Overview

• In a LinkedIn video posted a day after the deadly Manchester synagogue attack, Gary Neville said Britain is being turned against itself, blamed “angry, middle‑aged white men,” and said he removed a Union Jack from one of his building sites.
• Fans, some Jewish figures and Reform UK politicians condemned the remarks, with calls to boycott Sky Sports over his comments and timing.
• Faith and Communities Minister Miatta Fahnbulleh said Neville had a point about people stoking tension, while Conservative figure Sir James Cleverly branded him polarising.
• Multiple outlets report Sky Sports will not discipline Neville for the video, and he continued his broadcast duties over the weekend.
• The dispute has focused attention on Operation Raise the Colours, a mass flag‑display campaign that critics say sends exclusionary signals, with some reports noting links between a co‑founder and far‑right figures.
