Im Buying
One of our associates happened to be in the Muirhouse area last week and made the mistake of walking through the covered area which leads to the Muirhouse Arts Centre and the library. She was horrified to be shouted at by some of the tennants of the centre,you know the ones who hang about the place on a regular basis getting pissed on cheap booze sold to them by the asian shop which is within the centre.
How do these people get away with it. Alcoholism is an illness and these shopkeepers are profiteering on the back of people who do not know any better. It seems incredible in this day and age that real help is seemingly unavailable to help these poor wretches stay away from the demon drink. What does aunty Lesley think, or does she care,probably not as long as it is not outside her front door.
And what about joe average who just wants to pass through or use one of the shops for something other than cheap booze. We have a duty of care to all our citizens but this pocket of resistance seems to be neglected. You cannot throw money at the problem and hope it goes away,it wont. What is the law doing to prevent unscrupulas shop keepers from cashing in on sickness,these are the same shops who sell cigarettes to under age children,have sold fireworks to children and seem to be above the law. Are the powers that be afraid to do anything in case they are called racist. Thats just absolute crap. these asian shop owners are not above the law,if they break it,and break it they do.
We watched the shop on Monday afternoon and schoolchildren were going in to buy fags and being sold them. This cannot be tolerated our children must be protected even if is from themselves.
So the powers that be should get up off their lazy politically correct backsides and sort this out,it has been going on for far to long. The public need protected from these crooks regardless of their ethnic origin.Â
