Bohemian Rhapsody... by Donald Trump?

Thanks to @PuppetTrump

 I've blogged in the past (see footnotes) about the horrors Donald Trump and his ego are inflicting on Scotland with his 'golf resort'. His destruction of a SSSI, the bulldozing of a piece of wild Aberdeenshire coastline and his bullying of local families in an attempt to move them from their homes and land have been documented by film maker Anthony Baxter @AntBaxter in his multi-award winning movie You've Been Trumped.

The organisation leading the campaign against Donald Trump @TrippingUpTrump is online here:

All you need to know is there.

Tripping Up Trump (TUT) has established itself as the popular movement against the use of compulsory purchase for private profit. TUT's campaign has stood alongside the people and protected environment threatened by Donald Trump’s development in Aberdeenshire.

The TUT campaign has been key to Donald Trump's retreat from the use of compulsory purchase orders.

The threat of forced evictions was deliberately held over the heads of the Menie families for nearly two years. Donald Trump's track record shows he cannot be trusted to behave reasonably towards his neighbours or act responsibly towards the environment. He has bullied and mislead from the start.
TUT is committed to supporting the rights of the families at Menie and will highlight and seek to stop any further bullying or other wrongs by the Trump Organisation in Scotland.

We need your support. Please spread the word and join this important campaign.

Yesterday, the latest in the campaign against Trump was launched, and let's hope this goes viral! Brian May has granted permission for a remake of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, and here it is (oh no it isn't any longer... see below for location....)  starring none other than The Donald, The Hair and his Great Doones of Scotland.



Brilliant. Enjoy!

UPDATE March 30th:

Hazel Cameron posted an announcement 16 hours ago

The video has caused such a sensation – over 20,000 views in 3 days – that Youtube have been forced to take it down. We’re fighting this – but meanwhile here it is again on the vimeo site

Scotland the Brave - Trump and trams

For anyone who has missed the two major stories keeping the pages of the Scotsman filled I can't begin to explain in a short blog the background to them. I can, however, point, as far as the first is concerned, to the excellent campaign now being waged against Ol' Combover Donald Trump's Toytown Golf Resort which is to ruin forever a Site of Special Scientific Interest in Aberdeenshire, Tripping up Trump.

Bad enough that the Scottish government rolled over and caved in at the first sniff of 'rich man's gold', but worse, there is now talk of compulsory purchase of people's homes in order that this 'luxury resort' can be built.


Link to the site, read all about it, and you can join the campaign and sign the petition here:

Tripping Up Trump

Tripping Up Trump is a fresh energised movement standing up for the local people and environment threatened by Donald Trump’s development in Aberdeenshire.

This real life story is no longer just about whether you agree or not with the controversial golf and housing complex. This is now about the human rights of the local people threatened by Donald Trump’s aggressive use of power. Trump is pushing to use compulsory purchase to clear local people from their land, not for a school, or a hospital, but for his profit.

Worse still, Trump received outlined planning permission on the grounds that he had all the land he needed. This is why Tripping Up Trump stands strong, demanding that Donald Trump doesn’t abuse the law and locals affected by his controversial golf course.

Say NO to compulsory purchase and sign our petition!

The plans (and comments!) can be seen and read here:

I did enjoy Jonathan Meade's take on it all (about four and half minutes in to this short programme):



Next up, the trams in Edinburgh, which I first wrote about here:

and here:

A highly amusing, in a wry sort of way, as it's all true and worse besides, video has appeared on YouTube, which deserves a wide audience.



How it will all end is anyone's guess. Heads should roll, but of course, they won't.
