So Daniel Johnson MSP is concerned about the impact of parking charges on local businesses in Morningside. Clearly just forgot to mention that he owns 50% of the shares in Over the Counter Ltd - better known as Studio One and Paper Tiger. Easy to do - he was only the managing director up until 2016.
@Morningsider
He told me in 2017 that he had sold his interest in the family business so I am....mmm.
Still listed on his parliamentary profile, anyway: http://www.parliament.scot/msps/currentmsps/98553.aspx
Still listed as a director here: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/SC338463/officers
IWRATS - not according to the accounts lodged with Companies House on 26 April 2018. A total of 1000 shares, of which Daniel Johnson owns 500:

To be fair accurate, the family business looks to be ASPIDISTRA PROPERTY LIMITED, from which he has apparently resigned: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/SC392885/officers
Aspidistra Property Ltd is an interesting business. The company has been dormant since 2013, despite holding "reserves" valued at nearly £8 million in 2017, and somehow making a profit of £680,000 in the same year. I was a bit mystified as to how a "dormant" company could make such a profit without trading. A quick Googol brought up this:

Why have a dormant company?
3. To hold a fixed asset such as a property
Dormant companies are often used to hold a particular types of asset.
The main example is a freehold property or the head lease to a property, with the dormant company option used by companies who deal with flat management. For such flat management companies, a separate Residents’ Association Company will usually handle management income, expenses and legal issues, meaning that the flat management company itself should meet the conditions required of a dormant company.
An investment holding company may be set up as a dormant company on the same basis and for much the same reason, to protect certain assets or intellectual property.
