From the Guardian - Some 150,000 people are expected to march through Edinburgh tomorrow, according to the march organisers from the Make Poverty History campaign. Many protesters will camp in a specially created site in the Niddrie district of the city.
Blimey Niddrie - its definitely not Morningside
A somewhat bleak public housing estate in SE Edinburgh. Linked to the equally bleak Craigmillar in the W and running to the shopping plaza at Newcraighall, previously the site of a colliery complex and brick-works, Niddrie was built to provide homes for families cleared from the slums in the eastern part Edinburgh's Old Town. Located on the estate of the 17th Century Niddrie Marischal House, of which little remains, the estate was built in three phases. The first (1934) and second (1957) consist of three-storey blocks of flats, with the third (1960s) made up of smaller blocks and towers blocks at Greendykes to the south.
The protesters will see at first hand the socialist utopia they would like to inflict on the Africans
Why does'nt Bono hand over all the royalties from his U2 albums to aid agencies?
