Title: Petition time?
Post by: Ina on March 05, 2013, 07:00:57 pm

This might interest at least those of you who live north of the border...

  Public inquiry into handling of the Trump Resort
 
We are calling on the Scottish Parliament, through the Public Petitions Committee, to urge the Scottish Government to hold a public inquiry into the way local government, Scottish Ministers and other relevant public bodies conducted themselves throughout their dealings with the Trump Organisation in relation to the Menie project.

I signed ages ago - I think they are well on target, but the more the better.  The man is a complete   :horse:-O  Just wants to make more money and ruin my home town.  I used to go gundog training/shooting on the Menie estate - it is beautiful and deserves so much better than the cr*p he is putting on it - even one of his own sons said it should remain a shooting estate.  Please help by signing.

I thought this was a new one - I'm sure I signed another one before (against the project rather than for the public enquiry). Only just got this one sent, but maybe it has been around for a while.

I signed and although not a local was disgusted but not at all shocked how his money was able to sway not only polititions but the police force as well, this is a prime example how things work, no matter who we vote for or what nice people they are, its the money that talks in the end.

I signed too.
Anyone know if there is a petition or way of telling the government that I support of the proposed windfarm in Aberdeen bay?

Trump has promised not to build any more if they build the windfarm as it would spoil his view.
I think his hotel will spoil the view from the windfarm.

I read that Trump ( wonder if some one named the wind from an upset tummy after him) paid an anti wind farm group something to help thier protest,  :innocent:
I am not a fan of wind farms, they do not look bad but I am not sure on the cost effectiveness of them BUT, a wind farm is a much better proposition than a Trump Town ::)
