Police Arrive To Quell Violence In Edinburgh.

In an area of Edinburgh where one serious assault is carried out every day , the police finally arrive in a show of force to protect the public.
The presence of 2 large financial institutions and the g8 protests on this street are a mere coincidence .
Hopefully once these protests have blown over , the citizens of Edinburgh can breathe a collective sigh of relief and go back to what they do best : attacking each other outside the pizza shops and taxi ranks of Lothian Road.

Piss off Englishman, the days of our city being full of people "attacking each other outside the pizza shops and taxi ranks" are gone. This is a vibrant, multi-cultural, succesful place which doesn't need smug English visitors to come and tell us what we are doing wrong.

Have your little weekend away and go home

Go away and get a wash and a life

The problem is the police and their masters, not the people of Scotland and England.

as edinburgh born and bread i have had a nice day in the sun.

its been nice.

violence? yeah - i saw that, some tossers picking on some spannish protesters in the grassmarket. other than that nothing.

some people need to be a bit more independent minded reading the drivel of the evening news. they predicted terror, what they got ought to have them coming out appoligising, but the fannies wont will they. we know that.

think for yourself, ally, and pete. look at the facts.
