Well said. Rattle stuck his head above the parapet to do the right thing. Fair point about infantilization, but once you have decided to be the responsible one, you have to see it through.
I don't know Manchester very well these days. I spent a night at the Travelodge at Ordsall ("Salford Quays" sounds so much nicer) not long after Kiaran Stapleton shot dead an Indian student nearby on Boxing Day 2011, and found myself walking back there late on. Statistically it might be safe but I wouldn't advise wandering about there in the early hours.
