THE PEOPLE OF MANCHESTER GIVE THE EDL THEIR MARCHING ORDERS
Mancunians are known for their straight talking, so this was no surprise.
Mancunians are known for their straight talking. So, it was no surprise when they didn’t mince their words yesterday when the EDL rolled into town.
In the wake of Monday night’s deadly attack, in which 22 people died, the far right used the opportunity to attempt to use the heightened emotion to spread their hateful message and foster division within society.
This is unsurprising – they do it all the time. But, this time, Manchester said ‘no’. A small number of the EDL rocked up to the Arndale shopping centre with their flags and their shouting and their generally furious ways, only to be told to do one by locals.
Outnumbered by Mancunians who condemned their anti-Islamic rhetoric and their protest, it wasn’t long until the far-right hate group were clashing with locals and the police. Footage, published by Reuters, shows a man challenging members of the EDL outside the shopping centre.
“The people of Manchester don’t stand with your xenophobia and racism,” one local explains.
“The people of Manchester are going to stick together, no matter what religion you follow, no matter what the colour of the skin is. We’re not going to stand with people like you.
“We’re going to stick together, because together we are stronger and the people of Manchester are not going to be afraid of who is responsible for this violence.”
The latest figures show that, in addition to the 22 who were killed, at least 119 people were injured when a bomb was detonated at a Ariana Grande concert on Monday night.
Also staggering is the fact that the coward who did this was known by the security services for many years and to have had extreme belief issues. The mind boggles.It's staggering how the ever expanding links to people who knew of, or were acquainted with, the victims just keeps growing. The numbers touched either first, second or third hand becomes astronomical. Sympathies to you all......
Army bomb disposal being sent to Trafford college.
Probably just a precautionary measure anyway....I think it's been corrected and is now being reported as an incident in Hulme. Mind you, they could be two separate incidents.
Probably just a precautionary measure anyway.
