Apparently the armed police are from the anti terrorist squad. Not sure if that’s because it actually is an anti terror incident or if that’s just who was available.Christ. So bloke doesn't want his kid taken.
Madness, hope the kid is ok
Still going on now isn’t it?Fkn hell didn't realise it was still going on. Hope all ok. Obv earlier was being flippant about the amount of police for just one bloke, but genuinely hope all are ok, not only kids but local residents that they didn't allow to leave either.
2 loud bangs just gone off, dunno if its related though.
Heard these in Chapelfields and feared the worst... Fingers crossed that the fact things till appear to be ongoing is a good sign
What time was this? I'm close by and didn't hear anything?

Wonder why they’ve not said enough is enough. They must have intel that says he’s potentially armedTelegraph
"What the police will do if it carries on"
Answer, just wait longer

I reckon it is nothing more than one nutter with a gun (which could be fake). Police have backed them self into a corner here now. If the police had genuine concerns as to the safety of the child they would be going in, the fact that they are not makes them look a bit daft to me.
They won't storm somewhere with a child unless they seriously think the child is in immediate danger or if they think he's got some sort of bomb.
Look at that bowling alley siege in Nuneaton where he had two hostages, they'd gone in by now.
They're not calling the navy in as well are they?Agree, they must think the child is not at threat or they would storm in, but how long do they wait? In the mean time he is asking for fish finger sandwhiche's!!
Ketchup or Mayo, just jokingAgree, they must think the child is not at threat or they would storm in, but how long do they wait? In the mean time he is asking for fish finger sandwhiche's!!
Get that there's a child involved but can't help thinking there's more involved. They've had a large area sealed off for 2 days now with schools & businesses shut and residents told not to leave their homes without a police escort.
The sheer number of armed officers on the scene doesn't seem right for one person with a kid even if he is armed.
Time to send Gazza in with a few beers and a bucket of KFC.
My front door is literally a 3 second walk away from houses that have been made to stay inside where as I can fill my boots. There’s nothing more to it other than they’ve chosen an area to lock down.
Yes, I understand it's closed up to the Highland Rd junction, where my mate lives. He's just pissed off that he had to walk all the way round and along Albany to get to Earlsdon for his breakfastMy front door is literally a 3 second walk away from houses that have been made to stay inside where as I can fill my boots.
