Manchester attack: Election campaigning 'too soon for some'?

On the first weekend since the Manchester attack, many people are carrying flowers and balloons around the city centre and heading in just one direction.

The queue at St Ann's Square to lay tributes to those killed and injured in the attack stretches back about 260ft (80m) from the church to the Royal Exchange Theatre, as people wait patiently to quietly reflect on what had happened in a place so familiar and "close to home".

Elsewhere in the city centre though, it is like any other Saturday, with bustling shoppers on Market Street, children playing in Piccadilly Gardens' fountains and people gathering to listen to street performers.

It is a city in flux and one which is now, as with the rest of the nation, back in the grip of general election campaigning, following the three-day pause in the wake of the terror attack.

But is Manchester ready to move on and talk politics?

I think that to delay would be giving in to the filth that murdered and injured those people, but I did notice at the forefront of the Asian couples mind in the article was that politicians should not take advantage of the attack.
