A failed UKIP
candidate, convicted of striking her landlady with a large pair of
scissors during a microwave row, has been ordered to complete 200
hours of community service work.
Trainee teacher
Juliette Nibbs, 41, who stood in the Kensal Green ward during Brent's
2015 council election, only polled 2.18% of the vote.
She was convicted
at Willesden Magistrates Court of assaulting Imtiaz Bibi at an
address in Crest Road, Cricklewood on April 11.
The magistrates
ruled the offence was not racially-aggravated even though Mrs Bibi
told them Nibbs shouted: “You are a Paki. You go back to your
f***ing country, you f***ing bitch.”
Nibbs must also
comply with a twelve-month Community Order, pay £100 compensation to
the victim, £300 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.
She was ordered to
pay the money at the rate of £40 per month.
The family had
rented out a room to Nibbs, who has since moved out to Knowles House,
Longstone Avenue, Harlesden, to help them with the rent to the owner
of the property.

| Assaulted: Imtiaz Bibi |
“I told her I
thought it was dangerous that she left the microwave running and it
was something that happened previously.”
“She said: 'You
are lying. It's not on,' and she made faces at me.
“She turned to
her room and returned with a pair of scissors and her gestures were
very strange and she made faces.
“As she was
swearing at me she was waving her scissors at me. They were eight to
ten inches long, the type you'd normally see being used by a tailor.
“They were heavy
scissors, due to the bruises I got.
“She was at the
top of the stairs and I was two steps down and the scissor blades hit
my right hand by the wrist as I moved my hands in self-defence.
“It was quite
painful and the x-ray showed tissues had been damaged in my thumb.
“The impact was
quite deep, with bruising and swelling.”
Nibbs told the
court she had no access to the kitchen facilities even though she had
rented a room at the house for four years.
