BREAKING: GMB’s Narinder Kaur ISSUES STATEMENT in support of Gary Neville after 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬 by ‘Middle-Aged White Men’

Good Morning Britain presenter Narinder Kaur has shown her support for Gary Neville after he blamed “middle-aged white men” for dividing Britain in the wake of the Manchester synagogue attack. Today (October 5), the former England football star claimed the UK public is “being turned on each other” in a video posted on social media.

Hours later, the TV presenter took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to shut down trolls who had been sending the sportsman hate online. She wrote: “Seeing some absolutely diabolical twisted takes on this Gary Neville video. Are you all actually listening to what he’s saying?!?!

“He isn’t blaming the flag sh*****s for the dreadful synagogue attack? He criticised people fuelling division after the attack. He didn’t say those people carried it out.

“He didn’t ‘blame white men’ for terrorism. But blamed them (rightly) for causing division. He adds how he is proud of England and what this country is. Have I missed something?” The broadcaster’s followers soon showed their support for Gary’s brave clip, with one user writing: “These people with those twisted takes are exactly the people who Gary Neville is referring to.

“Manchester, where he’s from, is a proud multicultural city of many faiths that live side-by-side. A bit like my city too and many others. It’s not about waving flags to show superiority. Spot on.”

Another agreed: “Gary is absolutely correct. There are dark forces emboldened by the far right and Reform UK, and they are using patriotism as a weapon to incite fear and division in communities.” The ex-manager turned pundit spoke about seeing flags in the city and highlighted Manchester’s Jewish community.

Admitting he “instantly” took down a Union flag, the Labour supporter said: “I was driving to Salford City, going down Littleton Road, seeing probably 50 to 60 Union Jack flags. Then on the way back, I went down the parallel road, which is on Bury New Road, which has got the Jewish community right at its heart, and they’re out on the streets, defiant, not hiding or in fear.

“I just kept thinking as I was driving home last night that we’re all being turned on each other, and the division that’s being created is absolutely disgusting. Mainly created by angry middle-aged white men who know exactly what they’re doing.”

Mr Neville, who is now involved in property development, said: “Funnily enough, on one of my development sites last week, there was a Union Jack flag put up and I took it down instantly.

“Some people might be watching this and thinking: ‘Gary, you’re not really patriotic’. I’ve played for my country 85 times, I love my country, I love Manchester, and I love England, but I’ve been building in this city for 15-20 years, and there’s no one put a Union Jack flag up in the last 15-20 years, so why do you need to put one up now?

“Because quite clearly it’s sending a message to everybody that there is something you don’t like. The Union Jack flag used in a negative fashion is not right, and I’m a proud supporter of England, of Great Britain, of our country, and will champion it anywhere in the world as one of the greatest places to live.

“But I think we need to check ourselves, check ourselves and start to think about bringing ourselves back to a neutral point because we’re being pulled right and left and we don’t need to be pulled right and left at all.”

The sportsman blamed Brexit for dividing the country, arguing: “Brexit has had a devastating effect on this country and the messaging is getting dangerous, extremely dangerous.

“All these idiots that are out there spreading hate speech in any form and abuse in any form, we must stop promoting them. We must stop elevating our voices towards them, and it needs to stop now and get back to a country of love, of peace, of harmony, and become a team again.”
