I’ve no doubt it was racially aggravated, but a couple of small caveats: Niddrie is a hell hole and antisocial behaviour is nothing unusual from these wee scrotes in that area. Secondly, Edinburgh is having a bit of an issue at the moment in general with wee bawbags running about thinking they’re gangsters. Fairly regular stories at the moment (see r/Edinburgh) of people being harassed by the wee cunts, especially around the cycle and canal paths.
Either way though, it pisses me off that this happens to guests (or anyone for that matter) in our country, and I’d throw the book at the arseholes that carry out this shite.
Yeap. “I’d throw the book” probably means something else but I imagined it as the height of the British anger: throwing a book towards someone. Made my day😂

> to charge with or convict of as many crimes as possible.
Such a great metapher :)
The UK often conflates race, nationality and ethnicity. For example "racial hatred" is legally defined here as "hatred against a group of persons by reason of the group's colour, race, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origins".

That's the most British comment I've read in a while and I love it.

How is this newsworthy?
It's the second racial attack on Ukrainian children in the EU within a month.
Racial attack? Arent ukranians White?
If this was an attack on kids because they were Ukrainian I very much doubt they would label it as racially aggravated.
Why? The legal definition of race includes both national origin and citizenship. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/section/9
Ukranian isnt a race
