Man jailed at Leeds Crown Court after making offensive gestures
He was jailed this afternoon.
Jordan Plain has been jailed for eight months after he was filmed making monkey gestures and shouting "rubber lips" towards black and Asian people as hundreds of people took part in rival demonstrations in Leeds city centre.
Video footage was played at Leeds Crown Court on Friday showing Plain, 30, making gestures and shouting abuse at the front of the anti-immigration rally outside the city's art gallery on Saturday afternoon.
This rally took place in front of hundreds of anti-racism protesters, separated by lines of police.
At one point Plain was filmed with others mocking Muslim prayers.
Plain, of Broadway Horsforth, admitted racially aggravated harassment earlier this week.
He told a probation officer he was "ashamed of what he had done and it should never have happened".
The court heard he told probation that he was out drinking in Leeds when he came across the demonstration while he was "six-out-of-ten intoxicated".
