I was appalled to hear the news that the Scottish parliament has overturned the local council's decision not to give planning permission to Donald Trump's plans for golf courses and hotels on the Aberdeenshire coastline. First we had Blair's craven obedience to Bush over the illegal war in Iraq, and now Salmond is selling off bits of Scotland to this buffoon.
It was bad enough giving up the Highlands, so overweight Englishmen could slaughter "wild" fowl (bred for the purpose), but now Scotland is to be sold off in bits, so that overweight Americans can chase a white ball over grass dunes.
I'll be interested to hear how many MSPs are given free life membership to play on the proposed courses or have cut-price stays in the planned luxury hotels. Is there nothing left that can't be bought by the US dollar?
The Scottish parliament should hang its head in shame. Sorry - I forgot that's an outdated concept.

I doubt many Lib Dems or Labour MSP will qualify but just who happens to be the MSP for the area?
