WTF??? Who in their right mind would do this. The good people of the Sikh temple hand out free food to the homeless and poor in Leith each week.

What is just as concerning was the white supremacist/nationalist fella that was arrested in Leith/Meadowbank area a few weeks back. Police found 'viable' explosive devices and petrol bombs in his flat.

Things are really going to **** and will only get worse i fear.

I'd wager a decent wedge you are correct.

Mistake or otherwise it's moronic behaviour.

Hope their fire insurance is up to date this time, because they had forgotten to renew the last time it happened.

Unfortunately, some folk think that their hatred of ethnic minorities is justified because they hear and see our politicians and newspapers regularly ripping into migrants/asylum seekers/foreigners

That adds fuel to the fire because the hard of thinking are predisposed to blame others for their failings.

Possibly. The depths of some people's stupidity is staggering. Remember this........

It happened to Dr. Yvette Cloete, a specialist in Pediatric Medicine at Royal Gwent Hospital in London and the OP is correct in that the police's working theory is that the attack did come about due to the confusion of the term pediatrician and the term pedophile.

In August 2000, Dr. Cloete was forced to flee her home and seek police protection after her windows and doors were spray painted with "Paedo," a common English contraction of Paedophile.

Well it looks like I was wrong on this front. Just seems to be a prick with petrol.
