The defendants say they didn't realise it was police and were acting in self-defence. Here is my round-up from court todayπ
10.07.2025 19:15 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The jury trying two brothers accused of attacking armed police at Manchester Airport were shown some distressing body-cam footage today of a woman PC sobbing after she was punched in the face
10.07.2025 19:15 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The jurors were shown graphic footage which captured one officer suffering a broken nose while another was captured kicking one of the accused in the head after he had suffered a series of blows to his head

07.07.2025 19:22 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0This is one of the most bizarre stories I've read all year...
02.06.2025 09:28 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Lots of chatter about a lack of political judgment here but, honestly, I'm not sure Dougie Joyce has done much wrong π
02.06.2025 09:28 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0It's been, erm, a crap season all round at Old Trafford, what with all the mouse droppings and shite footie

What a joy it was to meet this guy, Mark Welch, who like so many in the NHS saved life and limb when the bomb went off at Manchester Arena eight years ago todayπ
22.05.2025 18:58 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0This does seem less than welcoming if you're among the travelling Reds tonight

03.04.2025 10:21 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Looks like at least 13 of Man Utd's handiest scrappers (allegedly) won't be going to the derby on Sunday
03.04.2025 10:21 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Which is a shame because it's one my favourite words...
27.03.2025 17:46 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0My news editor absolutely insists I shouldn't use the word 'trousered' when writing stories about the rising pay of top earners in GMP

Is it a co-incidence that GMP was in crisis in 2020 when one fairly routine 999 call ended in lives ruined? I'm not sure it is

I could imagine doing 117mph to get away from Ikea, but not never to get to it. Some folk really do love their flatpack furniture

Dispersals orders are all the rage in GMP at the moment - not everyone is a fan though. The competing arguments are having a right old tussle atm...

The sense of grievance felt by Paddy Doherty, Tommy Joyce and other members of the Traveller communities was palpable today

Leaders from those Traveller communities have been invited to talks with GMP next week
29.11.2024 18:12 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0For Traveller communities at least, the rank or role makes no difference and BOTH have questions to answer
29.11.2024 18:10 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0
GMP bosses are standing by the decisions which led to Traveller children being turned away last weekend. Some of the cops on the ground who did the turning away, however, may well have some explaining to do
