Gavin Pinder, a 47-year-old with a highly-paid job at a nuclear power plant, was said to be laughing as he attempted to attack a mosque in Southport; so was Leanne Hodgson, a 43-year-old former flight attendant who charged a line of police with an industrial wheelie bin. Peter Lynch, 61, joined a mob that tried to burn down a hotel housing asylum seekers in Rotherham; he was carrying a placard condemning the ‘deep state’, the World Health Organisation and Nasa.
