“100 years before I saw the light of morn, In Edinburgh’s Cowgate James Connolly was born. The streets of Little Ireland were his home for many years, From the West Port to St Mary’s Street, you feel him very near.” Hoodies: @pieute Tours: @EdinburghDetour Integrity: Priceless

@JimSlaven Little Ireland is full of interesting and important history and you're a terrific guide to that history. Everyone who visits Edinburgh should take the tour!

If this project was about the history of any other immigrant group in Edinburgh the political class & usual suspects would be all over it. Their hypocrisy exposes Scotland’s Shame. But it’s ok. I run on my own energy✌️ theirishvoice.com/post/take-a-de…

HH gave 1000 new bikes to kids in housing schemes in #Edinburgh and hundreds or refurbished bikes. Plus safety & bike maintenance courses, safety equipment & one insurance cover. Without 1p of state or corporate funding. Without any salaries. Without m/class missionaries.
Ross Greer@Ross_Greer

The bikes weren't actually £700 each though. That figure includes safety equipment, training, the cost of running a scheme to reach the kids who really need and deserve a bike etc etc. I've seen inside Government, it can be more efficient. This is just Labour being miserable.

The greatest city in the world, and they think it’s theirs and only theirs. Time for change. Time to organise and call it out. 👊🏼
