Corruption at highest level with an untold story

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

As reported in The Herald yesterday, the judiciary, police and Crown Office Prosecution Service (COPS) colluded in an “unlawful” manner against individuals who were simultaneously subject of a campaign by prominent Rangers supporters over control of the club’s assets before and after liquidation.

Sheriff Lindsay Wood granted police 22 warrants in an investigation into the takeover of Rangers at a time when a high-profile campaign was underway against the same people to secure the assets of the club post-administration and liquidation by ‘real Rangers people’.  The Herald also reported that Wood was a prominent Rangers fan who attended games, social events and displayed a photo of Ibrox in his office.

Accusations of collusion by police against groups of individuals are common, but it is rare to find the judiciary and prosecution services involved.  It is rarer still that they go after white-collar professionals.  If this is what they will do for their team against accountants and lawyers, what would they do to you?

No less an authority than sheriff principle for Glasgow and Strathkelvin concluded Wood “submitted a misleading report”.  Senior investigating officer, Chief Inspector Jim Robertson, chanted a Rangers song during interviews.  A judge ruled that Robertson gave evidence that was “patently untrue” and acted in an “intimidatory”, “threatening” and reprehensible” manner.

Sheriff Wood accepted his failings and announced he would retire in May this year. So far, compensation payments to victims have reached £40m.  Remember, this is only what was published in The Herald yesterday.  Fair play to them, if ever you wonder why we need a strong traditional media, this is it.

Let’s be clear, however, there is a lot more that has not come out.  If you think Wood and Robertson were architects of this, you are wildly mistaken.  Only the Scottish Government have the ability to look deeper, but there are some clear lines to follow up.

When this was all happening, individuals working on this put themselves at significant personal risk and have since wisely gone to ground.  While I think that risk has passed, it is not my gamble to take.  But I know for sure if the Scottish Government took a hard look at the COPS, their prosecution decisions and their unprecedented leaking of information to the press – by official email (which I’ve seen), they would find out what we all know but some prefer to ignore.

    Ryanair is even smaller for a free bag. I had a perfect Fred Perry bag for short trips but it fell apart last year. My wife got me a cool replacement but it is about 3in too long but a good few inches inside width.

     

     

    Used it a few times and got away with it but i am prepared to take the charge if caught. Fortunately, a lot of my Celtic trips are day trips so no bag or if one night I can get away with my man bag and jacket pockets

    ‘Lessons from history, Lord Denning when denying an appeal for the Birmingham Six in 1980.’

    Not quite.

     

     

    It wasn’t said in an appeal by the Birmingham six.

     

     

    It was said in a defamation case brought by prison officers against World in Action about the treatment the Birmingham Six received while in prison.

    I wouldn’t hold out any hope of the Scottish Government looking too far under the bonnet. After all, they already have previous, because despite the collection of taxes in full and on time underpinning society, they wanted the old Rangers to be pardoned for what they had illegally taken. Also, does anyone seriously believe they would want it exposed that there is institutionalised bias within the Scottish Police and law services? After all, it doesn’t fit with their rather absurd notion that Scotland is a better nation than others simply because we are Scottish.

    You are correct in suggesting that it isn’t a party political issue.

     

     

    The rot, the malaise, that is at the root of all that has gone on, lies somewhere deep in Scottish society itself.

     

     

    It is no wonder then that those in the nationalist camp are not best placed to confront or deal with what is wrong.

    Big Jimmy.

     

    Re your mention of Mc Fadden & Whitehead singing ‘ Ain’t no stoppin’ us now’.

     

    Heard this song on the radio in the 80’s and being a Mc Fadden wondered if the singer was some long lost relation of ours in the good old US of A.

     

    Looked them up and soon realised that Gene Mc Fadden was a tad unlikely to be related to the fightin’ Mc Faddens of dear old Donegal! Lol

     

    Hope you are feeling tickety-boo Big Man.

     

    Hail! Hail!

    So when it comes to the huns, the judiciary are corrupt and bias toward them, the police are corrupt and bias toward them, but they expect us to believe that referees are as straight as a die and we are all paranoid, aye right, things to do, laters, great stuff Paul.

  22. Hrvatski Jim on

    Malicious prosecutions of professional people doing their duty under their legal appointments and – “No less an authority than sheriff principle for Glasgow and Strathkelvin concluded Wood “submitted a misleading report”. Senior investigating officer, Chief Inspector Jim Robertson, chanted a Rangers song during interviews. A judge ruled that Robertson gave evidence that was “patently untrue” and acted in an “intimidatory”, “threatening” and reprehensible” manner”, – are indelible stains on the Scottish legal system which will never be erased from its history.

     

     

    How can we in Scotland ever cite human rights abuses such as unlawful detention and political prosecutions against regimes in other countries again?

     

     

    Some poeple on here will recall that I raised the need for an independent public enquiry into the actions of the police and prosecution services with my MSP who, after several months of non-engagement, did eventually speak with me and voted in favour when such a motion was put to the Scottish Parliament which was only narrowly passed.

     

     

    This enquiry cannot be conducted by people from within the Scottish establishment.

     

     

    Within the United Nations of which Scotland/UK is a member, prosecutors should (amongst other duties):

     

     

    12. Prosecutors shall, in accordance with the law, perform their duties fairly, consistently and expeditiously, and respect and protect human dignity and uphold human rights, thus contributing to ensuring due process and the smooth functioning of the criminal justice system.

     

     

    13. In the performance of their duties, prosecutors shall:

     

     

    Carry out their functions impartially and avoid all political, social, religious, racial, cultural, sexual or any other kind of discrimination;

     

    Protect the public interest, act with objectivity, take proper account of the position of the suspect and the victim, and pay attention to all relevant circumstances, irrespective of whether they are to the advantage or disadvantage of the suspect;

     

     

    https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/guidelines-role-prosecutors

     

     

    Will any of the people mentioned in the malicious prosecution cases face any charges of lack of upholding their fiduciary duties in Scotland?
