Today marks 30 years since the IRA bomb tore through Manchester.

This photo, taken from Mr Thomas’s Chop House, captures a dark moment in our history, but what followed was a masterclass in resilience. Manchester didn’t just recover; it rebuilt into the vibrant city we love today. Stronger together.

What’s your memory of the days events?

@ronmanagernottm In an uncharacteristic moment of coolness, I had Joy Division on mine. Probably around 1981-2.

This show is now an artefact. It all seems so anachronistic. Their snobbery is so old hat. “The richest man in the world, who is working to send man to Mars, is so stupid he can’t have read the Odyssey hohoho the only Homer he has heard of is Simpson hoho”

People don't realize how absurd this view actually is.

A camera. On a robot. On Mars.

Built by humans on a planet 140 million miles away, launched on a rocket, landed using a sky crane, and now driving across an alien desert taking pictures so detailed you can count the rocks.

100 years ago, your great-grandparents thought airplanes were a miracle.

You are scrolling past Mars on your phone.

BBC PAID HIM 6X MORE. THE TRIBUNAL SAID THAT WAS ILLEGAL. THE BBC SAID IT WAS COMPLICATED.

Samira Ahmed @SamiraAhmedUK presented Newswatch on @BBC for years. Same format. Same length. Same job. Read viewer feedback on camera, wrap it up, go home.

Jeremy Vine @theJeremyVine did exactly the same thing on Points of View.

She got £440 per episode. He got £3,000.

Ahmed spent years trying to fix it quietly through internal BBC processes. The BBC said there was no problem.

She filed for tribunal. In January 2020, the tribunal ruled unanimously in her favour. The BBC could not explain the difference. They tried. They argued Vine needed "a glint in the eye" and to be "cheeky."

The tribunal said that was not a skill. It was a story the BBC told itself.

The total underpayment was close to £700,000. Sarah Montague, another BBC woman, settled separately for around £400,000.

The National Union of Journalists flagged around 70 more cases waiting resolution internally. After Ahmed won, 700 BBC women received pay rises.

The BBC's statement after losing? They regretted it had gone to tribunal.

Not that they paid a woman six times less than a man for the same work for years. Just that it became public.
