Here is a fine example of British patriotism. I'm against 'boat migration' and protests are fine, but when you have people like this in their ranks the situation is hopeless. Liverpool Protester Exposed as Judge Tears Into ‘Mob’ Attack Robert Scott A Liverpool protester who claimed to be defending women and children has been condemned in court over his role in a violent demonstration outside a hotel housing asylum seekers. Robert Scott, 47, was told his record included domestic violence, assaults, harassment and repeated theft offences — while the judge highlighted that he has five children he does not look after. ‘Protecting women and girls’ claim ripped apart Scott was among around 150 people who gathered outside the Richmond Hotel in Liverpool city centre on 9 June. Wearing a Union Jack as a cloak, he forced his way through the hotel doors as a crowd shouted abuse, including racially motivated insults, according to Judge David Swinnerton. The disorder later moved through Bold Street. Scott was captured on CCTV stealing a Deliveroo bag from delivery riders near the Adelphi Hotel before posting footage celebrating the theft on TikTok. Judge exposes the contradiction At Liverpool Crown Court, Judge Swinnerton said the protest had been presented as an effort to protect women and girls from asylum seekers. But he highlighted Scott’s own history, telling him: “He has got domestic violence all over his record and five children he doesn't look after.” Scott has 44 previous convictions for 72 offences dating back to 1993. The judge said his record included domestic violence, assaults, drug use, harassment, actual bodily harm and numerous theft offences. ‘Save our kids’ slogan takes another hit A Facebook image linked to Scott showed the stolen bag alongside pictures of Henry Nowak, whose murder had sparked outrage and riots in Southampton, and carried the slogan “Save our kids”. Judge Swinnerton said the Deliveroo theft was intended to taunt immigrants and people from minority ethnic backgrounds, adding that Scott appeared to have carried it out partly for online attention. Court sends a warning after Liverpool disorder Businesses told the court the incident had caused fear and anxiety and damaged confidence in the city’s visitor economy. The judge warned that images of mobs moving through Liverpool streets did nothing to promote tourism. Scott pleaded guilty to criminal damage to the hotel door, costing £240, and theft. He apologised, saying: “I wish I never got involved.” He was sentenced to 12 months in prison, suspended for two years, with 25 days of rehabilitation activity, 100 hours of unpaid work, a 12-month mental health treatment requirement and electronic monitoring.
