Outrage as fundraiser launched for Bristol rioter who attacked police

A fundraiser has been launched to help the family of a father who was jailed for taking part in violent disorder outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in Bristol. Among those to donate was Tristan Tate, the brother of self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate, who has given £2,500 to the cause. Dominic Capaldi, 34, was jailed on Wednesday for 34 months after being caught on video footage throwing objects towards officers in the city’s Castle Park, while crowds chanted “send them back”. The ground worker also targeted police who were trying to prevent protesters from gaining entry to the Mercure Hotel, which is used to house asylum seekers.
