Brothels in Scotland, Glasgow and Edinburgh

Riding gravy trains and gas cookers - Sheriff Neilson style

Sheriff Hugh Neilson - former Sheriff at Hamilton

We really do try our best to overlook the personal indiscretions of Scotland's lawyers and judges and concentrate instead on their legal misconduct. However, the Neilson Scandal highlights grave judicial unaccountability that amounts to nothing short of corruption. The Scottish Taxpayer is getting sick and tired of gravy-train riders such as Neilson milking the system when caught behaving badly.

Brothels in Scotland

Neilson's world collapsed as the police raided the Glasgow brothel in which he was about to pay for kinky sex. Dressed only in a towel, the myopic sheriff bleated to cops about how he "only came in for a shave". A man of integrity would have resigned immediately, but Neilson chose instead to remain in his position - albeit suspended - collecting full pay and benefits, courtesy of the taxpayer, for a further 4 months.

Lords Gill and Cullen led the costly, protracted judicial investigation into Neilson's "fitness to practice". As this lengthy investigation drew to a close, Neilson suddenly resigned. The findings were conveniently binned and the Law Lords also conveniently failed to comment on Neilson milking the cash cow for a whole FOUR MONTHS; an astonishing omission given the expense of this avoidable judicial investigation (paid for by the taxpayer).

Hugh Neilson has never been asked to repay this money.

Harper Macleod Solicitors

Gis-a-Job - Harper Macleod Solicitors

Harper Macleod welcomed Neilson with open arms and chequebook into their Litigation Department. It goes without saying the partners in this firm are aware Neilson ripped off the taxpayer. But do they care? It would appear not and such lawyer indifference is just typical of a legal profession which thinks one thing privately but dare not speak out publicly.

2008 update (mainly for the benefit of search engine bots): Neilson still works for Harper Macleod solicitors and his office is in the heart of Glasgow's red light district, conveniently located near many of the best massage parlours, prostitiutes, hookers, escort agencies, escorts and brothels that Scotland has to offer. No doubt Edinburgh Sheriffs and Judges will claim that Edinburgh Brothels, Edinburgh massage parlours and Edinburgh hookers are the best, but there can be no doubt that Scottish Sheriffs and Judges use hookers because they've absolutely no chance of getting their ho....errr that's enough filth for the search engines.

Questions for Hugh Neilson:

1. Have you ever sentenced a Glasgow prostitute or even an Edinburgh prostitute?

2. Surely the honest, honourable thing to have done would have been to resign immediately, thereby saving the taxpayer a small fortune on wages, benefits and a futile judicial investigation?

This futile judicial investigation was cancelled - and cost the taxpayer a bloody fortune. Meanwhile cancer victims like Mike Gray can't get NHS drugs that are deemed too expensive.
