Patients and staff were locked inside a doctors’ surgery for nearly an hour after men threatened to “trash” the building.
Staff at Waters Meeting Health Centre in Waters Meeting Road, Astley Bridge, decided to lock the doors to protect staff and patients at about 2.30pm on Monday.
Police were called when two men started being aggressive and threatening to “trash” the building, but no arrests were made.No arrests? Why not?
A police spokesman said: “A 29-year-old man was given a fixed penalty notice for public order offences.”Hmmm....
Now, normally, I'd skip straight to the comments to get the skinny. But it seems I wasn't quick enough:

So wrong to give these criminals anonymity. It doesn't matter what their nationality is, we have a right to know.

BIG BROTHER strikes again, removing comments the liberal/labour press don't agree with.Hmmm,. indeed. It seems local newspapers are starting to realise the MONA card can't be played while comments are allowed!

Removing comments that are racist. Once again people seem on intent on imagining a race angle on a story that has nothing to do with ethnicity and makes no mention of it.Thanks for giving the game away, Julian...
Just had a look at the health centre website and this jumped out.
