He was recorded shouting 'paedo' and 'Allah, Allah, who the **** is Allah'

A man has become the first person to be jailed over a protest in Nottingham after admitting to punching an Asian man and chanting racist insults. Paul Dixon, 35, was recorded shouting “p**do” and “Allah, Allah, who the **** is Allah” while attending a protest in Nottingham on August 3 before he punched an unknown Asian man during an altercation.

The railway safety supervisor, of Broadwood Road in Bestwood, Nottingham, pleaded guilty at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court to the charge of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour and was jailed for four months. After the defendant was identified by police from a YouTube video, he was arrested on August 14 and was found in possession of cannabis, which he also pleaded guilty to.

Sentencing Dixon, district judge Sunil Khanna said: “This incident escalated in violence. I also have to bear in mind that it did not get any worse but there was a chance it could have.”On Saturday, August 3, far-right and anti-immigrant protestors gathered in Old Market Square, as part of UK-wide disorder resulting from the killing of three young girls in Southport on July 29.

Police said 15 people were arrested and eight charged following the protests, but more arrests have been made in the days following the incident.
