Feel like I might be opening a can of worms here, but does anybody else feel a little uncomfortable with 'Don't Look Back in Anger' being sang after the minute silence in Manchester this morning?

It clearly comes from a good place, and that collective resilience is something that we should be proud of, but does stuff like that inadvertently deflect from the purpose of a memorial? I can appreciate that there are times when applause may be more apt (Howard Kendall or Bowie for example), but 22 people were murdered - some of them children - surely a moment of sombre reflection sends a better message. Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way?

It's the modern way, not my cup of tea but if it makes people feel better why not......
 
Cripes. Closed a load of roads in Wigan and sent in one of them bomb robot things now.

Arrested what, 8 folk as well.

All a bit disturbing.

My mother in law (from Leigh) had to be escorted to an external hospital car park on Freckleton street by armed police when visiting had finished & arrived at our house really stressed by it all...the rest of wigan seemed to react like this...


My thoughts go out to anyone involved...but we can't let these cowards make us live in fear!

Funny how all these good armed Americans are never about when someone goes on a shooting rampage,

I was flicking through the news channels the other day and watched a bit of Fox (I know) the fella talking was saying how Britain is 'the lease armed country, and NOT EVEN there police are armed' like things like this attack happen on a daily basis and it's are own fault

DIVS
 
Not that anyone needs reminding but what a bell Piers Morgan is! Just seen his latest attention seeking shout that Ariana Grande (who I'd never even heard of until this all happend) should be ashamed that she hasn't gone around all the hospital's to meet all the victims. What an arse. As I've said, I've never even heard of the lass before but she can't be anymore then in her early 20's and she's probably majorly shook up herself. How this idiot Morgan is still employed with any major media outlet is beyond belief. Has this moron ever said anything worth listening to?! Because I must of missed that!
