The protest breached the area that had been agreed with the
Metropolitan Police and, as it moved towards Parliament Square, the defendant was filmed shouting at a line of officers in riot gear.
You chose to be part of an organised and largescale act of civil unrest. In the course of that you were part of a group that was aggressive towards police officers and chanting racist insults
By this time, one person had tried to climb the gates into Downing Street and officers had come under attack from missiles.
Rachel Masters, prosecuting, told Teesside Crown Court that the group had moved towards the Sir Winston Churchill statue, when Rawlings and others chanted “
Allah, Allah, who the f*** is Allah?”
He was also seen to be making gestures towards the police.
Video played in court showed a group of men also shouting “You’re not English any more” and calling the officers “scum”.
Rawlings was initially arrested at the scene, de-arrested when the situation was under control, then re-arrested at Darlington railway station when he was trying to travel to London on August 8, following further analysis of CCTV by police.
At his first appearance before magistrates, Rawlings, who has no previous convictions, admitted causing harassment, alarm or distress that was racially aggravated.
