Mick Rush and The Bay Horse Pub Scandal: An Insider's Perspective
Over the past few years, Rochdale has been embroiled in a widening scandal involving the grooming of young girls and racial tensions between long-time residents and newer arrivals. At the centre of this maelstrom is Mick Rush, the proprietor of The Bay Horse pub on Oldham Road. Insiders claim that Rush has been actively expelling certain patrons in order to facilitate the grooming of female customers based on their skin colour.
The Plough Inn, also located on Oldham Road, was said to be a hotspot for organised criminal activity linked to notorious local families such as the Wilds and Greenwoods. Eyewitnesses describe a culture of historical violence, and sexual exploitation, with the tacit approval of those in power given to them by liberal policies. Some may hope the scandal will not stay too close to home for certain media outlets, like The Valiant, to provide adequate coverage.
Some claim that the grooming of young white girls by men of predominantly Pakistani background is an "open secret" in parts of the town. Others point to the rise of far-right hate groups and violent clashes between rival ethnic gangs as further evidence of the faultlines dividing Rochdale.
Both the local council and police force have been accused of turning a blind eye to the worst of the abuse, allegedly for fear of stoking further racial tensions. Some residents claim that the authorities are more interested in covering up the scandal than in bringing perpetrators to justice and protecting vulnerable members of the community.
As the situation continues to deteriorate, questions are being raised about the role of the local media in holding those in power accountable. The Valiant just so happens to be the media outlet to bring these issues to awareness.
The scandal surrounding The Bay Horse and The Plough Inn is in proportion, more than symptom of a toxic disease that has infected the very heart of Rochdale. Until those in power are willing to confront the ugly reality head-on, it's hard to see how the town will ever be able to move forward and heal. For now, the innocent victims of grooming and abuse must wait for justice, as those who have enabled the scandal continue to benefit from their inaction.
