THE city wants to install hidden cameras to catch those drivers who are lured to Leith's ladies of the night. You seemed rather indifferent to the idea.
Surely all this will do is move the ladies to another pitchalex paterson, At the moment in Sevilla The more cameras catching legs like hers the better Give us a 7What happens if you just walk up to one! I've nae number plate, but I know a nice wee spot in Dalmeny Park. JamieJRWilson, Leith £200K for this farce is stupid. Give me £20K and I'll run the buggers out of town. Another totally misguided STUPID policy decision that has no purpose other than to monitor drivers. Rv2!,Wouldn't it be cheaper just to shoot them all with paintballs until they moved on? Also: put up signs in Polish saying "Don't do this".A Friend of Fernando Poo,, Newington We mustn't assume that every car crawling along in Leith is being driven by a man desperate to sate an unruly libido.
