Tourist who described Welsh people as 'sheep s******s' during drunken rant at holiday park is fined £150 He admitted racially aggravated disorderly behaviour Outburst aimed at security staff and off-duty officer Anthony Taaffe, of Bolton, repeated insult to police He told court it is a term for people in the countryside An English holidaymaker has been fined £150 for racism after shouting 'sheep s******s' at a group of people in Wales. Appearing at a special weekend court, Anthony Taaffe, argued: 'Calling someone a sheep s*****r is a term for people living in the countryside.' The 47-year-old, of Bolton, Greater Manchester, admitted racially aggravated disorderly behaviour. 'Racism': Anthony Taaffe, 47, from Bolton, Greater Manchester, was fined £150 after calling a group of people at a holiday park in Wales 'sheep s******s' He also pleaded guilty to a second similar offence, when he called an officer at the police custody unit he was taken to a 'Welsh sheep s*****r' and said he would rather be 'P**i'. The court in Llandudno, north Wales, heard Taaffe appeared drunk and was shouting and swearing at a holiday park in nearby Gronant when children were present. Defence: Taaffe argued 'sheep s*****r' is a term for people in the countryside Prosecutor Gareth Parry said security staff and an off-duty policeman intervened but the defendant called them a 'bunch of sheep s*******'. Phillip Lloyd Jones, defending, said Taaffe, who receives state benefits, had been restrained on the ground and sat upon by the security staff and off-duty officer. He accepted he was insulting and apologised. His fine was deemed paid by his time in custody. In 2011, postman Darren Swain was fined £3,500 after being convicted of racism for calling Scottish tennis player, Andy Murray, a 'useless Jock'. The 45-year-old had daubed dozens of posters with abusive comments at the Royal Mail's sorting office in Coventry. He dubbed himself 'the scarlet pimpernel of the post office' and wrote 'you won't catch me' across one of the posters. Also that year, pub singer Simon Ledger, 34, was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated harassment for singing the classic 1974 chart hit Kung Fu Fighting. A man of Chinese origin walking past the bar where he was signing in the Isle of Wight took offence and reported Mr Ledger to the police. He was later released without charge.
