Hennigan, who was sentenced for breaching an ASBO by using racist language towards a black woman and her two young children in which he said she was a “bit of a c**t”.
Judge Lynch replied “You are bit of a c**t yourself.” This prompted Hennigan to shout back “Go f**k yourself”, and the judge replied “You too”.
