GREATER Manchester Police have been accused of 'racial profiling' and 'structural racism' after large groups of Irish Traveller and Gypsy children were forced onto trains out of Manchester city centre.
Leaders from the Travelling community have written to GMP Chief Constable Stephen Watson to call for an apology and a 'full investigation' into the weekend's 'utterly deplorable' events.
They accuse the force of 'racial profiling, over-policing and violent restraint of Romany Gypsy and Irish Traveller children' saying it was 'not an isolated event, but a clear example of structural racism' The chaotic scenes at Victoria station, the Arndale and around the Christmas Markets came after GMP signed a dispersal order allowing them to turn people away from much of the city centre.
