Edinburgh has overtaken London in GDP per capita, and London has overtaken Edinburgh in money laundering and increasing rates of child poverty. #inequalty #billionnaires #moneylaundering #epsteinclass

Each jurisdiction has its role and piece of the pie.

London is where the babysitters meet the oligarchs to set up the Scottish entities through which to launder the funds.

Great new book by the world's authority on oligarchy and money laundering, for those interested:

@mmm both the Scottish government and the legal profession have tried to push Westminster to amend the legislation to close the loophole but so far without success. It is an embarrassment as it damages Scotland’s hard-earned reputation for financial probity.

I feel ya, brother. But still would be great if Holyrood and gov would move on:

- RCI: force SLP BO disclosure for land
- ban SLPs from public contracts
- Police Scotland SLP taskforce
- AML audits of Scots firms
- Scottish SLP risk list + bank alerts
