I was not best pleased, en route to see my dad who is 89 and not in the best of health, to see my home city of Manchester hijacked my fascist bastards who gridlocked the place and ensured it took 90 minutes to traverse six miles on the bus . Complete chaos. What the hell were GMP thinking of to allow such mayhem for the sake of a few neo-Nazi nutters? How many thousands of pounds did it cost?
I met a woman at the bus-stop seriously worried about her 19-year-old daughter who was engaging in the demo against the fascists.I'm glad people were saying what they thought but frankly Manchester should never have allowed this march to happen.

Sadly it's the price of democracy.
"Manchester should never have allowed this march to happen"
Isn't that what they said about the Chartists at Peterloo Fields ?
I hardly think the two are comparable. And, given that the city was basically cordoned off for the sake of about 100 fanatics, it's not a price worth paying
"I hardly think the two are comparable."
There-in lies the difference between a true liberal and a partial liberal.

Both the police and the council said because it was a static gathering and not a march they had no powers to stop it. There was a march though.
I think it could have been allowed, but elsewhere rather than using the route given. Plenty of precedents for that!
The price of democracy is not worth paying, phew I think it is.
