[BITList] Donald Trump's £1bn Scottish golf course project faces mass protest | UK news | guardian.co.uk

[HUGH]

Mike,

Trump is a buffoon.  His original plans were for a gated village, with 
possibly a gun-toting chap on the gate,  He had to be reminded it was 
Scotland, where gated villages are illegal. More than one over-rich dick 
head insisting they say they own 10 godzillion acres here and no sonaofbitch 
is gonna walk over it, has been told by a court that they are talking shite 
so get the chains off the gates pronto. What favours he distributed 
thereafter I cannot say, but sundry local politicians in Aberdeen became 
fans.  The chairman of the committee which threw out Trump's proposals on 
his casting vote became a pariah, had to resign, and all of a sudden it 
became a matter for the Scottish Govt and Trump was back on line again. 
Compulsory purchase of homes, etc, in the way of his plans is actually 
proposed by the local authority, but so far all that has been talk.

A pox on him.

Hugh.
