Vandals targeted a local business on Edinburgh’s busy Grassmarket after staff allegedly gathered refuse and litter into bin bags at some point before the bin strike had ended.
On Tuesday morning, Biddy Mulligan’s Irish pub was seen with bright red spray paint across the two front windows. On the right, the word ‘scabs’ was written. On the left, the hammer and sickle symbol was painted.
The hammer and sickle are symbols of working class solidarity. They are also the emblems of the former Soviet Union and have international communist connotations.
