_Derek Drummond, 58, of Southport, has today indicated guilty pleas to violent disorder and assault by beating of an emergency worker at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court.
Joshua Sanderson-Kirk, prosecuting, said PC Thomas Ball was deployed to the mosque on St Luke’s Road, Southport, on July 30, where a group of around 300 people arrived shouting “this is our f****** country” and “scumbag bastards”.
The court heard officers had to withdraw for fear of being overwhelmed.
PC Ball stood to protect colleagues as they tried to put on riot gear when Drummond became violent, shouting “shithouses” and moved towards him, punching him in the face, Mr Sanderson-Kirk said.
Bricks were later thrown after a garden wall was broken down, the court was told. Short clips of footage from a body-worn camera and the police helicopter were shown to the court.
No application for bail was made and District Judge Timothy Boswell remanded Drummond in custody for sentencing at Liverpool Crown Court on August 29._
I'm guessing Derek will see his 60th birthday behind bars. You'd imagine this will start to die down now people start going to jail. Staggering levels of stupidity on show.
Never mind his country, it will be a while before he gets his liberty back.
