Hundreds of protesters stormed a courtroom and attempted to make a citizens' arrest on a judge in support of a man challenging his council tax bill.

In chaotic scenes, police rescued Judge Michael Peake from the clutches of a mob and escorted him safely from the County Court in Birkenhead, Merseyside.

Officers were force to scramble over court benches to control the near riot as one protester shouted to 'seal the court'. Another sat in the judge's chair at the head of the court and declared the defendant be released.

The peasants are revolting.

This was apparently a UKIP related activity.

I checked out some of the pictures and they looked like UKIP supporters. Middle class, tax paying, Tea Party types, etc.

The UK Tea Partier virtually asked the judge, "Are you loyal to the Crown or the European Court?"
