I really hope he makes it. They said he is fighting for his life and risked everything to save others.
I’m not saying he isn’t, but where have you got he’s a migrant from? Genuinely curious, because I’ve seen other people mention it and can’t seem to find any confirmation myself.
His nationality doesn’t seem to be mentioned in any of the articles I’ve read (I don’t watch television so may have missed it on that) and the only ‘source’ I can find after Googling it is a meme(ish) Facebook post.
I would be really interested to read the source, cheers!
And massive respect to Samir. He’s an incredible hero, no doubt about it. I really hope he manages to pull through and he gets a proper reward.
Front page of The Mirror today reads like a flag shaggers wet dream, mentions 3 heroes, pictures 2 of them, in Army garb and other in a football top and names both, where the fuck is thanks for Samir’s bravery?
Let’s not make this about our political agenda and wish him a speedy recovery and support this guy when he gets better.
This is the kind of person I’d like to see get a knighthood.
Just watch, the Tommy ten names crew will be deathly silent on this. Hopefully he’ll pull through
Is he one whose condition is still critical? Hope he makes a full recovery. People like this need to be honoured in a huge way.
Peoples families, children, mothers, sons fathers, just on a train travelling home or to work to be hit with insane spontaneous violance, and only a few out of dozens have the courage to try to fight, to protect them and themselves. Its peak humanity.
I give 0 fucks about their race / nationality. Anyone mentioning it can fuck off even if they think theyre doing it positively.
How do you know he’s a migrant?
lol, That’s some serious bravery! Here’s hoping he pulls through and gets the recognition he deserves.
Nah bro, you don’t understand. It’s only bad when it’s a Pakistani, Indian, or Afghanistani migrant! Gosh, how could you forget such a crucial detail?
I hope he recovers fully and gets the recognition he deserves. To quote a very overused phrase “Not all heroes wear capes “.
Usual suspects!
So when a foreigner does something good – collectively represents foreigners.
But when foreigners rape and murder – isolated incidents.
The story here is the police failing to arrest the knifeman the day before, not this interloper.
Even on YouTube I’m noticing that on the news section he’s not featured or barely at all on thumbnails for most of the major news channels. Very telling on the media bias on reporting during these times.
Oof, thats going to anger the xenophobes
If a migrant does something bad, it’s “migrant criminal”, when a migrant does something good they fail to mention it. A created war on immigrants. How do these “journalists” sleep at night?
Is he a migrant? Who cares if he is?
The man is a legend dont matter where hes from some people are in the right place at the right time
Pretty sure this guy is also Jewish either way he will remain a legend
We need more people like him and less people like the guy he fought
Think the “migrant” part kinda becomes redundant given he’s been here for the last 20 odd years…
Watch Farage give zero credit. Oddly enough GB News haven’t told their viewers a migrant saved people.
Samir, you’re breaking the narrative!
Still doesn’t change the fact the UK (and the world) has a problem with Islamic extremism.
He and the other brave individuals all have our thanks and respect for their actions.
This post appears to be a post framing individual heroism through an identity lens to score political points. The focus should stay on the act itself, not the person’s origin.
Samir Zitouni, aged 48, is a long-serving LNER customer-experience host who has worked for the company for more than 20 years. He intervened in the stabbing incident aboard the train between Peterborough and Huntingdon, reportedly placing himself between the attacker and other passengers and sustaining serious injuries in the process.
⸻
Stephen Crean, aged 61 was a passenger on the train at the time of the attack. He confronted the attacker directly, despite being stabbed six times he managed to get to safety before locking himself in a train compartment and waiting until police arrived. He is being described as a Nottingham Forest football-fan and returning home from a match.
⸻
Andrew Johnson is the train driver of the same service. He is a British national from Peterborough. Before becoming a driver in 2018, he served for 17 years in the Royal Navy including deployment to Iraq then transitioned to rail work. During the attack he diverted the train into Huntingdon station (an unscheduled stop) to enable rapid policing and emergency access, which officials say helped prevent more casualties.
Samir Zitouni is a hero who risked his life protecting passengers on that Peterborough train.
It’s depressing watching both sides of the spectrum weaponise his background for their own ends.
The superficial point scoring while he fights for his life is grotesque.
Bloody foreigners coming over and saving lives
/s obviously I hope he makes a good recovery 🫡
So two BRITISH NATIONALS engaged in a violent attack and a HEROIC MIGRANT saved the day ?
Yes a legal migrant, looks like a respecful man who works and pays his taxes and he is welcome here, my sentiment is shared by the vast majority of your so called “far right” HOWEVER !…….It doesn’t take away the fact that. A. Legal migration is too high
And B. Illegal immigrants that are predominantly young fighting ages males from backwards cultures are coming here in their droves and it’s not stopping and I don’t care what any of you say that is a national security issue that needs to be fixed ASAP by means of mass deportations. Hope that helped my little marxist friends
Fighting age hero
Why do the left keep calling him ‘migrant’ and ‘foreigner’?
Maybe he’s proud to be British. Do you people ever think of that?
Absolutely! We can only hope more immigrants strive to be like him (and not the train murderer type)
One of us.
How long does somebody have to live in this country before they’re no longer labelled a migrant? He’s worked for LNER for over 20 years. After paying taxes and serving the country and its people for that long, you’re British… this is your home. That’s without even mentioning his heroic act.
If you still think this man is a migrant just because of his name or skin colour, you’re every bit as bad as the “deformers” you hate so much.
So the one time you can say this is the case, and that makes all the other issues caused by migrants ok?
I saw some newspaper headlines which had headlines about three hero’s but only showed pictures of two of them… funny that they forgot about this guy
I really don’t get the point here, like I’m not a reformer in any way but this is literally the exact same principle for their arguments
Just because one migrant is a hero (which this man absolutely is) doesn’t mean they all are and likewise, just because one migrant is a criminal (which some are) doesn’t mean they all are. Like why are we just removing all nuance from the situation to “get one over on them reformers”
The amount of racist comments on the first news reports of the incident were astonishing. No sympathy for the victims whatsoever just people pushing their own agenda, where are they now?
I hope Samir recovers and gets the recognition he deserves, a true hero 👏
A proper hero, I hope he recovers bless him
Not sure it helps. They’ll just say a migrant is saving people from a problem created by a migrant (I’ve actually seen a comment like this).
Legal migrant👍🏽 illegal migrant 👎🏽
Non law breaker 👍🏽 Law breaker 👎🏽
Legit asylum 👍🏽 Bullshit asylum 👎🏽
Hope this helps 🤡
Tbh he’s barely a migrant considering he moved to the UK as a teenager. Praying he makes it though!! He deserves a knighthood.
His real name was actually Dave at the time of the incident. The reason it took them a few days to release his name is because they’ve changed it to a foreign name by deed poll for positive propaganda purposes.
No, he’s just a good man
migrant of what type ?
good for him, credit where credit is due to bad hes one in a million
