ANGER AFTER MANCHESTER MOMENTUM TWEETS A PHOTO OF 'TORY EFFIGIES' HANGING FROM A SALFORD BRIDGE

The protest banner was strung across the footbridge at Peel Park in Salford overnight and an image of it was posted on Twitter by the Manchester branch of the Momentum group with the tag line of “Good morning @Conservatives. Welcome to Manchester", two effigies of what we assume to are meant to symbolise Tory members, were hung from the side of the bridge.

However,  Salford Council acted quickly to have it removed as has the offensive tweet.

No one has so far claimed responsibility for the disgusting display.

This is not the first time either, last year a similar banner was put up and with the Conservative Party conference in neighbouring Manchester over the coming week, tensions are high as protesters march upon the Manchester Central venue where it is being held.

The PM, Boris Johnson, and his party are up in the north for their annual conference which is always met with protests and this year is no different as 'Anti-Austerity and Reject Brexit' campaigners descend upon the city.

The banner and dummies have been widely condemned by all sides on Twitter. 

In a reply to a post by Tory delegate Kerry Boyd, one lady summed things up nicely by saying,

Quote

"The country may be divided on politics, and the policies surrounding austerity, but there is no need for this appalling, vitriolic language & the lurking, malicious intent behind it - not from any party."
