Go home Donald and take your borrowed money and brash American vulgarity with you…

The last thing Scotland needs is another so called ‘upscale’ golf course.  The Aberdeen Councillors are a herd of cowards bullied into agreeing this ridiculous proposal by Trump.  Threatened by silly accusations that Aberdeen is closed for business if they declined the application and dazzled by the ‘glamour’ of such a high profile spiv’s spurious attentions they have completely failed in their duty to protect the public good.  Trump and his team would be well advised to pack up and go home before they create another white elephant. Let’s hear Tilda Swinton makes much more noise!

Wild life before idle life. The Trumps and the other golfers can now enjoy the hundreds of existing excellent golf courses and resorts in the UK. The same cannot be said for the wild life and the few recovering lowland natural areas left in Scotland. This is true for the rest of the UK and for Europe in general. Natural areas, sea shore, riverine, moor, forest, fen and the wildlife that lives there is the Earth’s fully ‘developed’ landscape. It is complete from mountain to ocean and is typically filled full of living creatures. Human golfers have taken enough land for their single use daytime sport.
