Craigmillar Incubator: Gettin Jiggy wiv it!

By The Basa ⋅ March 24, 2007 ⋅

More sad news on how public money is being spent. The Craigmillar Business Incubator project which has it’s site at http://www.craigmillarincubator.co.uk/ has a seemingly novel way of supplementing it’s public funds. It has gone into porn advertising.

The site which is linked from the parent site, the again publicly funded Cre8te in Craigmillar and the publicly funded Craigmillar District Business Association is full of advertising and gives the user the option of getting down and dirty with the ‘adult’ sites.

The project which is seemingly run by the publicly funded Cre8te which lists itself as:

CRE8TE is the trading name of Craigmillar Opportunities Trust The company is both a property holding and management company, and also administers the Social Inclusion Partnership funds and the European Regional Development Funds for the Craigmillar Business Incubator. The company has charitable objectives which are: -1 Independent

No mention there of porn advertising. What’s really on their computer screens?

No mention there of porn advertising. What’s really on their computer screens?A whois for the domain shows that it is owned by a company called Craigmillar Development and Enterprise Limited (Company number: SC210366) - http://webwhois.nic.uk/cgi-bin/whois.cgi?query=craigmillarincubator.co.uk

So in Craigmillar when you are not being screwed by the Nolan cabal you can visit Craigmillar Incubator to see who else will screw you - at a cost of course……

Of course it is not surprise to find a couple of the city’s dodgy councillors sitting on the board, namely Jack “Daniels” O’Donnell and Billy “Nowt tae dae wi me” Fitzpatrick.
