It was my first ‘encounter’ with Jordan Linden – or at least his very unsavoury associates. Around ten minutes later my photographer pointed to a hooded young man coming from across the other end of the estate. Linden was convicted of a catalogue of sexual offences against young men and boysI was to find out over the next three years that this would be a familiar theme. A friend had mentioned an incident to me in Dundee involving North Lanarkshire Council’s new SNP leader and a young SNP activist, several years earlier. Linden later used this sham probe to claim he had been ‘cleared’ of any wrongdoing.
