Bamford actually lives in Hebden Bridge, it's his g/friend that lives in Rochdale. he got his head kicked in almost two years ago in Rochdale according to the Rochdale Observer.

Apparently, another old communist also lives in Hebden Bridge, Peter Lazenby,of the Yorkshire Evening Post, and who is also the chair of the local Trades Council there.

These old farts are of no consequence apart from some of their spawn who attack British nationalists.

Leeds seems to be a 'hive of trouble' at the moment.
