@c5news: The debate quickly turned violent. A British ‘remigration’ activist has vowed to double-down on spreading his message after being subjected to a “vicious attack” in central Manchester. Thomas Moffitt, know online as Young Bob, was sitting at a ‘Charlie Kirk’-like ‘change my mind’ stand debating colonialism under the banner ‘Reform should be more radical’, when he was sprayed with water. After turning around and scolding the culprits, calling them “cowards” and suggesting they “don’t actually want to fight for what you believe in”, one of the youths replies: “I’ll fight you b****.” Mr Moffitt, who wants to forceable send migrants and even their descendants back to their country of origin, attempts to debate a man who tells him to get a job and actually contribute to the country. He’s then set upon by a group of youths, who attack with a barrage of punches, smash his phone and steal his equipment, leaving him cowering on the ground. A man who was earlier debating Mr Moffitt then steps in to protect him. Police attended the scene and said that two juveniles and one person in their 20s have been arrested on suspicion of robbery and assault. They remain in custody for questioning. In subsequent posts online, Mr Moffitt, who has been championed by Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson and has appeared on GB News, claimed that police had told him “this is by far the most high-profile assault case they’ve ever seen”. Mr Moffitt said was “doubling down” after the assault and has arranged a “team of lads for security” ahead of a “massive day of action for a stand on remigration in the exact same location in Manchester” “This is England. I do not want to become a demographically replaced hellhole,” he said. Mr Moffitt claims he’s previously had bottles of urine, glue and cans of beans chucked in his face. #5News #manchester
