'The question with Factory is - where did all the money go?
It was a factory system. You had to do what you were told. It was based around the Situationists: cultural terrorism, subverting capitalism and public spaces. Good in theory, but it's a bit different when a south Mancunian like Wilson is at the helm. In my view it wasn't that far removed from the original factory days. Engels was a factory owner in Manchester, he had twelve year-old girls working for him, probably in the same buildings where the Hacienda was. A middle-class socialist; same as you've got now. He'd observe the kids and write about how depressed they were. Who does that remind you of? - Tony Wilson! He went on about how these working-class kids like The Happy Mondays were drug addicts; interesting degenerates.I think he knew what he was doing talking like that, because when it all went tits up they heaped the blame on The Happy Mondays.'
