Filmmaker Attacked While Covering Riot in Hull

A sex expert and podcaster, Tommie, found himself in the midst of violent riots that erupted across Britain after the tragic stabbing of three young girls in Southport. The incident sparked a wave of misinformation on social media, falsely suggesting that the suspect had a Muslim background, which fueled unrest in various towns and cities. Tommie described his harrowing experience in Hull, where he was targeted by rioters who covered him in beer, cut his face with a razor, and attempted to kick him. In a YouTube video detailing the chaos, Tommie recounted the violence he witnessed, stating, “Hull is burning, white rioters are tearing through the city smashing property, attacking immigrant businesses.” He noted that the rioters were indiscriminate in their aggression, even targeting him, a white man, simply for filming the events. As the situation escalated, he managed to escape to police lines for safety amidst the chaos. The following day, the local community expressed shock and embarrassment over the events. Tommie emphasized that Hull has historically been a place that supports working-class individuals, regardless of their background. He urged his followers to listen to the concerns of those involved in the protests, even when based on misinformation, and to communicate factual information about immigration and the refugee crisis to counteract the far-right narrative that incited the violence.
