Mottie, the streets of Gorton are like that now, the damage has already been done. The mistake in that picture is the two people....you rarely see white folk in Gorton. A couple of junkies like those will have long since been displaced and be living rough around the city centre. Junkie tooth loss happens after junkie home loss usually. The houses are now full of foreign dole-drawers and drug dealers, hence the vote for the Greens.
The hell hole of red brick buildings at the start of that clip is a place called Longsight, which is next to Gorton. It is a stone's throw from Rusholme, where your little Spline was born. It was a normal, grubby part of Manchester in the 50s and 60s. Plenty of churches and pubs. There were always immigrants (in my living memory) mostly of the harmless Irish variety. The decline started in the 70s with the West Indians, and the place quickly became a drug-infested, gangland hell. Since Blair, the Irish and Carribeans are nowhere to be seen, the place has very quickly become an exclave of Pakistan. A white blonde woman like Hannah Spencer would never go there in a million years. Wetherspoons opened a pub some years ago, just near where she was standing. It didn't last long....
