Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Not sure if he's talking about the same incident (I assume he is), but a guy I went to school with just posted this on Facebook: "I would have loved to have seen the smug smile wiped off those bizzies faces when their car got blown up...obviously some police are just doing their job like every other normal person but too many of them use that badge and daft hat as an excuse to speak to people however they feel like and take the Piss...bullied at school, b******s with badges!"

Locky Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Unfortunately this is the real Edinburgh away from the nice castle and clever students in the middle of town. This was exactly my sentiment when the video surfaced of the brawl on the High Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds life a student or a shelf stacker in Morrison's I'm a student and that's not a viewpoint I agree with . I believe he works in a call centre of some sort.

Bluesy1874 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Same street as me mate, think its going to get as bad as the old days when there was fighting between saughton and broomhouse?

topcat Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Unfortunately this is the real Edinburgh away from the nice castle and clever students in the middle of town.

topcat Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 South East Niddrie is the 575th most deprived neighbourhood out of 575 in Edinburgh according to the SIMD It's about as atypical of "real Edinburgh" as is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboelite Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 What does that mean? That s.e Niddrie is the best off neighbourhood in Edinburgh? No it means that Niddrie is the worst regarded area of Edinburgh and doesnt represent the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullen13 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 No it means that Niddrie is the worst regarded area of Edinburgh and doesnt represent the norm. It's nowhere near as bad as it used to be. Most of the wee thieving jakes have gone and there are nicer houses. Still plenty junkies though. The burning cars are the norm around here tbf!

fabienleclerq Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 No it means that Niddrie is the worst regarded area of Edinburgh and doesnt represent the norm. Surely if its 575th most deprived then there's 574 more deprived? Either way Niddrie doesn't represent the norm in Edinburgh, part of me thinks that places like Niddrie get neglected and the council etc turn a blind eye.Then the other thinks regardless what they do there will always be part of the city where certain people create a bad environment.

Tams bird Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I think the boy who got arrested for setting the cars on fire was 14. Great life ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, he was hardly going to get a phd anyway. Niddrie bairns have no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
