The court heard Cann, of Patna Place, who has 26 convictions for 170 offences, referred in a police interview after his arrest to the cost to taxpayers of immigrants and said he thought the protest was “because an immigrant had killed some girls”.
The judge said the “person in question was not an immigrant but they and you didn’t care, it was just an excuse”.
Judge Linford said he wanted to talk about the cost to the taxpayer of Cann's activities, saying he had 10 aliases, four fictitious birthdates and 170 offences for which he had been sentenced to 357 months in prison for - most of which had run concurrently.
“That Mr Cann is what you’ve been costing this country,” Judge Linford said.
“You have no right whatsoever to say who should and shouldn’t be in this country.”
The court heard Ryan Bailey, 41, of no fixed abode, Plymouth, who also admitted violent disorder, was seen picking up a can and throwing it and also chanting about immigrants not being welcome.
