Conservative remigration activist Thomas ‘Young Bob’ Moffitt was attacked by a mob of migrants while speaking at Manchester City Centre in Manchester, United Kingdom on Monday, 15 June.
Young Bob was engaged in one of his Charlie Kirk-inspired debates (he is even affiliated with Turning Point UK) in public about mass deportations, when a group of young men of Middle Eastern and some of white European appearance surrounded him, dragged him away from his table, and started throwing kicks and punches at him.
Moffitt himself described his attackers as ‘a group of foreign lads’.
A member of the audience recorded the attack, which was then shared by Moffitt on his X page. It has received 5.1 million views and 27,000 likes to date.
The footage shared shows at least five men, some armed with sticks, taking shots at the lone victim Young Bob.
In his initial post reporting on the attack, the right-wing activist shared that he was not only attacked, but his equipment was also stolen and destroyed by the presumably far-left mob. Police arrived about five minutes after the assault, and were able to recover most of his property that had been taken. One of his cameras was damaged to the point that its battery exploded. However, the SD card that has the recorded footage stored is still in decent condition.
Young Bob also stated that he lost consciousness partway through the attack. He is thankfully now out of the hospital with a concussion and minor injuries to his face, neck, and back.
He named the far-left group Stand Up to Racism—who have recently received massive backlash for disrupting a vigil for stabbing victim Henry Nowak—as the ones behind the counter-protest at his event. However, he did not claim the people who physically attacked him were members of the controversial organization, only that they ‘egged on’ the violent group to attack him, and filmed the incident.
During an interview with GB News about the incident, Young Bob asserted that ‘This has only encouraged me to go out more, obviously with security, to talk about the message.’
Who Is Young Bob?
Thomas ‘Young Bob’ Moffitt is a 17-year-old British political figure, who describes himself as a 'Christian Pro-life Remigration activist' in his bio on the social media site X. The 'RB' at the end of his X handle likely stands for Restore Britain, a far-right political party in the United Kingdom.
He first gained attention after his debates at the historic open-air public speaking area Speakers' Corner in London, United Kingdom in early 2025.
