You've Been Trumped Page #2

---

So he knows that.

His people know that,

whoever his people may be.

Oh, well...

Nobody's complained

about it up to now, eh?

He passed us this

morning and just flew on

in his top-of-the-range Range

Rover with blacked out windows.

Oh, I missed getting a super photo

of him the first time he arrived here.

The wind got him on the escarpment.

And I thought the press would have loved that,

I could have sold that picture for a fortune.

His hair was sticking out like that.

You know, the whole

lacquered thing had come off,

where it's all wound around,

and was out to a point.

Damn it.

This is my husband's

hat, aboard this boat.

He was chief petty officer on deck.

It's a bit dusty.

There he is, look,

under the red umbrella.

Where he is just now,

which is just looking

slightly to the right,

is where he was hoping

to put in the clubhouse.

And where he was going to

put it in, it tends to flood,

because the water all runs

down off the land into there.

So have difficulty

putting a clubhouse there

unless it's on stilts.

My father, he sang songs

that you never hear of today.

And he used to sing a song,

"You'll never miss the water

till the well runs dry."

Which is a very true saying, isn't it?

It really shouldn't matter

if the applicant is

Mother Theresa of Calcutta

and she wants to carry

out the development

in order to raise

money to help the sick.

Or indeed even if it's Donald Trump.

The permission isn't to the

person, it's to the land.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I'd now like to welcome a representative

from the Green Party to the stage

- local councillor Martin Ford.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you very much. For

those of you who don't know,

in Aberdeenshire, we have a council

who gives Donald Trump

everything he asks for,

and can't make up their minds

whether to throw people out

of their own homes to help him.

Firstly, I think it's important

for people not from the

northeast of Scotland

to have some sense of the build-up.

In 2006, I think that was

the first official state visit

by Mr Trump to Scotland.

'His plan is for the Menie

Estate at Balmedie, near Aberdeen.

'On it, he will create two golf courses,

'a 450-bedroom hotel

'and housing, as well as holiday

apartments and golf villas.

'An investment of 1 billion.'

'Multimillion-pound golf resort

in Aberdeenshire is rejected.

'The chairman of a committee

of Aberdeenshire councillors

'used his casting vote after a

three-hour meeting was deadlocked.'

All the parties had committed

themselves to sustainable development.

And you could apply the tests

of sustainable development

to the Trump proposal.

And it failed them. It

failed them in spades.
