Secret group owns up to Leith graffiti
A SECRETIVE organisation has claimed responsibility for unusual graffiti which has cropped up in and around Leith recently.
Community leaders and residents had expressed concern at the scale of political slogans which were being plastered across white walls, businesses and billboards in the area.
Slogans such as "made in China" and "Americans out" have appeared in large lettering on Leith Walk and Easter Road, while businesses such as Tesco and Scottish Gas seem to be the target of other motifs and remarks.
Now a group calling itself the Safe Word Collective has claimed responsibility for the graffiti in an e-mail to the Evening News.
The e-mail stated: "Have you noticed how many items we buy these days that are made in China? The USA have bombed approximate 50 countries over as many years leaving none with a stable democracy.
"Excuse us for thinking, reflecting and challenging."
