- A protesting fan told GB News that demonstrations would continue until they feel heard by the Government, describing Neville’s video as “slander.”
- In a LinkedIn video, Neville blamed “angry middle-aged white men” for division in Britain and said he ordered a Union Jack removed from one of his Manchester development sites.
- A worker from the site told the Daily Mail, as quoted in GB News, that only the Union Flag was singled out and that staff were later given ‘toolbox chats’ about political messages.
- The video was posted days after a deadly attack on a Manchester synagogue, and coverage featured sharp criticism of Neville from commentators including an Express columnist and Nigel Farage.
