His 'schemes' have meant money and jobs for others.

I think you have a lot different view of him than we do here. Yes, he's arrogant and haughty, but he's also somebody who takes money and makes it work in a capitalistic society.

Bono from U-2 was once talking about the difference between people here and people over there in GB.

He was saying that people here in America see a guy's house up on a hill and say, "I wanna be like that guy" whereas people over there see that same house and think, "I'm gonna get that bastard."
 
Aberdeenshire & particularly the part he is eying-up has amongst the lowest unemployment rates in Scotland. All the signs are that apart from a few token positions, Trump plans to recruit almost entirely elsewhere & unlike other schemes of his, the local council here has not seen fit to set them any targets for local recruitment or expenditure as part of the planning conditions.

We also have a reasonably buoyant local economy, which is still bucking the current trends somewhat & still flying a good bit higher than the service/tourism sector - Which is probably why he wants to build so many houses (this scheme is not just about golf/hotels). His evidence to the PLI for the economic case also clearly demonstrated that he & TIGLS simply do not have anything like the sums they had previously claimed to invest & are looking to carry the whole thing through on a bubble - Trump has come unstuck with this model before.

Which would have still been fine with most folk currently opposed to him if he had not proposed to jeapordise a sensitive protected area in the process - There is plenty of less important land on the site he could have worked with without anything like the same level of opposition.

Then his folk began behaving like arrogant cunts.

Why is it a good thing to want to be rich?

Bono? Fucking Bono? :mad::rolleyes:
 
bono isn't really going to help your cause:mad:
I'd thought the credit crunch would put paid to this dumb scheme
 
Unfortunately not. :(

The problem is that the housing market in the Aberdeen area is still slightly more bouyant than the rest of the country.

Sean Connery is the latest "name" associated with the Trump publicity machine.

He's not even lived here for what, 30-odd years. Nice to see he still knows all about wat we need. :hmm:
 
I has been made pretty clear that the opinions of ordinary people are not wanted for this. Unless of course you support it.

Otherwise only the big names count! :mad:
 
Radio 4 did a sizeable peice on this this evening. A discernable anti Trump flavour to it I thought. I sort of thought this result was inevitable given the hands on effort from AS. Its not all over til the fat lady sings - point me toward the barricades, I fancy a ruck.
 
Trump's fortunes are taking a dive.

After years as perhaps the most recognisable face of capitalist success and excess, Donald Trump is suddenly bogged down in a string of legal and financial battles across his property and entertainment empire.

From Dubai to Chicago, from Atlantic City to Aberdeen, the host of the US version of The Apprentice is scaling back his ambitions for global domination, trying to fend off furious bankers and facing new questions from political opponents.

These are grim echoes of the past for a man who, during the recession of the early-Nineties, was forced to put large chunks of his business into bankruptcy, and even teetered on the edge of financial ruin. His re-emergence from that disaster is such a source of personal pride that he even sued the author of a book that estimated his wealth in mere millions, rather than billions, of dollars. The official tally – from Forbes magazine, which is the unofficial arbiter of these things – is that Mr Trump was worth $3bn (£2bn) at the last count, but that was before a string of disasters that was still unfolding yesterday.

Has he finally bitten off too much? :D
 
Maybe - Some of his most sterling backers are also in deep shit just now & the Chapter 33 filing for the Entertainment Resorts maybe a warning of more to come.

Either way, watch & wait. ;)
 
He may be coming back again:

DONALD Trump will jet into Scotland in Spring for the country’s Homecoming celebrations.

The tycoon will visit his Menie Estate in the North-east with his family.

Mr Trump had been due to stay at the site of his planned £1 billion golf resort at Balmedie before Christmas.

However, he is delaying his trip so it will coincide with the country’s year-long celebration of the 250th anniversary of the birth of poet Robert Burns.

In the same week, it has been announced that Auchmill Golf Course is now under serious threat of closure as it has become unsustainable & the council can no longer keep propping it up
 
There's a few sloppy mistakes on that scotscare website. The voting form bit says 2007 instead of 2008 and lists James McAvoy as Hamlet although nearer the top of the page it got it right with David Tennant.
Is this a serious outfit?:confused:
 
Was there not some recent news about Tennant giving over his part in Hamlet to someone else became he had injured his back or something?

That may explain the McAvoy confusion?
