Greater Manchester Police Twitter Feed
It’s radio snooping for the 21st Century.

Breaking news – police called with a complaint about homeless people in Wigan.

Bloody homelesses.

call451man at driving test centre causing a disturbance.

What’s Smee upto these days?

I think this is a great idea.

I completely agree – it really brings into focus what shit the police have to wade through to get to real criminal stuff.

Of course there will now be a glut of copycat campaigns from all sorts of public bodies.

it really brings into focus what shit the police have to wade through to get to real criminal stuff.

Exactly – some of the stuff must be really demoralising. My other half doesn’t go into details, but pretty much comes home on a daily basis with heavy shoulders from a day where she has had to deal with rubbish – most of it bought on by the Policing Pledge in my opinion.

This sort of shit sums it up…

My favourite so far…..

Call 384 report of man holding baby over bridge – police immediately attended and it was man carrying dog that doesn’t like bridges #gmp24

BTW – when the current feed stops working, just add the next consequitive number after 24 (ie, 24_5 etc)

I think there is a restriction on how many Tweets they can do in a day so they keep adding new accounts.

or search the hashtag #gmp24

You do realise it’s just tracking Hora?

or search the hashtag #gmp24

Fair enough – I am a Twitter idiot.
