You've Been Trumped Page #4

- ALL:
You will be the next to go!

Early in 2009, Mr Trump's legal

people approached the council

with suggestions as to how they

might justify to councillors

the use of compulsory purchase.

'The Trump Organization have asked

the council to consider using CPOs,

'and councillors decided

it was inappropriate

'to reject the use of

compulsory purchase orders

'without a full report.'

It leaves a big cloud over

our heads, that's all it does.

Disappointment mixed with

fury, to be quite honest.

This is an action of people with

no conscience and no willpower.

This is typical of the

sort of thing that we get.

Oh, it's very typical.

It's very typical for

councillors like yourself

to defer decisions that are

critical to people's livelihoods.

And you failed. You failed.

'I am thrilled with the outcome.

'They continue to diminish the

importance and nonsensical motions

'put forth by Mr Ford,

'and, hopefully, these

will be the last few minutes

'of his political career.

'Because I think he's blown

'virtually everything

he's ever touched.'

Since that time, the residents at Menie,

in their own homes,

have been living with the

threat of the possibility

that they would be forced to

leave them against their will.

- Just bang the window.

- Jesus, how do you do business with someone who doesn't have a door?

I look at his place, and it's a pigsty.

Do I regret that? No, I

don't regret, it's a pigsty.

It turns out, actually,

we've got a collection

of remarkable principled people,

who have recognised what's

right and what's wrong.

And have said they are

not standing for wrong.

Ben,

what we wanted to ask you...

Have you ever thought about moving?

Um... No.

You see, the thing is, I'm

still working the place myself.

It's my living.

All my relations have been

salmon fishing all their lives.

My great-grandfather, my

grandfather, my father, all my uncles,

they're all salmon fishers.

It's just in the blood, you

know, you just have to do it.

I was 14 and half, I went

down to fish with my uncle

when I left school.

I worked with him for a few years

and I went trawling.

Everybody knew everybody, you know.

All the salmon fishers knew

everybody. It was great.

It was cotton nets back then.

They rotted quick, so they

had to make a lot of nets.

These new ones, they're

made of plastic, polythene,

they last a lot longer and

they are lighter, you know.

So you needed a full crew to

work the old nets, you know.

This boat this size

here, you'd have needed

probably six, six men to

pull one of these nets up.

Now you can do it with two, you know.

Still am, I still am fishing.

I haven't done it for

the last couple of years,
