Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.

A Senior police officer has blasted the man in charge of alcohol licensing in the Capital, accusing him of “failing” in his responsibility by denying the link between crime and the number of pubs, clubs and off-licences.
Councillor Eric Milligan, who has led the licensing board since 2012, was said to have “antiquated” views on alcohol consumption that were putting public health and safety at risk.

THe CAPITAL’S community safety leader today demanded an overhaul of alcohol sale rules and a ban on new pubs, clubs and off-licences in the city’s worst-affected areas.
Councillor Cammy Day – one of the most senior figures in the Capital Coalition – said stiff restrictions should now be placed on the granting of new licences in Leith, Leith Walk and Tollcross – three areas widely accepted to be swamped with bars.

I see the quote from the Police officer today has been changed from the quote yesterday: changing the meaning to suit the reporter's point? Was it too easy for readers to see yesterday that the officer had not directly criticised Cllr Milligan?

My Q to @jamie0pearce - is it possible supply follows demand? ie license applics come in areas w hi demand? A - "highly unlikely."

"Fountainbridge is already an officially designated area of over provision in terms of alcohol sales."
I didn't realise the arguments against over provision of alcohol had metamorphosed from anti-social behaviour and domestic violence to one of white supremacy. Clearly I'm behind the curve of local politics.
