Trump Golf Course, Aberdeen.

Full of Bluster?? Did I say he was a philanthropist?
What businessman does not want to make a profit!
Methinks there is jealousy creepin' in here. Chips on shoulder routine!
I don't know where you are from, but there are as many in the North who would rip your heart out for a pound!

So.

You do a runner from Scotland and then blast on about how we should be running our affairs. Your ignorant and flippant comments regarding the amount of land involved show just how out of touch you really are with your perceived 'homeland'.

'Rip my heart out'? I'll happily take bets on that one. If you can threaten, then I can insult:

Go poke, you pathetic idiot.
You left the country you are so concerned about, so don't tell the people who choose to live here how they should live their lives.
You lost the credible right to do that the minute you got outside UK airspace.


'Chip on the shoulder'?
Ridiculous, I put money into this Far North community through my business. It's not a lot, but I'll be effed if some plastic Canook numpty is going to get one over one me.

Why don't you come back here, put your money where your mouth is and try to make adifference instead of sitting in Canada passing judgement on those of us who are trying to make a positive difference to the Far North?

You're nothing more than a plastic Jock. You'll play the 'homeland' card when it suits you andd then turn your back when it gets too difficult.



I reckon you're a Trump.

[sandyr1]

Wow...Got the Bluster goin'.
Well done!

Methinks I shall add a wee piece to my comment.......Sma' Mind!

[Moira]

Fantastic idea Sandyr1.

Get in touch with Trump and ask him to convey his ideas to the Reay Golf Course Committee. The empty Dome would make an excellent Clubhousel

I just re-read your 'diatribe', and now that I know who you are, I would not have expected less.
Constructive criticism is quite normal/Personal insults are usually from people with small minds, who think they are important.......
FYI...I do own 'property' in the North, and have 'contributed' to the econony in approx. 28 takes offs and landings to Scotland in the past few years, but my genuine thougths for the area was to compensate for the loss of many jobs at Dounreay, perhaps sooner than expected. And this is enhanced today when another 'true accounting' of the state of the UK economy was released.
Sometimes one has to look outside 'The Box' you in particular live in.
So there is an olde saying...Fowk who live in gless hoosies, shidna be throwan them stanes!

I wonder is there a word in Gaelic for the Trump hairstyle?

On the subject of Plastic Canooks:
There is no such thing as a plastic canook. But I might be able to get my hands on a plastic mountie. $50.00 (Canadian) and it could be yours!
Cash only, please. I know what it's like trying to do business with northerners...

Sandy - This is latest I have from Tripping Up Trump


Thanks to you public opposition to Trump has never been higher.


Last time public opinion was measured with an official poll it was 74% against Trump's actions.


Not the '93% in favour' as Trump frequently likes to quote, but when quizzed on national television he can't find the reference.


In fact, a recent poll of 20,000 Scottish people on St. Andrew's Day showed the protecting local families from Trump is the second most important campaign in Scotland. Only bankers are as unpopular.


So, public opinion is on our side, but the national and local government are still not listening or acting.


And now the legal system appears set to fail 86 year old Molly Forbes who was refused legal aid to protect her own home.


Now Trump is set upon financially destroying Molly in pursuit of his legal expenses, which could be as much as £75,000.


In Scotland it seems a pensioner isn't allowed to protect her home from a foreign multi-billionaire.


ACTION - Molly's case returns to the court room on January 11th. So if you've a spare Christmas card, please post it to Molly and the families of Menie. Remind them that they are never alone in this battle against Trump and that we'll stand with them until we win. Molly will welcome the support.


Please post your card to :


Molly Forbes
Paradise
Menie
Balmedie
Aberdeenshire
AB23 8YE


Trump's claim of hundreds of local jobs has already turned into a local joke.


To top it all, Trump is now intent on wrecking one of Aberdeenshire's great economic hopes for the future: clean energy.


Trump's already played an influencing role in derailing a massive offshore clean energy windfarm project to a third of its original size.


He's now campaigning to stop the whole wind farm, as it might spoil the view from his golf course.


Why not help ensure Trump doesn't stop this project and rob the Scottish economy of its future.


Please show your support.


ACTION - Please email david.rodger@vattenfall.com and copy iain.todd@aberdeenrenewables.com and Scottish Minister john.swinney.msp@scottish.parliament.uk


Here is some suggested wording you can use, although it's always better if you can write some of your own:


The proposed windfarm represents an important diversification in the energy industry in Aberdeen. It will help provide a truly sustainable economy with skilled, high wage jobs. It represents a major investment in clean and renewable energy, one of Scotland's key goals. This is an important statement about the true future of economic development of the north-east. It should not be held to ransom by a Donald Trump's vanity project.


Many thanks for all that you continue to do.


Have a wonderful festive season.

Well, here he is!

Pat...If you read my posts, I am not 'For' or 'Against' Trump.
I am olde enough to remember all the Industry in Scotland...Shipyards in Glasgow, Oil Rigs and replenishment of same in the Aberdeen and Tain area, and two or three Air Bases.
These have pretty well all gone, or are in the process of elimination.

But I am also Young enough to know Scotland, especially the North needs 'something'...Whatever that will be.
Progress and Change are difficult to handle.

And why your comment 'Thanks to me', opposition to trump has never been higher? That is a bit stupifying, and the personal contempt from the other poster....Amazing.....I thought that this forum and you in particular were professional/ normal enough to have a discussion...But maybe I shall join Rich and sell Mounties...I know a wee bitty aboot that!

[pat]

sorry Sandy
that was taken from the latest release by "Tripping Up Trump" and not aimed at you personally.
It was the email which is received by everyone who asks for updates on "Tripping Up Trump". I ask for updates as I used to live near this area and am interested what is happening.

Tks for reply/ understood....

Dounreay...The North took it but it did cause a lot of grief/ pain & sickness.
Trump... Perhaps the same and then there will be someone else..There is a trade off with everything we do or decide!

[Walter Ego]

What's with the new thread regarding Trump, Sandy? Not getting the support you think you're due on here?

Let's face reality. His scheme could easily go ahead without the approximately one thousand houses that he wants to build alongside his precious course. But it won't.

If he did that, he might even get support from me. Providing he didn't boot law abiding Scots off their own land.

And whats the "I know who you are" comment about, anyway? Is it a threat?

Gosh you are quite childish. If you cannot/ are unable to debate and put consecutive words together...I dunno!

[Walter Ego]

I did in the quote you used just then.

I would say that you can't hack disagreement, hence your starting a seperate thread under a slightly different heading.

You accused me earlier in theis thread of having 'a chip on my shoulder', being 'jealous' and then some comment about 'ripping my heart out'. Now I am 'childish'. I fire back in an equally insulting manner and you cannot hack it.
Then you appear to 'know who I am' - I doubt that very much. Even if you do, feeble attempts to detract from the fact that your stance is getting absolutely no support whatsoever on this site simply reinforce your positions weakness.

Is that childish enough for you?

[sandyr1]

I have no stance and do not require support.
I thought that these two 'business people' were unique, and wanted to know first of all why Trump was hated.
I started the second thread as I couldn't find the first...perhaps due to the new format, or just me, after seeing Branson on National TV., and how he is here to start his new low cost whatever Airline.
So I would like to perhaps close this 'thread' but won't until I get permission, if not I'll be accused of covering something up.

[Walter Ego]

OK. Fair comment about the second thread.

But I don't think you need permission to shut the thread, Sandy. If you are the OP then I'm pretty certain you can lock the thread at any time.
