One of Manchesters finest citizens. Well done to him.

Incredible evidence of the humanity that has shone through.

I hope the lad can catch a break and turn his life around and that everyone he comes into contact with him can show the same humanity he did last night.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Well said.

Like most of us on here I've been to hundreds of sports events, concerts etc any one of which could have been a target.

It's not so much the geographic closeness of the event, but that sense of how easily it could have happened to one of us.

While I applaud all sentiments of defiance it's a bit futile. It won't send a message to such attackers. They aren't listening. They don't care. It's senseless, pointless violence which won't advance or further any political or religious cause. Absolutely tragic.

All we can do is crack on and support the emergency services, the victims and their relatives.

What a dark day for our great city.

Good post, i sadly agree

Yeah, that lad has got values. Far more than the scum that blew himself up. Let's hope someone can help him and his mate turn their lives around.

The horror of last night's events is bad enough but on social media we've got:

• That vile woman Katie Hopkins calling for a "final solution"
• That fat **** Holmes calling the police "Plod" and complaining he's not being given enough information
• Erasure's Andy Bell saying we can't complain about this because of our actions in Syria & Iraq
• A supposed Christian saying that the death were deserved because Ariana Grande and her music is immoral
• A black guy celebrating the fact it was white people targeted
• A Scottish guy celebrating the death of English people
• People tweeting pictures of people who they don't know or they've got off the internet saying they're relatives and they haven't heard from them after the concert
• A rag troll saying it was a pity Guardiola's family weren't killed

WTF is wrong with people?

That's a special collection of cunts right there

Disgusting cowardly act on innocent people yet again carried out by some fucking wanker who thinks he will go to heaven and collect his virgins as a prize...hope the **** burns in hell forever.

R.I.P all those that were murdered and sympathies to all their family and friends.

Getting a little bit pissed off with the coverage now - out today and LBC, TalkRadio, 5Live all of them have been trying to out-grief each other see who can get the most eyewitnesses on - wall to wall heart wrenching stories that in reality is just grief porn making hay at the expense of these sad, sad events. Why not do some actual journalistic reporting eh people?
