Agree.. one of the council houses I grew up in had an oak tree in the garden and a crack house opposite. Older social housing was built to be a nice place to live. Having lived in south Manchester I did find the description of Burnage as a leafy suburb a bit something,

The lack of empathy some people have for Palestinians is crazy. If my grandparents had been expelled from their country and I was to this day legally barred from going back there, I would definitely feel some type of way about it!

My fav picks from fat out fest! And of course my new band Border Widow will also be playing our very first show 8.30pm on the Saturday 21st September.
