VIDEO footage circulated on social media at the weekend showed Greater Manchester Police (GMP) forcing Gypsy and Traveller children out of the city centre and onto a train.

In one video, a distressed young man shouted: “I don’t know where I’m going!” as a row of police lined the platform and forced them onto a carriage. 

One girl, 13 and from Doncaster — ended up more than 100 miles away from Manchester in Grimsby, her mother reported.
