Bacon, lettuce and tomato - or summat like that.

Careful your prejudices are showing.

As his son Eric is reported to have said when he purchased the two courses in Scotland and the one in Ireland for cash, we don't need to rely on American Banks we've got all the money we need from Russian Banks. He blew another $85m renovating Turnberry Hotel in cash. All three courses have lost money since the purchase. FOUR!!!

1970 called, it wants its vocabulary back.

I missed the 70's over here as I was being raised in the Far East at the time.

Halcyon days

Have you been overseas, dave?

Empty vessels make the most sound.

How come these were given a starring role in a 'flagship' BBC chat show, week after week, if the "p-word" is a problem?

Lol Salmon

Trump will always be welcome at the Orange Lodge.

1diot alert.

Well done Mr Trump for buying the already wonderful Turnberry.

Hopefully the planned upgrades will make it an even more fabulous aspirational getaway, for people whose aim in life is a little higher than those who scream "Nazi" or "WAAAAAAAYCIST" at anyone/anything they don't like.

Trump played a round of golf today and got boo'ed by a small group of protesters.
They had a bagpipe player beside them which kinda blocked out the boos.
MrT took it in his stride by constantly waving and laughing at them.
Good on him.

Cannae whack hearing the pipes on yer own course

Love the bagpipes.

Instead of recognising Trump's businesses as a big positive for Scotland, Sturgeon instead ludicrously revoked his Business Ambassador role, because diddums got all upsetty-wetty when Trump proposed temporarily stopping Peace-Loving Immigrants coming to the USA. 

She preferred to indulge herself in virtue signalling, rather than have the future President of the USA even more closely connected to Scotland.

Could you imagine if Labour and the poisonous SNP formed a coalition

Would be awesome , destroy the spivs forever in Scotland

Read the last paragraph. So whats different with Trump?

We've seen ardent supporters of her - and her predecessor - in here change their tune re the SNP.

I hope for more

Anx, get out the cab you bell

I remember Salmond calling Trump an 1diot.
I think it was just before he lost his seat.

Some protests are okay.

Apparently a whole 9,000 people came out to protest in Edinburgh

Gretna Green get bigger home crowds, FFS

lol - I wish I were that guy with the middle finger salute

you want to protest against your biggest most powerful ally - go ahead - and count the bodies if they ever gave up on airstrip one.

Why the F were any of these grunts allowed anyway near Turnberry today?

Fckn DISGRACE to my country

Cancel the excited smiley

Read anywhere for anyway

Fkn shame on Scotland

What should be the qualifications to be allowed near Turnberry?

Rule Number ONE @ Turnberry

No grunts

Police Scotland need to be pulled up for this disgrace.

Can he enforce that for "near Turnberry" or just "@ Turnberry"?

Will Nippy oblige?  Will she bollocks.

Stay tuned,  I'm taking this further

Moose, did ye see those grunts on the course, putting the man off his game?

Was they on the course? Hope they all baked up a big jobbie beforehand.

That so called comic Janey Godley was there as expected.
Got a photo on twitter with her and an abusive anti-Trump poster getting a high 5 from a cop.
That's a feckin disgrace.

The poster called him a ****.
Bet if you paraded that in protest at Sturgeon you'd get arrested.

Nah, they're too busy to arrest silly ©unts like you.

Aw, I'm just showing off that I know how to spell ©unt and you don't.

Aw right. Never noticed

Do the demonstrators realise Pink's - Mr President to Dubya is no longer valid?

that motherf****r murdered my beach & killed our dunes. i will never forgive him. ******* sand thief.
he is low life trash

^ He created something outta nowt.
The place is in the middle of nowhere.
How many jobs are there at the golf estate now, a 100 probably and 100 more sustaining the place, daily food supplies, laundry etc.
How many minted golfing tourists visit this area and spend money now, a scottish wilderness.
And you miss the dunes that nobody in their right mind would think of ever going to see beforehand or since.

You strike me as a decent fella, NL.

What are you talking about?

I know Aberdeen, btw.

pm me

then you should know. did the jobs he promised materialise?
did the homes he said he would build even get to planning stage?
it was all BS as we knew it was and told them it was but that wee
pr1ck Salmond fell for it then very quickly realised he's been duped

I just seen what a precarious position he's in. He has to build a wall around that course asap.

Mex govt might be up for funding that.

it was disgusting that the course was ever allowed but the subsequent behaviour of the trump organisation
was just revolting. it was like something out of a western as the cattle baron tried to muscle honest
folk of their land. 

Donald Trump's north east golf course has "partially destroyed" the specially protected site it was built on.

That is the conclusion reached in a draft monitoring report by the government watchdog, Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH).
The findings have been released to the BBC under freedom of information, as the president prepares to visit the UK.

The assessment dates from 2016 but SNH has delayed a decision on downgrading the site from special status.
Donald Trump opened his controversial and widely acclaimed golf course on the Menie estate in Aberdeenshire in 2012.

It is partly built on Foveran Links - a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), originally listed as one of the most exceptional sand dune systems in Britain.

In 2008, SNH warned a planning inquiry that the golf course development would seriously damage the SSSI.

Planning permission was granted on the basis that the potential economic benefit would outweigh environmental harm.
In 2012, SNH advised the Trump Organisation that de-notification of the SSSI was likely.

They have been monitoring the impact of the course on the dunes and the habitat they created, with site visits in 2012, 2013 and 2016.

Two years ago they concluded that the site's special features had been "partially destroyed" with no prospect of recovery.

The draft site condition and monitoring report states that "part of the site has been destroyed or damaged by the construction of the golf course on Menie".

"Most of its important geomorphological features have been lost or reduced to fragments," it adds.
Before the course was built, the dune system moved north at substantial speeds - up to 11 metres (12 yards) per year - across an area of about 15 hectares (37 acres).

It was considered one of the finest examples of a mobile sand dune system in the UK.

In November 2017, SNH confirmed that it was reviewing the boundary of the Foveran Links SSSI.

It said a decision on whether or not to denotify all or part of the site was due by the end of that year.
Within days of that being reported by the BBC, SNH sent a full briefing to the Scottish government and held a meeting with the Trump Organisation.

It has since decided to consider the future of the Foveran Links site as part of a wider review including other SSSIs.

That has delayed a final decision which is now due to be taken by the SNH board later this year.

SNH has released a series of documents relating to the environmental status of Trump Aberdeen in response to a freedom of information request.

It has withheld documents that make recommendations about the site's future on the basis that publication could prejudice the board's decision.

Golf real estate died on its ar%e globally in the last 10 years. Not only Trump was effected. That was not Trumps fault.
So aberdeen housing project was always gonna struggle then.
Now Trump is in power driving a new economic boom himself, so things may well change.
He obvisouly still has faith in his scottish projects by visiting them now on this trip.

he lied & he bullied. he tried to force decent honest people off there land.
the facts are the facts and clearly documented. 
even if you are deluded enough to fall for his wider politics it would
still be reasonable to think his behaviour in this case was disgusting
