What an intelligent, thought provoking article and an example of why an independent press is needed. The thing that struck me was the comment about how Manchester and it’s money hadn’t reached Oldham ‘yet’. It’s impossible for a town to or area to thrive and to offer its residents a good quality of life with hope and opportunity lacking, but that is clearly, to me anyway, where the likes of Miah peddle their filth. Taking advantage of social depression and galvanising those affected into action. It makes me not only fearful for Oldham but extremely angry.
