Two brothers who were at the forefront of rioting outside a hotel in Rotherham earlier this month have been jailed. Luke and Paul Sissons were involved a range of violent incidents at the Holiday Inn Express, in Manvers, on 4 August. Video played to the court showed an attack on a police dog van and violent confrontations with riot officers, with Luke Sissons telling a one officer: “I hate immigrants.” They were both jailed for three years at Sheffield Crown Court. The Holiday Inn Express, which housed more than 200 asylum seekers, was extensively damaged in the violence with windows being smashed. Paul Sissons, who is a tunnelling team leader on the HS2 project, was filmed over a period of nearly four hours. He was pictured in a mob shouting at police and chanting “Tommy Robinson”, before rocking a police van with officers and a dog inside. Sissons, 37, of Two Gates Way, Barnsley, was then filmed throwing missiles at a group of cornered officers. A final video showed him kicking at a police shield, something the judge described as “vicious”.
