"Whose streets?" "Our streets!" Aggressive TRAs warming up in Manchester yesterday before assaulting women, blocking the trams, and invading the Arndale centre. @GMPolice pulled out earlier and left them to it.

Here’s the full story

@gmpolice Is it just me or do these protests seem to be getting smaller each time? In 2022 TRA protests were huge and intimidating. Now? Feel much more like a group of die-hards. The average age seems to be older as well...

@gmpolice I estimated that there were about 150-200 TRAs at this event. Many were "omnicause" agitators associated with the Socialist Workers Party. There were familiar faces from the so-called "Women's March" in Manchester earlier this year.

@BlueSkye2009 @gmpolice Shame on you @gmpolice spineless, inadequate and dangerous dereliction of duty

@gmpolice People shouting "Whose streets? Our streets!" should just get themselves the brown shirts and the armbands and be done with the pretence.

@gmpolice They’re not fascists. They’re dysfunctional, pitiable misfits who have been neglected and rejected by the mainstream, and who have been exploited and weaponised by very antisocial elements.

@gmpolice These men are disgusting

@gmpolice I assume @AndyBurnhamGM turned a blind eye

@gmpolice It's outrageous that the government and police are backing these horrible people who are destroying our society and abusing our children. What the hell is going on?

@Glinner @gmpolice Blocked trams from moving...we want trams rights now!! They ask for rights but trample over everyone else's...crazy weirdos!
