Nearly 50% of firms in Scotland were affected by criminality including theft, broken doors, smashed windows, graffiti, littering and intimidation.
Or, to put it another way, neds were responsible for a £740m boost to various sectors of Scottish industry, particularly the recession-hit building trade. Security firms also benefited. As did insurance companies including More Than which, as you know, is owned by American actor More Than Freeman.
