Tommy Robinson Calls Out Gary Neville Over Bradford Knifeman, Turns Out Attacker Was ‘Middle Aged White Man’

With the city of Bradford having the highest concentration of Muslims in the UK (based on percentage of the population), Tommy Robinson thought it was a safe bet that the Bradford knifeman arrested outside Bradford college the other day would turn out to be a deranged Muslim, or a non-white person at the very least.

He was so confident of this that he tagged Gary Neville on X and called him out over it, referencing Neville’s ‘middle-aged white men‘ comments that have wound so many people up this week:

Well, in a classic example of why you should always wait for the facts to come out before opening your mouth, it’s now been confirmed that the knifeman was indeed a middle-aged white man. What’s more – it was a middle-aged white man attacking non-white people. Whoops.

As per the BBC, 31-year-old David Noutch been charged with racially aggravated assault, threatening with a bladed article in a public place and assault by beating. He was also charged with two counts of assaulting a constable and causing criminal damage

This is Dave in a previous mug shot following an arrest for shoplifting:

Of course, Tommy Robinson has now stopped Tweeting about this and will never mention it again. It would have been so easy for him to wait until the suspect was identified so that he could avoid making himself look like a prat, but his impulse control when it comes to this sort of thing is literally zero.

Still, I’m sure there’ll be an incident soon enough where he will be able to tag Gary Neville and feel as though he’s made some salient point. In fact they can both go back and forth doing that until the end of time because people of all backgrounds and ethnicities are committing atrocious crimes all the time. In any case, it’s a sad and unhelpful way to go about things.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Tommy Robinson’s merch company will be dissolved following the discovery that the clothing is made by Muslims in Bangladesh.
