A judge has stunned a courtroom by using the C-word as she jailed a racist and antisemitic thug.
Judge Patricia Lynch reacted angrily when John Hennigan, 50, told her she was "a bit of a c***" during sentencing, according to reports in the Mirror.
Reacting with fury, Judge Lynch told Hennigan, who has a string of criminal convictions for racist incidents including Nazi salutes: "You are a bit of a c*** yourself. Being offensive to me doesn't help."
Appearing at Chelmsford Crown Court on Tuesday, Hennigan shouted back: "Go f*** yourself."
