Copied travel review from the Icke forum;

https://forum.davidicke.com/index.php?/topic/19405-edinburgh-illuminatiskull-bones-city/



Imagine a small town at overcapacity with a small army of 10,000 Ghislaine Maxwell's all running around central Edinburgh being horrible to everyone, and you have an idea of how bad & repulsive the experience of the Edinburgh Colonial August Festivals have become.

The Edinburgh Colonial august Festivals are one of the best adverts for the bulldozing & eradication of every single boarding school in Britain & mainland Europe. The sheer nastiness & anti-social behaviour of the boarding school set that stinks out Edinburgh during august is borderline demonic. for whatever reason these freaks cannot function in a everyday environment. the way they barge into people, and push children out of the way is shocking. Please under no circumstance take your child to Edinburgh in August. Their safety cannot be guaranteed.

Overpriced: Overcharging is seriously blatant in Edinburgh during august. Some shops were charging close to £9 for a packet of Cheetos on Princes Street. the sheer greed of traders in Edinburgh is shocking & Edinburgh council seriously needs to deal with them.

Atmosphere: Stressed, overcrowded, repulsive, satanic feel to the city. Its like something horrific has landed in Edinburgh. There is a real nastiness in the air during August. the demographic that occupies Edinburgh during august are horrible people. Imagine 10,000 Ghislaine Maxwell's in Edinburgh and you get an idea of the repulsive nature of the city during the festival.

Overcrowded: There is far too many people in Edinburgh during August. The amount of people being shoved on the roads by clusters of tourist is shocking. Central Edinburgh during August is an ordeal. Not a pleasure. there needs to be a serious limit on the amount of people (& shows) come into the city.

Where are the locals?!: another aspect to the colonial nature of the Edinburgh festivals is the lack of any locals n the city. You will struggle to hear a local Edinburgh voice. You will struggle to hear a human voice. The locals have long learnt to avoid the grotesques & repulsive's that invade Edinburgh during August (for that is what it is; an invasion). Why are the EIF & Fringe not held during the Scottish school holidays?! The festivals are quite happy to cater to the freakish & psychologically damaged boarding school kids from London & Vienna, but what about Scottish kids?!

The obscene level of British state personnel in plain clothes ; another aspect of the "occupation" during august is the obscene level of British state personnel in central Edinburgh. At times it feels like a demilitarized occupation zone. It is an incredibly intimidating and freakish atmosphere due to their practices. This is due in no small part to the out of date Edinburgh Tattoo. The Tattoo acts like a magnet that attracts a freakish demographic that you dont want to be near. This is one of Edinburgh's dirty secrets. The Tattoo's position at Edinburgh's Festivals should have been dealt with in the aftermath of the Iraq War. That whole side of it is one of Edinburgh's many many shames.

Over-reliance of "comedy". There are just far too many events & shows at the Fringe. The Fringe is a liability to the city. The amount of Fringe events in the city contribute to the insane overcrowding. The Fringe festival need cut by about 50% & reduced to a 2 week format. It is seriously excessive, and again reflects badly on Edinburghers as to why they have never dealt with this.

Summary.

The Edinburgh Colonial August Festivals are a stressful & overcrowded human-shit-magnet occupied by a demographic of grotesques & repulsives that you wouldnt let your children anywhere near. The overcrowding during August is a serious security & safety liability. It is due to this that i cannot recommend that either you , your friends or your children should go. It is a punitive, repressive, disturbing, freakish, repulsive, satanic atmosphere that hangs over Edinburgh during August.

Save your money. Stay away. And keep safe.
