JONATHAN BROCKLEBANK: I feel like a man out of time... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From my bedroom I used to hear my mother’s footsteps in the hall – a steady clip at first but, as the minutes passed, they grew brisker. Louder too. The clip became a clatter – a frantic percussive crescendo as her shoe heels bore her from room to room. It was the music of lateness. I did not enjoy a single bar of it. Her stress was radiating around the house. How much gentler the piece would have been, I often thought in my teens, if she had started getting ready 20 minutes earlier. My attitude
Gibson got on his high horse over Reform's stunt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in the year 2000, an irate Nationalist MSP made a highly performative exit from a Scottish parliamentary committee when things did not go his way. Gathering up his papers, he stormed out of the room in a huff, leaving his fellow politicians with just two words to ponder: ‘Where’s democracy?’ I don’t expect many will remember this incident or what the SNP’s then local government spokesman was on his high horse about. Not that it matters a jot, but it was something to do with the Scottish Exe

If he had been a man for interviews, Peter Shaw would have been celebrated 30 years ago as a classic working-class hero.

He had become a high-flier in public transport and, by 1996, was at the helm of Strathclyde Buses as bidders competed to add the employee-owned company to their portfolios. Over months of negotiations with several interested part
JONATHAN BROCKLEBANK: A 'Scooby-Doo' law on balaclavas? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I was growing up in the last century three groups of people wore balaclavas. Only one had legitimate reasons. These were expeditionaries crossing the Arctic tundra or scaling the planet’s highest peaks in blizzard conditions. We didn’t come across many on city centre high streets. Then there were the armed robbers. Balaclavas appealed to this demographic because they served two purposes which facilitated their crime. They scared the living daylights out of folk behind counters. And they con
Could evidence prove Scotland's most notorious killer was INNOCENT? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the dock at the High Court in Glasgow, Black Watch sergeant Michael Ross appeared to have accepted his fate. He was impassive as the jury delivered its guilty verdict on the charge of murder. He was the picture of stoic, military discipline as the judge, Lord Hardie, told him what would happen next – that he would be held in custody and sentenced at a later date. His deep breath as he stood to allow security officers to lead him away seemed to say it all: he knew the game was up. But that was
