Covid Scotland: Edinburgh community besieged by 'bampot' conspiracy campaign

Concerns have been raised by politicians in the Clermiston community after conspiracy theory anti-Covid vaccine stickers began appearing on street furniture.

Mark Brown, the local Conservative Councillor, branded those sharing the stickers as “bampots” while local MP, Christine Jardine, said that those responsible were endangering the community.

It is not known who is behind the sticker campaign in the Edinburgh suburb but several posters telling people not to take the vaccine and to stop obeying Covid protocols are visible on lampposts and bins throughout the area.
