Charity appeals ruling in bid to keep homeless shelter open
Homeless Project Scotland said the complaints depend on claims there has been a 'deterioration in local amenity and an alleged rise in anti-social behaviour'. In its appeal, the charity said there is no evidence to back up the claims linking the shelter to the harms cited. READ NEXT:'Frightened' homeless Glasgow teenager put in hostel dorm 'full of men' The Shelter has been operating in Glassford Street since December 2023 with a free food service in the evenings. Local residents and nearby businesses have said the shelter has led to more anti-social behaviour and said the queues outside before it opens are detrimental to the character of the area. The charity in its submission states: 'Allegations of disorder, intimidation, and criminality are generalised in tone and speculative in content, often lacking dates, photographs, or incident reports.' It also said it is significant that the police have not objected to the shelter. The charity states it believes it has been refused permission on 'the basis of perception, prejudice, and an unevidenced fear of crime'. READ NEXT:Mother and new baby turned up at homeless shelter needing help It states: 'This omission carries substantial evidential and legal weight. In planning terms, the views of police are often determinative when objections relate to crime, public safety, or anti-social behaviour. It adds that a named police officer confirmed there is no causal link between the shelter and crime trends in the area. The ongoing wrangle has developed since the charity moved into the premises and operated without planning permission. The council issued orders to close with a deadline to comply but the charity, in the meantime, applied for permission which was subsequently refused. Homeless Project Scotland has now exercised its right to appeal the decision allowing it to continue operation until the process is exhausted. The basis of its appeal is that the shelter is an essential part of the solution, not the cause of a persistent problem in Glasgow city centre. The appeal states: 'These are long-standing urban challenges, rooted in structural factors such as economic deprivation, housing undersupply, public health inequalities, and mental illness. 'The shelter is not a source of the problem; it is an emergency intervention designed to alleviate its most dangerous manifestations.' The organisation said that without the shelter, many people would be out on the streets overnight. It said: 'The benefits of the night shelter are not speculative, they are verifiable and substantial.' It added: 'The shelter's operation is consistent with the Ending Homelessness Together Action Plan, supports Glasgow City Council's statutory duties under the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987.' A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council, said: 'An appeal has been received in respect of this application and it will be considered by the Planning Local Review Committee in due course. 'It would be inappropriate to comment further while this appeal is in place.'

The dark side of cryptocurrency
Andrew Bailey is right to distance the British financial system from cryptocurrency, but he is being too polite about it (Editorial, 29 July). Cryptocurrency is evil. Being speculative in nature, it serves no purpose as a useful currency, and being secretive, it facilitates international drug dealing, people trafficking and terrorism. In addition to helping destabilise our precarious world, it has a huge, unnecessary carbon footprint.

Implosion of Titanic sub which killed Scots uni student was 'preventable'
The implosion of a submersible, which killed a Strathclyde University student, was preventable, according to a Coastguard report. Suleman Dawood, 19, had just completed his first year at the Glasgow-based university's business school when he boarded the Titan vessel with his dad Shahzada Dawood. The vessel lost communication with tour operators in June 2023 around 435 miles south of St John's, Newfoundland, during a voyage to the Titanic shipwreck off the coast of Canada. Five people were on board at the time, including British billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding and OceanGate founder Stockton Rush. The US Coast Guard investigation concluded that the negligence exhibited by Rush 'contributed to the deaths of four individuals,' and the chief executive may have been accused of 'misconduct or neglect of ship officers' had he survived the incident. Blue Origin Billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding was also on board. The offence carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison in the US. The report said OceanGate had a 'toxic workplace environment' and used the 'looming threat of being fired' to prevent staff from coming forward with safety concerns. It added that analysis revealed a 'disturbing pattern of misrepresentation and reckless disregard for safety'. The tour operators' design and testing processes were criticised in the 300-page report. Oceangate's continued use of the Titan submersible despite 'a series of incidents that compromised the integrity of the hull and other critical components' was also slammed. he tour operator's former director of engineering was reported by the US Coast Guard to have said the first hull used on the Titan submersible was akin to a 'high school project'. According to the report, a contractor hired by OceanGate in 2022 voiced 'numerous safety concerns' to a company director, before being told: 'You have a bad attitude, you don't have an explorer mindset, you know, we're innovative and we're cowboys, and a lot of people can't handle that.' The report read: 'For several years preceding the incident, OceanGate leveraged intimidation tactics, allowances for scientific operations, and the company's favourable reputation to evade regulatory scrutiny. 'By strategically creating and exploiting regulatory confusion and oversight challenges, OceanGate was ultimately able to operate Titan completely outside of the established deep-sea protocols, which had historically contributed to a strong safety record for commercial submersibles. OceanGate Expeditions The Titan submersible imploded during the expedition. 'The lack of both third-party oversight and experienced OceanGate employees on staff during their 2023 Titan operations allowed OceanGate's chief executive officer to completely ignore vital inspections, data analyses, and preventative maintenance procedures, culminating in a catastrophic event.' Addressing potential criminality, the report said: 'Had OceanGate's CEO and chief pilot survived the incident, the MBI (Marine Board of Investigation) would have recommended that the commandant refer the matter to DoJ (Department of Justice) for their consideration on whether to pursue a separate criminal investigation. 'The MBI concluded that Mr Rush, in his dual role as CEO and as the acting master or pilot of the Titan submersible, exhibited negligence that contributed to the deaths of four individuals. 'As both a corporate executive responsible for the vessel's operation and its master during the casualty, Mr Rush may have been subject to criminal liability under the standards set forth in 18 USC § 1115 (misconduct or neglect of ship officers).'
