Brit remigration activist who wants to carry Charlie Kirk’s legacy attacked in Manchester

An activist has been beaten up after he took his Charlie Kirk-inspired ‘change my mind’ stand to Manchester.

Gregory Moffitt, who goes by the name Young Bob, was hosting a debate on colonisation when he was targeted in the city centre.

Under a banner that read ‘Reform should be more radical’, he argued that subjects of the British Empire shouldn’t necessarily be welcome in the UK.

As a crowd gathered behind him, he said: ‘All of you who throw water are cowards. You don’t actually want to fight for what you believe in.’

One responded: ‘I’ll fight you, b****’, before telling Moffitt to get a job. He said he had one, but was fired from McDonald’s for his political views.

That was when he was kicked to the floor before his phone was smashed and his camera and banner were stolen.

Footage posted on social media shows the group continued to attack him as he tried to retrieve his belongings and ends up in the foetal position to protect himself.

Eventually, a Black man he had been debating with steps in to protect him.

Posting on X after the assault, he claimed police told him it was ‘by far the most high-profile assault case they’d seen.’

He added: ‘Both of the cameras I had on the day have been broken or stolen. My phone has been smashed. They stole some of my stand equipment, including a banner and a chair.’

Moffitt also hinted that he would return to the same spot for further debates on ‘remigration’ – the forced return of migrants and their descendants – but next time would bring a ‘team of lads’ for security.

He said: ‘This is England. I do not want to become a demographically replaced hellhole. What I saw that day was a group of migrant lads being egged on by left-wing agitators.’

Police confirmed they attended and they arrested three people, two youths and one in their 20s, on suspicion of robbery and assault.

Who is Young Bob?

The young activist has been held up by Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson as part of the remigration movement.

The Christian activist regularly appears on GB News and at demonstrations, trying to build a youth movement through debates and social media clips.

He is a proponent of far-right remigration policy which wants to forcibly send immigrants and their descendants back to their country of origin.

He filmed the Southampton riots after a Sikh man was jailed for Henry Nowak’s death. His footage helped police identify many of the suspects.

He regularly holds ‘Change my mind’ stands on abortion, transgenderism and migration.

He claims: ‘We’ve had bottles of urine chucked at us, glue chucked at us, cans of beans chucked in my face.

‘But we must continue the fight regardless of what country we’re in, because the West needs conservatism.

‘If I were… ever able to have the opportunity to speak to Erika [Kirk], I would firstly give huge admiration towards her husband on the formula and ideas that I [drew] great inspiration from’.
