-old, who pleaded guilty to violent disorder at an earlier hearing, was jailed at Preston Crown Court for 27 months.

Taaffe Rhodes was seen attempting to conceal his identity during the disorder by putting a face covering over the lower part of his face, police said.

Assistant Chief Constable Phil Davies said: “Taaffe Rhodes chose to play a part in the disgraceful scenes in Blackpool, and I welcome the custodial sentence passed on him.

“Violent disorder will not be tolerated in our county and we will bring those who take part in it to justice.

“Several people have been sent to prison for the disorder in Blackpool on 3 August, and more will be brought before the courts in the coming weeks and months.”

A 21-year-old woman, who assaulted a police officer during disorder in Southport earlier this year, has been spared a jail sentence due to “exceptional mitigation”.

Ellie Clarke cried as she was given a 20-month sentence, suspended for 18 months, for her part in a riot which erupted outside a mosque in Southport on 30 July.

Disorder broke out in the Merseyside seaside town a day after three girls were killed, and 10 more injured, in an attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on 29 July.

Large crowds fought with police officers outside a mosque in Southport, with additional damage and disorder taking place in Liverpool and across the country.

Speaking on Tuesday, Andrew Menary KC, Honorary Recorder of Liverpool, told Liverpool Crown Court Clarke had already paid a “significant price” for what she did that night, having been remanded in custody for seven weeks.

He said: “The footage shows you, for a time, standing amongst the crowd of people behaving like animals, shouting vile abuse at police officers and directing appalling racist chants at the nearby mosque.

“You understand how seriously your behaviour is to be regarded, as do others who have been dealt with by this court”.

Rehabilitation

Clarke pleaded guilty at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court to violent disorder, assaulting an emergency worker and a racially aggravated public disorder offence.

She was seen to strike an officer’s riot shield, an earlier hearing was told.

Daniel Travers, defending, said a pre-sentence report and psychiatric report had been prepared, and Clarke had written a letter to the judge which showed “genuine remorse”.

He said: “Clearly, this is a young lady who has, on numerous occasions in her relatively short life, suffered traumatic events, and has clearly got a number of issues that she needs to resolve.”

The defendant, wearing a pink cardigan, wiped her eyes with a tissue after she was sentenced.

Judge Menary said the court had dealt with about 70 people involved in the disorder this summer, and only one other defendant had not been given an immediate prison sentence.

He said the reports had led him to make an exception in Clarke’s case.

But he added: “This case must not be reported as simply you being a female and not going to prison.

“I promise you this, you would have gone to prison but for the very substantial personal mitigation available to you.

“It is only because of the exceptional mitigation that is present in this case.”

Clarke, of Chestnut Street, Southport, was ordered to carry out 40 days of rehabilitation activity and 100 hours of unpaid work in the community.

A string of men and boys have been hauled to Manchester Magistrates’ Court this week, with 16 so far admitting their crimes following the ugly scenes in Manchester city centre; disorder outside a hotel in Newton Heath; and trouble in Bolton. More defendants appeared before District Judge Lucy Hogarth today.

Two more thugs have admitted their involvement in a sickening mob attack on a black man during violent scenes in Piccadilly Gardens after ‘protesters’ flooded into Manchester city centre. A teenager has also pleaded guilty to violent disorder having being accused of confronting cops trying to control crowds, breaking through a barrier and snatching beer from someone leaving a Sainsbury’s store.

There was large-scale disruption in the city centre last Saturday (August 3) following a demonstration dubbed ‘Enough is Enough’. Counter-protesters also gathered as tensions flared.

A string of men and boys have been hauled to Manchester Magistrates’ Court this week, with 16 so far admitting their crimes following the ugly scenes in the city centre; disorder outside a hotel in Newton Heath; and trouble in Bolton. More defendants appeared before District Judge Lucy Hogarth today (Saturday, August 10).

Two men – Kane Kelly, 23, of Woodford Road, Failsworth, Oldham; and Daniel Hanslip, 33, of Central Avenue, Shipley, West Yorkshire – will be behind bars tonight having been remanded into custody after admitting their guilt in relation to the attack on a lone black man in Piccadilly Gardens by dozens of thugs.

Earlier this week, other men admitted their role in the sickening assault – including Liam Ryan, 28, of Thirkleby Royd, Bradford; Joseph Ley, 30, of Hollywood Towers, Stockport; Colin Demulder, 36, of Birch Lane, Longsight, Manchester; and Anthony Livesey, 31, of Moorfield Avenue, Denton, Tameside.

As Kelly and Hanslip appeared in court, prosecutor Karen Saffman said members of the mob shouted ‘kill him’ and ‘stamp on his f*****g face’. District Judge Hogarth described the incident as a ‘racially aggravated assault’.

Ms Saffman described the violent scenes, which were caught on camera, saying: “It’s a group assault on a lone, black male. The group is heard saying, ‘kill him… stamp on his f*****g face’. The male is then dragged away and then falls to the ground.”

The court heard Hanslip was seen throwing security fencing before joining a ‘melee’ alongside Kelly. Kelly appeared to join the ‘group assault’, the court heard. Ms Saffman said the two men were identified in footage from the incident, some of which has been published on YouTube. She described the clip as ‘disturbing’.

Both men will be sentenced at the Crown court on August 16. Addressing Kelly, District Judge Hogarth said: “This is a racially aggravated group assault in broad daylight in full view of the police and it’s well out of the sentencing powers of this court.”

No application for bail was made for Kelly, who has no previous convictions. His family members were in the courtroom when the judge ruled he would be remanded into custody.

Hanslip was also remanded into custody after his application for bail was rejected. Michelle Man, defending, told the court he has no previous convictions, has a well-paid job and lives with his partner, who was in court and was due to go on holiday with him this week.

Teenager Aaron Davy pleaded guilty for his part in the violent disorder in Piccadilly Gardens. The 18-year-old’s birthday was days ater the incident on Saturday (August 3), which he was accused of being ‘heavily involved’ in.

Manchester Magistrates’ Court heard Davy, of Liney Road, Cheadle, Stockport, was part of a large, chanting group who confronted police. Davy, who was wearing a mask, was pushed back from the police line and later broke through a metal barrier to get closer to counter-protesters.

He was then seen with a man snatching a pack of beer from someone leaving a nearby branch of Sainsbury’s. Karen Saffman, prosecuting, told the court, adding: “He was an active part on this day. He wasn’t just a by-stander – he wasn’t just observing.”

Davy was granted bail after the court heard he tried to kill himself last year. Claire Parrott, defending, said: “In reality this is a very, very frightened young man.” Ms Parrott told the court Davy’s family, who were watching the hearing from the public gallery, were concerned about an older ‘friend’ who took the teenager out that day, but said that the teenager went there ‘on his own volition’ and realises the ‘enormity of the situation’.

She added: “He states that he would never put himself in this situation again.” DJ Hogarth granted bail with conditions that require him to live and sleep at his home address with an electronic tag, ensuring he remains indoors between 7pm and 7am.

Davy must also not gather in a group of more than two without an adult family member there. The judge warned Davy he may be arrested if he breaches any of these conditions and put in a cell overnight. She also told the teenager that he may receive a custodial sentence.

Explaining her decision to grant bail to Davy, DJ Hogarth said: “What I’m about to say now makes no promises about how the Crown Court deals with you. This is very serious conduct that has made communities feel frightened and has made the police’s job more difficult.”

Davy will be sentenced by the Crown Court on Friday, August 16.

On Saturday, a 13-year-old boy was the latest child to appear before DJ Hogarth. The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to violent disorder after he was caught throwing missiles at police outside the hotel – thought to be housing asylum seekers – in Newton Heath. His mum watched from the public gallery.

The court heard he was ‘caught up’ in the violent scenes as the ‘hostile’ and ‘aggressive’ crowd gathered on July 31. The crowd threw glass bottles, bricks and eggs at cops.

Prosecuting, Karen Saffman said: “[The boy] was seen throwing missiles at police and the hostel. He was also seen with a group of youths hitting and kicking a bus with the bus driver and members of the public on that bus.”

Ms Saffman read a statement written by a bus driver who was attacked by the mob. He wrote: “The incident has left me very stressed. It’s made me scared to deal with members of the public because I would never have expected to experience this when I started my shift at the beginning of the day.”

DJ Hogarth told the boy she would adjourn the case and request a report from the youth offending service. He was granted bail with conditions that he lives and sleeps at his home address every night; does leave the property between 7pm and 7am; and does not meet in groups of more than two people without an adult family member present.

Addressing the defendant, DJ Hogarth said: “Very serious things have been happening around you and you joined in. We need to look at how serious that was and what we’re going to do about it.”

The case was adjourned until a hearing on September 17. The boy’s mum was heard saying: “Thank you, thank you so much.”

Others to appear in court on Saturday were:

Anthony Whitelegg, 40, of Mulberry Close, Heald Green, Stockport: Charged with violent disorder in relation to the Piccadilly Gardens incident on August 3. No plea indicated. Remanded into custody ahead of Crown Court hearing on September 16

Darren Butler, 41, of Cattlin Way, Oldham: Charged with violent disorder following the incident in Newton Heath on July 31. No plea indicated. Remanded into custody ahead of Crown Court hearing on September 13

David Whittaker, 36, of Farnborough Road, Miles Platting, Manchester: Charged with violent disorder in relation to the Newton Heath incident on July 31. Not guilty plea. Remanded into custody ahead of Crown Court hearing on September 13

Colin Brown, 37, of Moorcroft Road, Manchester: Charged with violent disorder in relation to Piccadilly Gardens disorder; and robbery. He is alleged to have stolen a woman’s scarf. No pleas entered. Remanded into custody head of Crown court hearing on September 13

A self-confessed ‘racist and fascist’ teenager who pleaded guilty to terrorism and assault offences has been sentenced to ten years and four months at Winchester Crown Court today.

Alex Hutton, 19, who held extreme racist, transphobic and homophobic views attacked a transgender woman using mixed martial arts moves that left the victim hospitalised and with the imprint of his trainer on her face.

Hutton was subject to a Criminal Behaviour Order restricting his use of the internet and mobile phones after previous convictions for possessing terrorist documents and publishing statements that encouraged terrorism.

Police used their powers under the Criminal Behaviour Order to investigate his phone use and found he had distributed a litany of extreme videos, which encouraged and glorified acts of terrorism. These included references to ‘cleansing London’ of non-whites and Islamophobic, anti-Semitic, homophobic and transphobic messages. He also shared Nazi extremism and racist videos from the Ku Klux Klan, and bragged about planning terrorist attacks.

He shared messages on Instagram and messaging app Telegram where he spoke of wanting to kill anybody who wasn’t white.

Bethan David, Head of Counter Terrorism Division at the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “Alex Hutton is not simply a fantasist that held extreme views, he is a dangerous young man.

“His unprovoked attack was driven by hate and he poses a substantial risk to other groups and society as a whole.

“He celebrated terrorist acts of white supremacy and encouraged his friends and associates on various social media and messaging platforms to join him in his extreme and disturbing views.

“The CPS will always prosecute those who encourage acts of terrorism and hate to protect the public.”

Detective Chief Inspector Leanne Williams, Head of Investigations at Counter Terrorism Policing Wales, said: “We welcome the outcome of this case. Alex Hutton, motivated by hate, engaged in a horrendous and unprovoked attack on a defenceless young girl who was minding her own business one afternoon in a Swansea park in May 2023.

“There is no doubt that the attack will have lasting effects on this young person and I really hope today’s outcome provides her with some comfort.

“Furthermore, Hutton demonstrated a clear intention to spread his hatred across the internet encouraging acts of terrorism. Officers from Counter Terrorism Policing Wales uncovered his actions during a detailed investigation, which then led us to the assault that took place earlier in the year.

“I hope he now uses the time in custody to reflect on his actions, with a view to leading a far more productive life upon his eventual release.”

Nine people have appeared in court following their part in the unrest in the Nottingham City Centre on Saturday 3 August. They were among 20 people arrested for their conduct during the far-right rally and counter protest in the city.

Hearings have been taking place at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court in the weeks following the events in the centre of Nottingham.

Janine McKinney from the Crown Prosecution Service said: “The arrests, charges, convictions and sentences we have seen over the last weeks make clear the consequences for those criminals on our streets and on social media. These individuals have paid the penalty that awaits anyone caught wreaking such havoc.

“We will continue to work at pace, alongside partners in the criminal justice system, to put anyone whose conduct has crossed the line into criminal behaviour before the courts to face the full consequences of their actions.”

Paul Dixon, 35, Tony Campion, 29, David Witney, 39, and Dominic Lane, 46, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court to face charges of using threatening words or behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke violence for their part in an escalation of hostility involving an Asian male victim. Dixon pleaded guilty on 15 August and Campion pleaded guilty at a hearing on 16 August. Both were sentenced to four months’ imprisonment. Witney pleaded guilty on 22 August and was given a three-month sentence, suspended for 18 months. He was ordered to complete 200 hours’ unpaid work, attend five days’ rehabilitation requirement, complete a six-month alcohol treatment programme and to engage with the probation service. Lane pleaded not guilty and will face trial in October. A fifth defendant, Keith Edwards, 81, was also charged in relation to this incident and will appear at the same court on 6 September.

Anthony Chadwick, 36, from Nottingham appeared on 22 August for using threatening words or behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke violence. Chadwick came to the protest drunk, shouted threats of violence to police officers and tried to hype up the people around him. He was fined £365.

Kevin Musgrave, 37, from West Hallam in Derbyshire appeared on 15 August for assaulting an emergency worker and criminal damage. He tried to obstruct police officers from making an arrest when things threatened to boil over into violence. He pushed a police officer to the ground and spat in the police van and in his cell after he was arrested. He appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court, pleaded guilty and was given a 12-week prison sentence, suspended for a year and ordered to do 100 hours of unpaid work and to pay £150 in compensation.

Joshua Witts, 36, from Long Eaton, appeared at Derby Magistrates’ Court on 20 August, pleading guilty to using threatening words or behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke unlawful violence. He will be sentenced on 27 August.

Owen Lawrence, 18, from Nottingham and Mervyn Lewis, 40, from Edwalton also appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on 15 August and pleaded not guilty. Their cases were adjourned for trial later in the year.

These court appearances follow the conviction and sentencing of Victoria Gray on Monday 3 August.

Joshua Witts was in Nottingham when rival groups clashed in Old Market Square

The latest protester to appear in court following a face-off between rival groups in Nottingham’s Old Market Square is also a convicted burglar. Joshua Witts was one of eight people arrested and charged when far-right supporters congregated in Old Market Square and were met by a counter-protest near the Brian Clough statue on Saturday, August 3.

During the Nottingham incident, disorder threatened to boil over as the two opposing groups were separated by Nottinghamshire Police . Today, Tuesday, August 20, the 36-year-old, of Long Eaton, pleaded guilty to a public order offence in relation to the incident when he appeared from custody at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court.

But Sanjay Jerath, prosecuting, said Witts is also due to be sentenced at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court next week for burgling a property in Station Road, Sandiacre, on February 22, this year.

He said the defendant, of Firs Street, has already pleaded guilty to that charge and a pre-sentence report has been prepared ahead of a sentencing hearing in Derby on the afternoon of August 27.

Therefore, District Judge Sunil Khanna adjourned all matters to be heard in front of District Judge Andrew Meachin next week and remanded him into custody until then.

Previously, Victoria Gray, 42, of High Lane East, West Hallam, has been sentenced for her part in the disorder. After being arrested she shouted a series of racist and homophobic comments and then spat on one of the officers arresting her. The court was told she had also been in possession of pepper spray, which is illegal to carry in a public space.

Gray pleaded guilty to all five charges and was given a six-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months and ordered to attend 15 days of rehabilitation activity. She was also fined £200 for the racially aggravated harassment, an increase from £100 as it was identified as a hate crime.

Another protester, Kevin Musgrave, 37, also of High Lane East, West Hallam, was handed a 12-week suspended prison sentence and 100 hours of unpaid work after pleading guilty to assaulting an emergency worker and criminal damage.

The remaining people charged following the protests in Nottingham are:

Antony Chadwick, 36, of Nuthall Road, Leen Valley, Nottingham – charged under Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986
Ibrahim Omar, 24, of Glapton Road, The Meadows, Nottingham – charged with possession of a Class B drug
Dominic Lane, 46, of Repton Road, Bulwell – charged under Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986
Owen Lawrence, aged 18, of no fixed address. Charged under Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986
Mervin Lewis, aged 40, of Oughton Close, Edwalton. Charged under Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986

In a previous statement following the disturbances, Deputy Chief Constable Steve Cooper said: “The vast majority of the public who attended carried out their right to protest in a peaceful manner. Those who were intent on causing problems were dealt with robustly.

“It should be repeated that anyone who comes into the city or our neighbourhoods over the coming days to cause any kind of disorder can expect a robust response from us. It simply won’t be tolerated.”

A man who threatened to use a dog to attack police officers outside a South Yorkshire hotel during rioting has been jailed for two years.

Large-scale disorder saw more than 60 police officers left injured when the Holiday Inn Express in Manvers, Rotherham, was attacked on 4 August.

Michael Woods, 64, was captured on body-worn video telling police the animal would “get you” if the officers hit him with their batons, Sheffield Crown Court heard.

Woods, of Ainsdale Avenue, Goldthorpe, previously pleaded guilty to a charge of violent disorder.

During a short video played to the court, Woods is seen shouting at officers while standing next to a man with a dog.

The officers are standing in front of the hotel during the footage, with some of the building’s windows pictured broken.

More than 200 asylum seekers and about 25 members of staff were inside the hotel at the time.

“Police were trying to bring the increasingly hostile crowds under control,” prosecutors told the court.

During the footage, Woods tells an officer: “I live here mate, go back to where you’ve come from.

“We live here, have some respect for English people young man, you are a disgrace to society.”

“You hit me, it gets you,” he adds, referring to the dog.

There was no physical violence from the defendant, his defence barrister told the hearing.

Addressing Woods, The Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Jeremy Richardson KC, said: “I cannot ignore the fact you were part of the larger group indulging in this major civil disorder.”

“It was ignorant – it was not only offensive, it was also threatening in the midst of major public disorder.”

A second man, 24-year-old Scott Kendall, was also sentenced to two years in prison after admitting violent disorder.

The father-of-one, of Sandymount Road, Wath-upon-Dearne, was filmed throwing a bottle towards police officers while they protected themselves with riot shields.

References sent to the court from his employer described him as a “much liked” member of a plastering company, the court heard.

The judge asked Kendall’s barrister: “What on Earth is a young man like this doing?”

“He’s thrown away his good character,” the barrister replied.

Addressing Kendall, the judge added: “What a dreadful example you are to [his son].”

A man has been jailed for violent disorder during a riot over the summer.

Alfie Holdsworth, 20, from Gateshead, was sentenced to 14 months in prison at Teesside Crown Court.

Cleveland Police said he had been seen kicking a lone victim twice while he was on the ground, during a night of disorder in Middlesbrough on 4 August.

The unrest had spread from an afternoon protest at the town’s cenotaph, and was described by officers at the time as “staggering”.

Large scale disorder broke out across the country after three young children were killed in Southport

They were days that will live in infamy in Greater Manchester’s history. Division and chaos reigned.

The deaths of three young girls in Southport led to a wave of disorder throughout the UK, and Manchester did not avoid such trouble. Wholly inaccurate claims about the identity and ethnicity of the alleged attacker spread online.

Fuelled by anger and inspired by disinformation, thugs took to the streets intent on causing trouble. Disorder erupted outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in Newton Heath, on July 31, after a Facebook post swirled that afternoon.

“Let’s get them out,” it menacingly declared. Missiles were thrown towards the building, a bus was attacked and its driver injured, and asylum seekers, vulnerable individuals seeking help, were terrorised.

The far-right sought to capitalise on the division and called a demonstration for Manchester city centre on Saturday, August 3. The incident soon turned violent. Shocking video footage emerged of a lone black man being attacked by a baying mob.

Thugs then advanced down Mosley Street and stormed a Sainsbury’s store as innocent customers tried to shop. A vape store came under heavy attack, as yobs kicked its windows with a road sign being launched at it.

The following day, the trouble moved to Bolton. Another demonstration had been called by the far-right, with counter-protestors also present. Missiles were thrown as police dealt with mass disorder. Ever since, police have been tracking down and charging rioters.

Over the past three months, dozens of yobs have felt the full force of the law as their cases were speedily brought through the courts. The M.E.N. has extensively covered the ensuing court cases, and have now analysed the sentences handed down since August.

Of those in the dock, 39 were men, six were women and seven were children, the youngest being a 12-year-old boy. Jail sentences totalling more than 80 years have been handed down. The longest single jail sentence was imposed on a ‘violent racist’ for his part in a disgraceful attack in Piccadilly Gardens.

In chronological order from August until this month, here are the 52 rioters who faced justice.
