Kicking off in Salford

[Matty]

Both my son and his girlfriend work in Manchester city centre. Both have been told to leave work early and som says there are police and riot vans everywhere. Some shop windows put through and arndale was closed ages ago.

Yeah, I work in the Arndale Tower offices, we were advised to go about 2:45ish. I didn't need asking twice!

Is there even a reason for this "protest"? I know people will have asked the same question but all this is pointless surely?

There doing it cos it's so easy to get away with it, the police are being for to soft.

Hi Matty
Seems most have been allowed to leave early. Hopefully the police presence will be enough to contain things. Not holding my breath though.

This to a tee. Some still insist its political. WRONG! Some think its because someone got killed. WRONG! It's just scum doing something where in any other country they'd be dealt with harshly. Twats and now its in gods own city.

Utter wankers.

The thing is though, 3 1/2 hours ago I was told to go home as GMP knew this was going to happen at the Arndale. So, where are they? Throw a few cops at the situation, they'd shit out and not bother, that picture hardly shows a huge crowd now does it? Wade in with batons and twat a few of the fuckers, the rest will run home scared.

Cheers guys this is so confusing? Why dont the police just use more force?

People are appearing in droves reckon close to 1000 now. Complete disregard for police presence. Scary stuff. #Salford #ukriots
