GLASGOW’S council will ferry round its SNP ceremonial chief in a “show-stopping” Rolls-Royce luxury car — while slashing access to public services.
Announcing that it had been given by an anonymous donor today, Lord Provost Eva Bolander said the Rolls-Royce Ghost would help Scotland’s largest city “show its best face to the world.”
