There were a few things I intended to do this evening, instead I became engrossed in the documentary ‘You’ve Been Trumped’. The film makers followed the story of the Donald Trump golf course project in Aberdeenshire , it documented his harassment of local residents, disregard for land boundaries, and what can only be described as environmental vandalism of the ( supposedly) protected sand dunes. I feel as if I’ve seen the face of evil in action; this man gives me the creeps.
The sand dune environment was a SSPI which means, designated site of Special Scientific Interest, one academic environmentalist described it as a completely unique site and Scotland’s equivalent of the Rain Forest. Scotlands Government and Aberdeenshires local council backed Trump for reasons I fail to understand and Grampian police, although claiming to be neutral, appeared anything but………the whole thing makes me sick. If there is any one in the UK who hasn’t seen it, then you really should, and if you are outside the UK, please see it when ever you get the opportunity.
On the plus side………..a post note on the film said he has threatened to pull out of building the Disney style Hotel because the Scottish Government refuse to stop a planned off shore wind farm. I suppose we should be grateful for small mercies although, the sand dunes them selves are already gone. This guy will give me nightmares.
