There's a report of a raid/explosions in Fallowfield. Any truth in these reports?

Yeah, close to where they have arrested the 23 yr old. They used a controlled explosion to gain access to the property

Haven't heard anything. I'm opposite the big Sainsbury's so not really in 'true' Fallowfield. I'll see if I can find anything out though 

i believe the arrest is nearer to princess parkway than the student end where you are, shocking as i cycle down there every day, can't believe this is happening so close to home

They have arrested a 23 year old man in south Manchester.

Just read the Evening News. They have announced a couple of the peoole who have died. One of them is an eight year old child. What kind of sick fuck even thinks of doing sonething like this?

Fuck it, I am off to buy records from the vinyl exchange. Bastards are not stopping me going a out my life.

As the father of 2 daughters who I have had to drop off and pick up from concerts Inc the Manchester arena this tragedy has hit hard . I cannot comprehende the callousness of such a cowardly act . I cannot even begin to imagine the pain of the families involved . I don't have any words to comfort them but as with everyone here I am thinking of you all .

Have you seen this?

Seems to be about 5 minutes after police were called.  'Hopefully' he's concussed and will turn up soon.  Of course clocks aren't necessarily that accurate.  Here's hoping. 

Yeah I saw that, hopefully the time is correct

Also might be worth another drive of sharing any information about his tattoo, clothes etc. Any hospital staff that were on shift last night may be waking up or might spot something if they are back on tonight. 

My friend is a nurse at one of the hospitals and was in shock when she messaged our group today. It seems it was quite an overwhelming night and they may have been too focused on the patient's medical needs to take note of identify at the time but might spark a memory today. 

Good luck x

This has deeply saddened and disgusted me in equal measure. I travel to Manchester everyday so it is a concern but what else are we supposed to do? Not live?

Exactly. It took me nearly 4 hours to get to work. Walking towards the past the arndale and shudehill was a very surreal experience. Almost silent. You could hear nothing other than the constant trudging of feet.

I have things to do though... I say "bollocks" if people think some bastard with a bomb is gunna stop me.

    • Skylink is 24 hours... But the skylink will drop you off at Pegasus business Park or EMA (East Midlands Airport) where you'll have to use the Download shuttle link, which isn't 24 hours. The last shuttle from the Download transport hub to EMA is 12:15 TrentBarton / Local bus info here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/download2026   Skylink Derby / Leicester / Loughborough timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/services/skylinkderby  Shuttle timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/userfiles/hotel.pdf If you miss the shuttle, which is very doubtful, you'll just have to find another way to EMA / Pegasus business park, maybe a taxi. You could even walk to EMA from the Download transport hub, wouldn't take too long. Just make sure you use the airport's 'circular path' instead of the dangerous roads.  I walk the circular path often, it's nice and easy. I would post instructions but I very much doubt you'll miss the shuttle, and if you do, it isn't hard to work out. The footpath is clearly signposted from directly opposite / across the road from where the download map has labelled "Pickup and Drop Off Exit." 
    • So for Harry Styles it was actually a plastic bag that basically blocks the view of the front and back cameras. You can still use the phone screen. It's much easier than using lockers, especially for people leaving for the last train etc    I think it's basically reliant on the threat of security kicking you out if you start filming.
    • Hey, does anybody have a joining link for the WhatsApp group plz? I know the secret sets get posted there but have a new phone and number
