Manchester Arena explosion

Was just listening to more of this in the car, the way the population of manchester responded is a credit to how the people in this country come together. People offering their homes to support those impacted and all the other good. Lets hope that is the overriding story and not the sorry excuse for a person that caused it
Absolutely shocking and cowardly. W@nkers :x
:thumbsdown:
The mood is very positive, people are rallying together helping each other. Blood drives are being organised, missing persons help lines, police everywhere.
Such a terrible tragedy has everyone in Manchester on edge. At the moment the city centre is pretty much closed down, theres a 2 mile road block still around the MEN, Victoria is closed and im sure many dont want to head toward Piccadilly. The GF has been given the day off she works in Spinningfields due to safety concerns.
The commute this morning was very quiet im sure many not wanting to be near the city centre.
22 confirmed dead including children and 59 injured.
There was a controlled explosion outside Cathedral garden which seemed to be a precaution.
Really upset tbh feels horrible. Everyone at work is very quiet trying to keep their heads down in work.

Totally despicable and dirty underhand terrorist act.
I was Officer in Charge at Gorton fire station yesterday and handed over to colleagues on Blue Watch at 7pm last night. No doubt they will have attended and along with all the other emergency services will have done a tremendous job in harrowing circumstances, but they will all be affected and it doesn't ever leave you.
I was driving one of the first appliances on scene when the IRA detonated the biggest terrorist bomb on mainland Britain in Manchester in 1996. Hundreds injured, total devastation, but no fatalities because at least the IRA gave a warning that allowed a huge number of people to be evacuated before the explosion.
My thoughts go out to the family and friends of those killed and injured and also all our emergency and NHS staff who are dealing with the aftermath.

Andrew Neil got it right, now we just need a clearout
Don’t fool yourself. Last night’s attack was due to decades of unjust foreign intervention, so promoting terrorism, in turn murdering innocent families. This isn’t going to stop. The so called 100 year war against the west, against us, will continue... Our government doesn’t care about collateral damage, us. All they care about is the almighty £ and which western bully to team up with in the pursuit of oil.
I came across the following quote this morning, it has helped make my mind up on who I will be voting for on the 8th June 2017
“When it comes down to our politicians, we make the same mistake time after time after time. We almost always vote for the candidate that tells us what we want to hear rather than what we need to hear”

No doubt the muslim community, once again, will be bleating "Not in our name" ... It's time they did something about it.
