A Bristol man launched a drunken, racist tirade in Slough on New Year’s Day has been spared jail.
David Wright, of Silcox Road, Bristol, admitted to being drunk and disorderly in Rochfords Gardens on January 1, 2021.
The 49 year old also pleaded guilty to two counts of racially-aggravated threatening behaviour on the same date.

Wright appeared at Reading Magistrates’ Court just two days after the offences.
Here, he was forced to pay £250 in fines and a £34 victim surcharge.
The incidents occurred while Wright was serving a 10-week suspended prison sentence for racially-aggravated disorderly behaviour handed to him by Avon and Somerset Magistrates on November 5, 2021.

However, the suspended sentence was not activated as this would be ‘unjust’, according to a Reading Magistrates’ Court file.
The file indicated three more days of rehabilitation activities would be more ‘onerous’ on the defendant.
