Trumpland Clearances
Donald Trump has asked the council to use their power to forcibly clear people from their homes, all in the name of a private golf course.
Below are just a few of the locals that are threatened.
David and Moira Milne first met in 1992, the same year he finally managed to buy the old coastguard look out. He began immediately to turn it from a disused, unloved coastguard station to a family home, a process that has taken a great deal of time, effort and emotional energy.
All the couple want is to be is left alone to enjoy their home in peace, but with the increasing aggressive attentions of the Trump Organisation that seems unlikely.
Michael Forbes has been happily living and working on his croft for 40 years, where he bides with his wife and elderly mother. He works as a foreman at a local quarry but when at home can always be found working around the croft, whether its farming, fixing machinery or fishing in the nearby sea. Michael has voiced on many occasions that he won’t sell to Trump because he wouldn’t just be losing his home but his way of life.
You can protest against the Trumpland clearances in a few weeks time, on the first of October, outside the AECC conference centre in Aberdeen.
gaaaah! massive pictures! resize them a bit?
I dunno how to resize them :S
I’m pretty much definetily going for the demo, going some time Wednesday and stay over night to make the demo. If anyone else in Glasgow is up for it let me know, or contact me through the moderators.
This is an issue I think for all people in Scotland, not just sheepsh…eh, Aberdonians. Compulsory purchases should be used for things like roadworks and landreform, not to mould a large chunk of the coast into a profit-making machine for Donald Trump.
