Friends and readers. It appears that our post-THE SUCKS VIEW- has hit a chord with many of our readers. Both our associates Helen and Anne have been inundated with comments with regards to street crime and it’s association with the demon drink.
This has been by far the most commented on post and goes to show how the average person feels about being feeling isolated when it comes to drink related crime on our streets.
With their consent we will print some of the comments below.
Tom from Trinity say’s IT’S ABOUT TIME WE TOOK ACTION AGAINST THE MINORITY WHO SPOIL IT FOR THE MAJORITY.
Mary Jane from Granton say’s. I’M FED UP AS I KNOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE WITH THE DO-GOOD ATTITUDE THAT SEEMS TO RULE THE ROOST.
Marion from Granton say’s. I’M NEW TO PILTON SUCKS BUT AT LAST SOMEONE IS TALKING SENSE THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND.
Lawrence from Granton say’s. I’M AFRAID TO WALK ALONE AT NIGHTS SO I DON’T GO OUT MUCH MYSELF. IF THE LAW PROTECTED THE ORDINARY CITIZEN AS MUCH AS IT SEEMS TO PROTECT THOSE THAT WOULD DO US HARM,THEN WE MIGHT ALL BE BETTER OFF. I TOO AM NEW TO PILTON SUCKS,CARRY ON THE GOOD WORK.
This is just a few of the replies we have received. Our communities have got to be safe places to live in and to that end Pilton Sucks promotes the idea that we cannot have no-go areas or any nonsense like that. There is undoubtably a mood to re-dress the balance where the criminal does not fear punishment but the innocent members of the public fear crime.
Greater Pilton has it’s fair share of social problems,some of which can be addressed with the proper input from those best qualified to deal with them. But what is clearly not acceptable is the do-nothing attiude because there is nothing we can do. Our society has been caught up in mind numbing political correctness added to the fear that if you speak your mind you will be a social outcast.
Pilton Sucks realises that many of our politicians who would like to take the neccessary action are paralysed by stupid hurdles put in their way as part of a stratagy of inaction. And of course there are other politicians who use that as an excuse,for doing sweet F.A.
Locally we must put an end to shops selling alchohol ,tobacco,and any other product which has an age barrier. To often a blind eye is turned and local shops who we know about are making a quick buck knowing they can get away with it.
We now ask the citizens of Greater Pilton and the Forth Ward in general to report to the police any abuse of the age barrier that they see. Alchohol must not be sold to under 18’s or anybody who is obviously had to much. Just look at the Muirhouse shopping centre and ask yourself who sells these poor souls the drink to further ruin what is left of their health? The answer is within the shopping centre itself,but it seems to go unchecked.
This practice can not be tolerated as much for the individuals who consume drink as the shops that sell it to them. Look after your community should be the watchword and don’t allow the minority to ruin it for the majority. Pilton Sucks will be watching closely and be sure we will report any shop abusing or breaking the law.
Watch out Pilton Sucks is about.
