Two Doctors: The Trouble With Donald
Yesterday Aberdeenshire Council sunk to a new low, something previously believed to be against the laws of physics, by deciding not to block Trump's threat of compulsory purchase against local residents.
On Wednesday night Council sources had briefed reputable media outlets that Councillor Ford's motion against compulsory purchase was unacceptable, but that another anti- CPO amendment would pass. By yesterday morning they were back in line with the tribble-haired Mr Trump (pictured with friends).
It was a grim day for the families, who had argued so passionately for certainty from their elected representatives. Many red-shirted Councillors made craven comments about never voting for compulsory purchase, then failed to vote against. This did not go down well, and I suspect they won't get beamed back into the Council chambers come 2012.
The response from the Trump Organisation would have made Spock weep, too. This was a "logical" decision. Live long and prosper, it seems, so long as it's not in your own homes.

"This did not go down well, and I suspect they won't get beamed back into the Council chambers come 2012."
What went down even worse was Aberdeenshire Council's decision to reject the initial application. So, on those grounds, they have redeemed themselves and may well get elected. I suspect Mr Ford will have more trouble getting beamed back into the Council chambers without the Liberal Democrat 'Trojan Horse' cover.
This comment illustrates how out of touch you seem with this development and how in touch the Aberdeenshire Councillors have become.
"Trump's threat of compulsory purchase against local residents." (???)
It's the council that decides on CPO's, as you have already outlined, not Trump. A nice play with words. But hey, any piece of propaganda helps.
There's a perception in the NE that the same people who shouted so loudly against the entire development, are the ones crying wolf again. And that's a shame because this is a much more serious issue, and one that requires serious discussion. That's all been rubbished now, and we're back to Ford v Trump again.
