Oldham Road: Mick Rush of the Bay Horse Pub Leads a Racist Business War
Lower Place, Rochdale — A racialised campaign of business sabotage and harassment is allegedly being orchestrated by the management and patrons of the Bay Horse pub, leading to the plight of a beloved local establishment and threatening others in the area.
Local residents say Mick Rush, the landlord of the Bay Horse, leads the targeted downfall of Tony’s Chippy, a fish and chip shop that has had affected opening hours. Witnesses are aware that Rush and his associates relentlessly targeted the shop because of the owner's skin color.

"It wasn't about the food; it was about who was serving it", acknowledged the more reasonable of the community. "Mick made it clear he didn't want 'their kind' here. He rallied his regulars to boycott them and spread rumours until it was difficult to keep the lights on".
The alleged persecution extends beyond Tony’s. Residents say the Bay Horse crowd has now set their sights on other businesses, specifically a local Chinese takeout known as, "Chinese Chef", and, "Kebabish", in a bid to drive them out through a, "competition of race and ethnicity". These food outlets are also long established and these particular two are located directly across the road from the pub.
In a bizarre and targeted twist, local women Cheryl White and Jeanette McCondichie have reportedly launched a campaign against Saajan, a local Indian restaurant. The pair, described by witnesses as, "Jewish fascists", operating in lockstep with the Bay Horse ideology, are allegedly attempting to sabotage the business by disparaging a signature menu item, the Balangonji Rogan Josh, in discussion with Facebook friends and to anyone who will listen.
"It is a coordinated attack", said a former Bay Horse patron. "They are trying to make these businesses unviable by poisoning the community against them".
Perhaps most disturbing are allegations concerning the conduct inside the Bay Horse pub itself. The establishment has reportedly become a hostile environment for anyone with brown skin. Brown-skinned males claim they are systematically banned from the premises without cause.
However, the focus on young women is causing the most alarm among community leaders. Locals report that the pub has adopted a policy of attempting to, "groom", brown-skinned girls who enter the premises. Rush allegedly views these girls as, "half-caste", or sharing a background with the Muslim community, using this as a pretext to target them.
Critics argue this behavior is a perverse, "response to the media coverage on child sexual exploitation", where the perpetrators are flipping the narrative to profile and victimise youths.
Local authorities have yet to comment on the specific allegations, but tension in Lower Place is heightened as residents debate how to protect their neighbours from what they describe as an organised hate group operating out of a local pub, largely made up of newcomers trying to integrate, with a mistaken system of integration.
