Rochdale Alternative Website: Need to Focus on Rochdale FGS!

More premature ejaculations from the nutty boys at the Rochdale Alternative Website RAW, spawn of RAP blog site. Obviously benighted Rochdale townsfolk, treated like the proverbial mushrooms, are going to be a bit sniffy about PR Paul Rowen trousering a cool million for himself and his cronies, and his excessive Battersea dog's home, with plenty sticking to the fundraising tins of the local Libdemologists, but let's keep it real.

Many of the poorest estates in Western Europe are in Rochdale, multi-generation unemployment is rampant, and those in work have relatively low average incomes.

But who cares about PR Paul Rowen's bit-on-the-side associations with Rochdale and Ugandan property developers? Still less some charidee orphanage in East Africa? It'll be like water off a Drake's back. One of these days they'll learn to harness the RAW energy and catch the man shopping in Bury Town Centre, sharing his milk order and paper clips with McBridivist politicos, or something else Rochdale folk actually care about.

Finangling property companies, with tenants including Lib Dem Town Hall departments? Mysterious loner Austrian photography hobbyists? And Ugandan relations? Give us a break RAW, give us a break.
