It's difficult to make sense out of the various twists our saga took from the point when HMRC started their witchunt. From that point of view I don't see how the club or creditors will ever be able to get redress. Whyte's asset stripping and genuine tax evasion muddies the waters too much in terms of being able to prove the effect of the EBT bill.
However, that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a full investigation into what happened within HMRC in the form of a public enquiry. If that enquiry uncovers any proof of wrong-doing (as opposed to mistakes) then those responsible must be prosecuted.
If there was political influence that too must be in the scope of the enquiry. Any sign of a conspiracy must be investigated fully and transparently.
It isn't my intention to pick political sides here in terms of which parties favour (or hates us most). I'm going to wipe the slate clean and look at this without historical bias.
In the forthcoming election I for one am going to look for any candidate wanting my vote to pledge to call or support calls for such an enquiry. However you intend to vote, ask your preferred candidate to make a similar pledge. If he or she won't commit - ask yourself what they've got to hide and vote the fuckers out.
My vote won't make a difference but if the 25% plus of the population in Scotland who identify as Rangers fans do this collectively we can bring serious pressure to bear.
If one party was to cover this in their manifesto we could deliver an electoral landslide in Scotland for any party willing to commit to this.
As an aside if no enquiry is forthcoming, I think we need to look at standing candidates under our own banner at the next Scottish election on a platform of anti-corruption and transparency. With PR, anything is possible, and I'd love to see the Rangers support deliver the ultimate reply to what a government organ and it's monkeys may have done to us by taking over the whole fucking country. How are you liking them sporting integrity apples you chunts?
