Mamma Mia!


The latest development in the long running saga of Rangers Football Club is that the club's  chief executive and largest shareholder - Charles Green - has stood down with immediate effect.

Now I don't know what this surprise decision will have on the independent investigation that is underway into the financial dealings which led Rangers into bankruptcy - and back out again - as a new company was formed (Rangers Mark II) by Charles Green and other backers.

Presumably none - since all the questions that Rangers fans and others want to have answered are still perfectly relevant - whether Charles Green is chief executive, the largest shareholder and/or still a member of the Rangers board.

Yet in all the words I've read about the affair the one thing that jumps out to me is the claim from the former Rangers owner - Craig Whyte - that he paid £137,500 to facilitate the new Rangers business deal, but into the bank account of Imran Ahmad's mother - Imran Ahmad being one of Charles Green's key allies at the financially stricken club.

So my question is this - Why in the world would anyone pay a large sum of money into someone else's Mum's bank account? - always assuming the claim is true, of course.

I can't imagine any proper reason for someone involving their Mum in important business affairs - and I can hardly wait to hear what the explanation is for Mr Ahmad's Mum waking up one morning to discover that £137,500 had been paid into her bank.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
