A good sentence handed down for this rioter who stoked the fire at the hotel, and attacked police; 9 years in prison followed by a 5-year licence period.

I’ve lost count of the number of accused whose defence included the assertion that they did not intend to take part in any disorder and only came across it by chance.

Clearly he has no remorse for his actions, having told the police who arrested him that ‘throwing missiles and stoking the fire was for a "good cause" despite about 200 asylum seekers plus hotel staff being trapped in the besieged building.’

Yup - "I came across a riot and decided it would be OK for me to burn a building down with people inside it" was never a good defence
