Manchester Arena Explosions?

[Section_31]

I work in Bolton off work today but there's a massive armed police presence all around though

 

Poor bastard.

Poor bastard.

 

Thoughts and prayers are with his family.

[Oh Buoy]

Waiting for the BBC News to update about the story of working in Bolton. 

 

Absolutely sickening.

Ha.just trying to make the point that in Bolton they've only just moved onto truncheons so armed police routinely walking around shows that I imagine all greater Manchester is on high alert.

That Diamonds in the picture is one skatty gaff as well, I hope he doesn't work in there.

Woke up to the news this morning, absolutely fucking awful and as others have said very very close to home. I have two daughters who have been to the Manchester Arena a couple of times for concerts.

What kind of sick twisted mind deliberately targets children? Whats worse for me is that he would have seen the kids he was about to kill as he pressed the button. I don't believe in God, but at times like this I really do hope that there is a hell.

If this is genuine, and the account seems to be, then there are some sick fucks in this world.

Some weird shit going on on social media, people apparently posting fake appeals for people who don't exist, just had one then from Manchester hospital apparently calling for people to  donate a specific blood group as they have none left? 

[moof]

You get Farrage and Hopkins when you call anyone a bigot or racist for questioning the motivations of terrorists. They don't mind being labelled that way so stick their heads above the parapet.

They are absolutely coming from a position of racism and bigotry.

 

Trying to foster this 'us and them' mentality is the exact aim of bombings like this.

 

 

Makes me sick not only to see the pointless destruction and loss of life, but the opportunistic backlash from insidious racist cunts.

Arndale evacuated at the moment apparently.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

BBC saying the Arndale shopping centre has been evacuated. Hopefully just precaution.

Alison Pearson, Telegraph journalist, on Twitter calling for internment of terrorist suspects. I'm not sure where the bar would be set for what qualifies as a terrorist suspect, as Alison hasn't really gone into detail about that.....

You can already be held for 14 days without charge.

We could put the suspects in orange jumpsuits on a special island somewhere. Great idea.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I don't know how aware people are, the police get a lot of shit but they are doing all they can to prevent and stop terrorism from what I've resd and seen.  You can be arrested, have your passport permanently taken, made to appear every day at a police station, for merely showing any kind of allegiance or promotion for ISIS. It's far from a easy task to undertake, but I don't think they can be criticised overly for what they are trying to do.

Armadale been evacuated and man seen arrested by armed police. Don't know how accurate this report is so not added any pictures

[Lee909]

Hopefully its just of case of being cautious and taking no risks

[Jairzinho]

The police didn't create the problem, and neither did 99.9999% of Muslims. Neither can either solve the problem.

 

The only people capable of even attempting to solve the problem aren't interested in doing so, sadly.

Gmp shared on Facebook the arrest in arndale not linked to the attack an arrest in south Manchester of a 23 year old is

This thread on Twitter is an interesting read. Aspects of it we'll never usually hear about.

How long before we have an indefinite state of emergency like in France...
