It is the phrase that reflected a defiant attitude to the stabbing in Leytonstone on Saturday night, and now even David Cameron has uttered the immortal words: ‘You ain’t no Muslim, bruv.’

On Saturday night, a 56-year-old man suffered serious injuries when he was stabbed at Leytonstone Station in east London, by a man shouting ‘This is for Syria.’

But in the heat of the chaos, a man filming the incident became appalled that the attack was seemingly being committed in the name of Islam, and defiantly shouted ‘You ain’t no muslim, bruv.’

It wasn’t long before that phrase become the standout moment of defiance from the attack – and now the Prime Minister has got in on the act.

Speaking at Deferrers Academy in Burton-upon-Trent, he described the attack as ‘hideous.’

But then talk turned to the stand-out phrase, meaning that Cameron awkwardly repeated it in his cut-glass tones – before praising the man responsible for its initial inception.

Sing it loud. Shout it proud. YOU AIN’T NO MUSLIM, BRUV.
