A yob who took part in a violent protest against a Black Lives Matter demonstration has been jailed.
Norman Vose, a tiler who has never been in trouble before, joined in with several others who clashed with police and those who gathered in Newcastle city centre for a planned peaceful protest in support of the anti-racism movement.
An angry mob gathered at Grey's Monument and in ugly scenes, police came under attack and officers, horses and dogs were injured as missiles were thrown, including bottles, cans and smoke grenades. A number of people have already been locked up for their part in the shameful violent disorder - all but one from the counter-protesting group, some of whom were affiliated with the far right, Hells Angels, or football hooligans.
