AD: “Just still over the murder a few years ago when they fell out. Branch is back on his high horse. Dunno where he’s popped back up from. He was in glasto. Pulled a big knife out to Ian Fitz and said where’s Saz he’s getting stabbed up.”
Sophie: “Omg what the hell….“is that over when he got robbed?”
A: “So like if ye gonna do something it’s been three years. Yeah
S: “I don’t know the full story, I just heard years ago the hillsiders robbed him. But like why not do something about it three years ago
A: “Lee never took his side and they was best mates but Branch had been bumping Lee for ages saying he owed so much when he was putting stuff in the work so really he owed less and less used to answer all the phone so all the running round so Branch was taking the piss out of Lee.
“He was threatening to come here but he never come like.”
S: “Don’t lie heavy that”
AD: “Then he just disappeared for years and now someone’s obv rattled his cage. It’s scary cos he’s on some pure rampage
S: “Obviously Lee is with the hillsiders. So like is Branch going to take them all on on his own. Cos Zest won’t back him up
AD: “Thats What Lee is saying that’s why he hasn’t really done anything cos he knows Lee has everyone backing him and they aren’t assed.”
S: “Thats just all madness. He’s horrible him. He used to just knock me sick. Freak.”
Mr Greaney: “We discover the following among other things from this exchange between the two friends: a. First, that Branch is “out for Lee” and that Ashley’s “nerves are gone over it all”; b.
