Pray for Manchester

[brexitstolemyfuture]

Explosion reported in Manchester area, hopefully it's nothing

Sum are you still based in Manchester?

Yes, ComingUp, I can hear helicopters, although that's not too unusual.

I'm in manchester and also remember being so devastated when our city was attacked and bombed last time. I'm lying in bed listening to our brave emergency services racing to who knows what trauma. So so upsetting.

Another Mancunian here. I imagine Gillys daughter is at the school that had its windows blown out when the Arndale was bombed.

I appreciate Pray for Manchester

Oh fuck controlled explosion very soon near the Cathedral, I hope all the kids at Cheethams are OK tonight.

Was in aflecks when the bomb went off in the arndale in the 90's.

Prayers all round here.

Sum I'm old enough to remember an incendiary device going off in - what is now Primark in the early 70's.

Nineteen confirmed dead and another fifty injured. Appalling.

Just horrendous.

Awful. Thoughts are with everyone in the area and those killed or injured.

Valfarlane, your posts are an utter disgrace. Piss off.

19 dead and up to 50 injured. It's been confirmed as a terririst attack. Pray for Manchester indeed. Valfarlane Fuck off! I hope you're proud of yourself! My two nieces are at that concert. I'm still awake and waiting for news that they are ok - please God we don't hear otherwise

Cher has just sent prayers to Manchester
Thank you.
Manchester is a wonderful city
My thoughts are with the families of those murdered and injured tonight

Penny- am thinking of you and praying for their safe return.

Thank you Dixie. Still no news yet

Penny a lot of people just dropped their phones when it happened so that's probably why so many are not contactable.

just went down to watch sky news for a few mins absolutely shocking to hear my heart goes out to all involved 😱😢.

Any news from your nieces penny? I hope they're safe and well.

Prayers for all the scared and traumatised families. Prayers for all the helpers who are rallying round to support as they can, and for the emergency workers.

What awful news to wake up to

I also remember the arndale bombs

So many devastated lives

Big love to Manchester today

Just awful My thoughts and love to everyone caught up in this.

Prayers yes - but ffs, that's all we do. Pray for Paris. Pray for London. Pray for Berlin. Pray for Tunisia and Marseilles and Orlando and Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan... why can't human beings just fucking stop killing each other?

I'm from Manchester. I was there in 1996 when the Arndale was bombed. I've been to countless events at the MEN. My heart is breaking and I'm so angry.

The only light in the tunnel is that for every murdering cunt, there are literally hundreds of thousands of good people:

Thinking of all of those affected by this

So tragic.

The last thing we need is more religion though.

Awful news to wake up to.

Heart goes out to everyone involved.

religion will motivate some of those offering help - churches are often the first places to open their doors to help, although they werent this time.

We do need more religion - we need muslims pointing out that their god does not condone slaughter of innocents.

Taxi drivers offered free lift homes, people opened their houses, hotels opend their doors to the stranded.

Prayers may offer comfort to some and are all I can offer right now since I dont live in Manchester.

The most terrible news to wake up to.

I've actually cried. I think it's the fact it was children targeted.

What is the world coming to.
