> A rail worker credited with saving multiple lives during a mass stabbing on a train has been named as Samir Zitouni.
> The 48-year-old’s actions on the Doncaster to London King’s Cross service on Saturday evening were described as “nothing short of heroic”
Some people are about to be very conflicted… This incident has thrown them all manner of twists.
Edit: grammar
Fucking legend. If he’s only half as celebrated as ethnic-minority criminals are pilloried, we’d have parades in the streets by tomorrow.
Hopefully we’ll see his name in the honours list as soon as can be arranged.
Potential George Cross or Medal I expect. Hopefully he gets well enough to receive it.
Bloody immigrants, coming over here and being heroes.
Reform members right now have no idea how to react…
What a brave man. I so hope that he is able to recover from this and receives the honours he deserves.
How is r/ukpolitics going to react to this i wonder.
Terrorist Anthony Williams and hero Samir Zitouni. Arrrrgh it’s not the way it’s supposed to be!
Don’t worry, this will somehow be twisted to meet the Reform narrative.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, he appears to be a muslim. That’s not going to fit certain agendas at all.
This is why they praise the train driver instead of him
OK, but what did he actually do? This feels like a nothing article designed soley to elicit a “ha, take that far right chuds!”.
Imagine the reaction if the criminal and this hero had the opposite names.
Praying for all the victims in this horrific attack. I can’t imagine the fear and terror they all faced.
GB News desperately searching online to see if he’s ever missed a council tax payment
The first social media post I saw about this incident was ‘bet they won’t have a name like Rob, James or Harry’ (replaced the names because I can’t remember the exact ones). To hundreds of likes and agreement.
As it turns out a man named Samir was protecting passengers from an attacker named Anthony.
(It doesn’t matter though because the goalposts have shifted to ‘well he is black so he isn’t really British’)
To quote the exact post doing the rounds on FB
‘People saying alot of white English people are racist…..well we arent……
When was the last time a white British male went into a concert and let a bomb off?
When was the last time a white British male attacked a British solider in the middle of the street ?
Its not race its common sense………we have an issue in England with foreign people or people of foreign decent who like attacking us 🤷♂️’
Muslim man stops black man from continuing his attacks
Waiting for the flag shaggers to explain how this works…
According to Reform this is now the bare minimum you need to do to get the right to live in the UK
What knighthoods should actually be reserved for. Makes me think of people like Keith Palmer, who actually have heroic instincts.
Not tax dodgers and faded stars.
Those who used this horrific attack to be a racist freak will ignore this story I imagine. Thank you to this hero! Wishing him a speedy recovery.
Redditors jumping for joy that one immigrant defended people from another (2nd gen). If neither were here there would be 11 less people stabbed, simply a FACT.
What an incredible selfless act. A true hero. Wishing him a full recovery and this amazing guy deserves some kind of honour. (Shame so much weird race baiting/political point scoring on here from extremist left types).
It can’t be overstated how much courage it takes in a chaotic life-or-death situation, to step forward and put yourself in harm’s way to protect others. What a brave man. I hope he makes a speedy and complete recovery.
