    So things seem a bit mad in Manchester

    That should be 'mad for it'.

    Yeah I realised I'd missed a trick there.

    There's stuff on Twitter with a load of teenage girls screaming but that seems par for the course for an Ariana Grande gig.

    It's pretty mental to think that, although I've never been to the Manchester Arena, if this had been at Hedon HSBC this afternoon I could have died.

    I reckon it's people being crushed as everyone panics and rushes out. It'll have been a room full of kids/teenagers too.

    Tim Farron has denounced it as a "shocking and horrific attack targeting children", despite nobody confirming that it was, in fact, an attack and not just a gas explosion or similar.

    It almost certainly is, but for fuck sake, let's at least wait for confirmation. The news channels have already gone into overdrive.

    If these suicide bomber claims are true then this is probably a new low.

    Horrible news to wake up to. Feels very different reading about a suicide bomber when it has happened in a city you've lived in.

    And agreed. Bombing a gig full of kids is as low as it gets.

    This is very strange. The number of deaths was confirmed pretty quickly - but we still haven't seen any images/videos of the explosion, or heard any first hand accounts from people that saw the explosion.

    Luckily Sky News are on the case, "the most horrific part of this incident is that Ariana Grande has 105m Instagram followers... she is so popular". Er, ok.

    Fucking hell - this is when Sky News are at their most terrible.

    Interviewing a witness...

    Presenter: So, what happened?
    Witness: We were heading towards the foyer (where the explosion happened), but we were turned back by security because it was busy
    Presenter: So you were heading to the foyer just before the explosion?
    Witness: yeah, thankfully, we were turned away
    Presenter: What would have happened if you weren't turned away?
    Witness: Well, we may have got caught up in the explosion
    Presenter: And then what would have happened to you?
    Witness: Well, we would have been at the foyer when it exploded
    Presenter: And what would have happened to you?
    Witness: well.... we might have died.

    Stray retards are incredibly hard to predict. That's what makes all of this extra bullshit.
