Brave Scotsman Stands Up to Donald Trump

Donald Trump is trying to build a golf resort on the east coast of Scotland, but Mike Forbes, a local fisherman, doesn't want to sell his land!

"I think maybe he thought we were all a load of cabbages up here and he could just sweep through and clear up," says Mike Forbes, 55, from his favourite easy chair by the gleaming window.

It all started when "The Donald" — as Trump's ex-wife, Ivana, liked to call him — bought a 1,400- acre plot by the beach in Belmedie, 11 miles north of Aberdeen, and announced plans to build Trump International Golf Links on it — along with a 450-bedroom hotel, 950 holiday homes, 36 luxury golf villas, 500 private residences, an elite golf academy, driving range and accommodation block for construction workers.
"That's where the golf course will be," Mike gestures from his chair, left arm bandaged up from a recent operation on his thumb.
"Fifty yards away on that side, and 50 yards away on the other."
For the problem is that Mike, Molly and Mike's 60-year-old wife, Sheila — currently hard at work in the fish factory down the road — live slap bang in the middle of Trump's site.
And they won't budge.
"To me, you can't put a price on it. I won't sell and he knows that," says Mike.

So what is the Donald doing about it?

"Put it this way, in the last few months I've had visits from animal cruelty, the RSPCA, environmental health and the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency.
Oh, and a couple of weeks ago I had the police round saying I had a shotgun with no licence. I don't even have a shotgun.
It all seems a bit coincidental, don't you think?
"He's also withdrawn access rights from my land down to the beach — I need a tractor to drag the nets, so without it, I can't fish."
He has also had lawyers' letters accusing him of damaging Mr Trump's property, which he denies.

Trump, you are a dirtbag. You and those government officials who have been harassing Forbes should be prosecuted for this.
