Gary Neville sparks fury by claiming 'angry middle-aged white men' flying Union Jack flags are dividing Britain in wake of Manchester synagogue attack

Gary Neville has sparked a furious online backlash after his comments on the Manchester synagogue attack descended into a rant about 'angry middle-aged white men' dividing Britain by raising Union flags.

The former Manchester United and England defender made the comments around 24 hours after worshippers at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation were attacked by Syrian-born terrorist Jihad Al-Shamie.

Neville, 50, began his video, which he posted to LinkedIn on Friday, by saying: 'Seeing the news last night and the news this morning dominated by the horrific attacks within the Jewish community, just a mile from here.'

But after pausing to take a breath as he walked down the street, Neville bizarrely switched his attention to the raising of flags - a movement called 'Operation Raise the Colours' which has gripped swathes of Britain this year.

He continued: 'When I was driving to Salford City last night, going down Littleton Road, I seen probably 50 or 60 Union Jack flags. And on the way back I went down the parallel road, Bury New Road, which has got the Jewish community right at its heart and they’re out on the streets, defiant, not hiding or in fear.

'I just kept thinking as I was driving home last night that we’re all being turned on each other. And the division that’s being created is absolutely disgusting. Mainly created by angry, middle-aged white men, who know exactly what they’re doing.

'Funnily enough on one of my development sites last week there was a Union Jack flag put up and I took it down instantly.'

This is why the Brits are begging us for help.

Again.

I’ve never been a big flag waver in my life but national flags displayed in their own nation have never bothered me. Vexilology I have always found fascinating and the Union Jack to me at least is the most aesthetically pleasing flag in the world.

Gary Neville, an angry middle-aged white man, tries to divide Britain with outrageous propaganda.

That's not true. They also fly the Saint George's Cross.

Licking behinds is in character for a “gay football” player like Gary.

Go over to You Tube and see the videos they're posting.

One is titled “Watch Over Us’’ and it's some 60 year old Brit grandfather pleading with his fellow Brits to write to Trump and have him save them. Another comes from a show called "GB Talks'' hosted by a guy named Mike Graham. Recently he had on some female British ''pundit'' who flat out said "Just invade us America, please! Just take us over!''. As I said go to You Tube. See it for yourself. There's another one called “Abbey The Gabby Cabby’’ and he's another one, the one who actually started the idea of writing to Trump for help. It's not just Brits. Canadian's, the Albertan's anyway are chomping the bit anticipating becoming the 51st.

Typical. Gary Neville is such an ass.

Of course, being a Liverpool fan and despising anything Manchester United, I’m biased. But honestly , Neville comes across as smug, arrogant and ignorant.

His statement confirms my low opinion of him.

A rich man who is financially insulated from the disaster his nation is facing, throws darts at the core citizens of his country - the same citizens who spent their hard owned money to go to Old Trafford and make him rich.
