Police have now confirmed there have been a number of fatalities (that's what's on Sky News anyway).
Seems serious, but a lot of it's speculation for now!

Terrible, loads of different reports on where it happened and what it was (bomb, speaker system etc)
Loads of children without guardians are in the local Holiday Inn
British Transport Police have said it was in the foyer, but the cause is still not known.
I can feel my blood pressure already rising.

If this is what we think it is then response needs to be anger and action, not candles and tears. Enough of this.
NHS sources are saying the explosion at Manchester Arena was a nail bomb attack. Still unconfirmed.

Well of course they're using anti-terrorist protocols - they don't know what happened yet and that's what looks a likely answer, but all psychic predictions are pointless right now. At the moment it's very much the time for caring and not getting angry about what might have happened. Making sure everyone is as safe as they can be right now is the priority, pointing fingers doesn't help at this moment in time
Here's some footage from tonight below so people understand exactly what it is that the odious London Mayor Sadiq Khan believes we should basically get used to as it's 'part and parcel' of big city life. I don't accept this as part of British life and never ever will.
UNCONFIRMED reports of a gunman outside Oldham Hospital. The place is on lockdown.

Worst terror attack since 7/7 12 years ago
There will be a controlled explosion in Cathedral gardens shortly if you hearing anything don't be concerned.
— Greater Manchester Police (@gmpolice) May 23, 2017
Controlled explosion was abandoned clothing, better safe than sorry
There are people posting images of randomers on twitter claiming that they're missing persons, how fucked up do you have to be to take away search efforts from people who actually need them
This is so frightening :(

If this is Islamic State then this is a direct attack on our soil I want airstrikes to pound the living daylights out of them.
And more.
why an ariana grande concert
I know about five people that went to Ariana Grande's concert, as far as I know they're all ok.
Such a senseless act, I can't imagine what it would've been like trying to get out. I think it raises a serious question about the security of such venues - they're incredibly hard to protect and if terrorists can cause such havoc without even entering the actual arena ...
I imagine in the coming days more information will emerge about both the attacker and the victims. Poor Ariana :(
RIP to those who have died <3
The Arndale has had an evacuation, surrounding areas have been evacuated too.

I was looking at the twitter of one of the victims and one of her tweets before the incident sent shivers down my spine, as it said: "Kill me, kill me, kill me, tell me they're in Manchester" or something similar.

It was 18 y/o Georgina who tweeted that but that was about her being excited that her friends were coming to visit her I believe. She tweeted this last yearQuote:

Also it's an attack on both Britain and America by using one of their biggest stars of the moment, so gives it all more publicity which is what terror's really about.Quote:

Doing something like that is bad enough, but to do it at a concert where there is loads of children is even worse. In the clip where you can hear the explosion, the point where the explosion happens and the screaming gets louder as the clip goes on is horrible. I hope anyone who is still searching for someone who is missing finds them. I find it disgusting also that people are posting fake missing people, in times like these we need to come together and help, not make matters worse.
It just makes you feel like you can't do anything without the risk of someone doing something like this, for whatever reasons they have.
PM May says police believe they know the attacker's identity but won't reveal it for now
A 23-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident
John Atkinson the 3rd victim named.
My heart goes out to all the families.
It's difficult to combat this type of thing as we don't know who they are.

Just awful :( Bad enough that anyone died, but when kids are killed it just amplifies it.
FUCK EVERYTHING. Fucking kids man. Children at a concert. Been feeling just so awful reading and watching all the news all day. Fuck terrorists and fuck people who think it's fine to blow up children. Not gonna stop us though is it cos we're better than that.
