Manchester police have had enough aggro recently.
If I was a Manchester council tax payer I would be groaning at the extra costs your protest will generate.

There are better ways to register your discontent
write to your MP - sign the on line petition - VOTE!

Instead you are just having a bikers day out to disrupt commerce and traffic in the city
you don't thow sickies when you work fo youself and employ several people, however I did find a little time to get this thread going. I worked from 7am yesterday through til 8.30pm, that is my typical day
With regards to the cost of policing just think how much tax I pay every year in fuel duty, with six vehicles on the road my weekly fuel cost is approx £250 x 50 working weeks = £12,500 cost of which 60% is tax, I think that allows me to be a little p----d off
And yes I am having a day off with pay, why because I deserve it
