Until the more reactionary elements of our village took control Moseley was known for its vibrant prostitutes. In a calculated attempt at gentrification we ran them out of town and forced them to develop local revenue streams in Balsall Heath and even Sparkbrook.

In an attempt to redress this curious imbalance some sort of artistic collective attempted to highlight the plight of local sex workers through its festival installation called “a dirty fork”.

In very few ways it represents how Moseley society has evolved over a short period of time to shun the carnal wants of conference goers whilst still leaving a very real need for much valued entrepreneurs like Sensations. On the other hand it could just be someone just trying to sell us a garden fork.

Sometimes the truth is so much more scary.
