Booby-trapped Trans tape on Edinburgh lampposts injures council worker during removal

For a couple of years a TRA has been placing pink/blue/white tape on lampposts in Morningside in Edinburgh. Also stickers and other graffiti.
It seems theTRA has got fed up of the council removing their pink/blue/white tape from the lampposts and decided to booby trap them. They have put some substance on the tape, presumably to deter their removal. However, this has led to the hospitalisation a council worker who was removing the tape (and a major response from the emergency services sealing off a major road).
They then appeared a few hours later and put more tape (and substance) on!
This had half of Edinburgh gridlocked last night

Anyone who travels through this area will have seen over the last few years that a TRA has been putting tape, stickers and trans related graffiti in a very specific area.
The media though are being very coy about it.

Near Beira's place by any chance?

Edit: this is just a genuine guess btw, I'm not from Edinburgh but it's my assumption since the TRAs are always spitting mad about single sex services for women, especially if funded by a certain famous author.

@MorningsideMaze How do you know it is a TRA and trans-related? Genuine questions.

Who else remembers the ongoing accusations a few years back that women’s rights campaigners were putting razor blades behind stickers?

What’s the saying again? Every accusation an admission!

The pink, blue and white stickers/tape kinda gives it away. But you would have to search the photos very closely to see them. You would almost think the photos have been censored.

My friend was caught up in this incident but the media have been very coy about reporting it. I cannot understand (actually, I can, SNP! Enough said) why there has not been huge publicity and warnings if chemical poisons are spread around a very busy suburb of Edinburgh.

Terrorism (n): the use of violence or the threat of violence against civilians, in order to further a political or military objective.

Will it be properly investigated?

Will it be reported elsewhere?
