1801 - Eye witness account of the trouble in Manchester

As yesterday's train got to Manchester
I was tipped off that there might be trouble
In a text sent just then by my daughter
And sure enough as I came down the hill
From Piccadilly Station I saw all
These cops, some on horseback, guarding the way
To Market Street, now inaccessible
I threaded my way round to St Ann's Square
Where youths, intoxicated with power
Were looting the Three mobile phone shop there
A shop I've been in to get technical
Help with my phone difficulties. So they
Are suggesting solutions, but from where
Is the money coming to make us well?
