The owners of a “queer Yiddish anti-capitalist anarchist café” have cited “unchecked antisemitism in Scotland” as a reason for its closure this week.
The Pink Peacock cafe, which opened three years ago, had operated on a “pay-as-you-can” basis, which invited customers to pay a price for the goods that they consumed if they were able, but which also allowed them to eat for free.
Confirming the closure on Wednesday co-owners Morgan Holleb and Joe Isaac alleged that they had suffered from “harassment” from “self-described leftists” including members of the far-left Socialist Workers Party.
