Are you still expecting something or have you juts teased us all for nothing

further investigation seemed to say it was a Tory fantasy, (Vile effiedeans wrote a story check her twitter feed) It revolved round the missing £600k and polis closing in on Murrell Gloag and Souter mentioned in the story also.

Ok thanks. It does seem like a bit of a strange business so wouldn't be surprised if we hear more about it at some point in the future

Well, this has taken a bit of an unsavoury turn.

Not really.

I just meant that the wasters that you see roaming Union Street are home grown wasters, not imported ones.

We have quite a cosmopolitan bunch of homeless people on the streets of the city centre. If you stop to speak to them or give them some money (I ken, shouldn't encourage them. Plenty of work available if they want it, etc, etc) but they seem to come from quite a few different places. The lad I spoke to the other week was Lithuanian.

They appear to be predominantly of Roma extraction. I gave one of them a Tesco sandwich on Saturday evening and he looked very unimpressed. I wonder why?

Guitar wifie was/is a regular thief in the charity shops apparently.

They're a pain in the a'rse everywhere.

During the day I see the homeless or early mornings.
You can always tell a real homeless person from a fake beggar.

I think I know the 'roma' folk you refer too. They used to stay in a block of flats in Menzies Road. My Son used to go to school with one of the little kids when he was in P1and they used to take him begging on Union Street, this is when it all started around 10 years ago and there were lots of them. They were shocked when social services got involved as people had reported the kid being used. He stopped going to School not long after that. Goodness knows what happened to to the poor wee thing.

I mind the Roma used to break open the lids of the outdoor dispensers for donations outside the PDSA shop in Torry and put the kids in to take the stuff out.

First They Came for the Jews

and I did not speak out --

because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the communists

and I did not speak out --

because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists

and I did not speak out --

because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me --

and there was no one left

to speak out for me.


They also came for Homo***uals and Lesbians,
They came for the Roma people and other gypsys

Careful folks we don't let Fascism creep on to this board !!!! Not calling anyone fascist far from it but some of the comments are not nice and using the word Fascism may seem over the top but its how this ideology starts,

Tesco's sandwiches are pretty unimaginative bordering on bland.
