Connor Graham, 28, was the lead organiser of the Save Our Futures & Our Kids’ Futures group until he disbanded it on Tuesday. He pleaded guilty to statutory breach of the peace on Wednesday.

At Falkirk Sheriff Court, Graham admitted to acting aggressively, shouting, swearing, and uttering threatening and derogatory remarks to a PC, who was on duty, outside the Hotel Cladhan on Kemper Avenue, Falkirk, on December 6.

The 28-year-old, from Stenhousemuir, Stirlingshire, admitted to behaving in a threatening and abusive manner likely to cause a reasonable person fear and alarm.

One of the derogatory remarks is said to have been a disablist slur against the officer.

Graham’s not guilty plea to a second charge alleging he was attempting to incite violence was accepted.

Graham has previous convictions for dangerous driving and driving while disqualified.

Solicitor Simon Hutchison, defending, said Graham had “not been in a lot” of trouble in the last four to five years, adding that his record was mostly for road traffic offences.

Sheriff Christopher Shead deferred sentence until March 6 for a justice social work report and an assessment of Graham’s suitability for the imposition of a restriction of liberty order – a home curfew enforced by an electronic ankle tag.

He said: “The court will need a report before deciding how best to deal with this case. Given the context, it’s necessary.”

Bail was continued and the prosecution will narrate the facts of the case at the sentencing hearing.

Graham announced this week he was disbanding the Save Our Futures & Our Kids’ Futures group after holding weekly protests outside the Cladhan Hotel in August.

He said he would no longer be involved in organising or attending protests due to the attendance of far-right groups.

“Marching alongside groups like Patriotic Alternative or the Homeland Party completely derails the message,” he wrote.

Anti-racism group Stand Up To Racism described Graham’s decision as a “victory for anti-racists and anti-fascists”.
