A bloke who had seen what went on had been to see the manager to complain that the lads had been kicked out for doing nothing. He comes out of the building...
Bloke: I was taking my sons to see the paintings and as we walked in I was behind this group of lads. As they approached reception they were stopped from going in and there was a little bit of an argument and I heard the management say they couldn’t come in. He said I could go in and then security came along and ejected them which I thought was totally inappropriate.
I went and asked the manager what was going on - he said there was a group of guys with hoods on - I said I was there when they said they’d take their hoods off and he said it doesn’t matter they’re still not coming in… I told him it was a council funded organisation and he explained to me that it was a charity and not a council funded project. He didn’t have any answers.
Basically they were local lads coming in to look at the pictures on Sunday afternoon because they were bored stiff and they were denied access to a facility in Salford which we’ve been told is open to everyone. It’s an absolute disgrace. |
