Trump To Start Work Today

So it seems that Aberdeenshire Council have laughed in the face of all those opposing the Trump golf course at Menie. Despite facing legal action, and questions being asked in Europe, the council voted to let Trump start work on the course today.

The sand dunes at Menie, where Trump wants to build his "world-famous" resort, are a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. His plans will sanitise the area bringing with it an environmental apocalypse.

This is a beautiful animation from the Tripping Up Trump campaign:

But all Aberdeenshire Council can see is that someone is investing nearby. They see no benefit to them of having an outstandingly beautiful landscape. After all, how many people come to Scotland to see the scenery?

Trump is right about one thing, though. His new building site is about to become "world-famous". Perhaps not in the way he hoped.
