EH11_2NL Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 3 hours ago, JudyJudyJudy said: And remember many in fact most of those “ scum” have came from very difficult backgrounds , poverty , etc . Their chances in life were limited from the day they were born. So what options have they have in life? Sorry but that is a steaming pile of pish. In the 70s I lived in Easter Drylaw Place, Muirhouse Way, Clovenstone Drive, Clermiston and then Knightsridge in Livingston. I managed not to steal, deal drugs, kill people, vandalise anything or cause others harm. These are lifestyle choices and the Webley brothers have been a scourge on North Edinburgh for years.

I am one of those said people………don’t want for anything now really, but not lucky, just grafted.

At 15 I’d never have thought I’d return to education and be a full time student at 40 studying for a degree in business management……..so, there is opportunity out there but, it’s not going to find you though.

Churning out the “I only turned to crime because there was nothing else for me” is just a bullshit excuse. You made the choice to turn to crime.
