Lord Justice Tuckey:
"It is the first breach that concerns me … You wanted to frighten Mr Masters, you achieved your objective, that was an extremely stupid thing to do. Also I find that later you were making up allegations about Mr Rose.
In relation to the first breach. It was an incident that was denied. Just a year before you had been convicted of pouring petrol over Mr Masters. On that occasion you were given a community sentence. And I am sure you were given a full warning what the consequences would be if you breached the ASBI on 11 June 2007.
I have had the opportunity to sit and watch you whilst mitigation was presented. I take the view that you hold the court in poorly disguised contempt and you don't have proper regard for these proceedings."
