Riots In Manchester

20:24 Peaceful.

Friday 12th August: 15:26

There were reports of a possible flare in activity over the weekend but it seems unlikely. Any word and we’ll let you know.

Those rumours of people being kicked out of their houses for involvement in the riots are seemingly true, with the first eviction notice already having been served to a resident in Battersea.

Don’t forget to read our article by Jonathan Mitchell, reflecting on the past few days.

Coverage from Wednesday and Tuesday night can be found by using the Page links at the bottom of this post.

    People laving work early again tonight in the city centre as groups are beginning to form. Bigger police presence on the streets tonight though, so hopefully it wont get near as bad as last night.
