      Someone went to Amsterdam and thought he could be more violent and disruptive then literally any drunk English person

      They made a huge point of making a media campaign calling us Brits unwelcome. Can’t have any good without the bad dutchies

      Random stabbing in Europe, lets not talk about the perpetrator, but about the hero’s that stopped them. Which is right, but seems like it’s omitting certain important infomation.

      I’m imagining a Hugh Grant type.

      “Oh I-I-I-I’m terribly sorry, I appear to be sat on you. Let’s just wait for the local constabulary to get here and we can sort this mess out.”

      Blimey! There’s finally an English Amsterdam tourist which hasn’t made us look bad!

      I was two doors down from one of the stabbings, outside a bar on holiday.

      Heard the noise and commotion, sounded horrific

      “He is a very modest British man,” Halsema told Amsterdam news channel AT5. “He has no desire to become famous.

      Do you know the hero? Please contact Barney.Davis.Ind@independent.co.uk.

      Barney Davis, you and The Independent are fucking parasites.

      We have a lot of practice with these nutters over here now. He was just using his stealth take down skills he learnt from levelling up in side quests.

      Conspiracy theory: it’s an inexpensive psyop to bolster European solidarity in the current geopolitical climate.

      Brits do know knife crime very well. Common occurrence so obvs citizens are more prepared. Good for him

      Hope he gets the privacy he’s after, but… also curious to know his background, didn’t look like his first rodeo.
