Tommy Robinson is spreading misinformation again with ‘white knifeman’ tweet

On 9 October, Tommy Robinson tweeted the following message to his audience after learning that a ‘knifeman’ had attacked two people on the street:

This post did nothing to diminish the accusation that Robinson doesn’t care about victims, and that he only covers crimes which promote his narrative. It especially didn’t help when the police reported that the alleged attacker is a white British male in his 30s.

Tommy Robinson: bullshit merchant

On 11 October, West Yorkshire Police released the following information:

A man has been charged with a number of offences following an incident near Bradford College on Thursday morning.

David Noutch, of no fixed abode, has been charged with a racially aggravated offence under the Public Order Act, racially aggravated assault, threatening with a bladed article in a public place and assault by beating.

He is also charged with two counts of assaulting a constable and causing criminal damage.

The 31-year-old, who self defines as white British, has been remanded in custody to appear at Leeds Magistrates’ Court this morning.

Noutch might yet be found innocent. Either way, it’s nothing for anyone to gloat about.

This is obviously a horrible incident, and it should never have been used as a ‘gotcha’ to attack Gary Neville. It’s especially ironic given that Neville’s criticism of the current wave of flag shagging is that it’s being used by far-right figures like Robinson to cynically spread division.

Robinson is so vile and stupid that he’ll latch onto any tragedy to try and cause division, yet it turns out the attacker was white.

Has Robinson retracted this statement? He’s a stain on this country. pic.twitter.com/jpW1FZCDWZ

UPDATE: it was indeed a middle aged white man- so middle aged and so white, he’s even called DAVE..

Speculation

Some people online have suggested Tommy Robinson deleted the offending tweet. At the time of writing, however, the post is still there.

If you’re wondering why he hasn’t deleted this embarrassing tweet, it’s because guys like this don’t feel embarrassment. If they did, they wouldn’t be able to get up in the morning – let alone tweet several hundred messages like this one.

It’s important to remember that Tommy Robinson isn’t posting to be correct; he’s posting to feed raw meat into the anger machine. This tweet got thousands of likes and hundreds of thousands of views, and that’s good enough for him – even if it is now obviously misinformation.
