Anti-bailiff campaigners branded the annual Debt Collection Awards last night in Manchester as a sick event that ‘celebrated other people’s misery’.

Pro-Palestine protesters gathered in their masses at Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens with the hope of bringing attention back to the humanitarian crisis caused by the Gaza conflict.

Protests at Barton Moss fracking site, Kedem Jewellery on King Street and Manchester Pride may seem to have little in common beyond seeing angry campaigners calling for change.
