@izzythepush,
But the people elected him as you said they wouldn't. So maybe you shouldn't set yourself up as someone who understands Brit politics....since proof that you don't is splayed all over the news covers Globally. I will give them a call and demand that they stop pontificating, since we all know you have the sole right to speak about British politics- wrong as **** though you may forever be.

Scotland Wind Farm Approved Off Aberdeen Coast, Donald Trump To Sue

AP | By SYLVIA HUI
Posted: 03/26/2013 1:20 pm EDT Updated: 05/26/2013 5:12 am EDT
SCOTLAND WIND FARM DONALD TRUMP


LONDON — The Scottish government on Tuesday approved an offshore wind farm that has drawn the ire of American tycoon Donald Trump, who fears it will spoil the views at his luxury golf resort nearby.

Trump vowed to bring a lawsuit to stop the 230 million pound ($349 million) development, which consists of 11 wind turbines planned off the coast near Aberdeen in northeastern Scotland.

"We will spend whatever monies are necessary to see to it that these huge and unsightly industrial wind turbines are never constructed," the real estate mogul said in a statement.

Scottish energy minister Fergus Ewing said the project will boost the local economy, test new technologies and be capable of providing energy to meet the electricity needs of 49,000 homes – almost half the number in Aberdeen.

The wind farm, owned by Swedish power company Vattenfall and a local business consortium, still needs to obtain a marine license and approval for an onshore substation.

Trump is concerned that the turbines will spoil sea views for golfers at his sprawling, 750 million pound ($1.2 billion) resort at Menie Estate, which opened last summer despite strong local opposition.

The businessman, who bought the land north of Aberdeen in 2006, was due to add a luxury hotel to the site but he has said he will not proceed with those plans until the wind farm project is rejected.

Trump Organization argues that Scottish leader Alex Salmond and his predecessor gave verbal assurances that a wind farm would never be approved off the coast of the resort.

The tycoon criticized Tuesday's approval as a "purely political decision" and claimed it would ruin tourism and natural beauty in Scotland.

"We will put our future plans in Aberdeen on hold, as will many others, until this ridiculous proposal is defeated," he said.

Trump himself has been criticized by local residents and environmentalists, who protested that his golf resort threatened the coastal sand dunes and wildlife in the area.

In total, the resort has permission to build two golf courses, a 450-room hotel and holiday homes along 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) of coast.

I'm sorry if this is impolitic (no pun intended) to ask, but... why is this whole election relevant to this thread, or discussions about the US presidential election?

No they didn't. He won the leadership campaign, and I never said he wouldn't win that.

The only proof is that his policies have received a lot of attention and set up a real difference between Labour and the Conservatives.

Seeing as how you still don't understand the difference between the electorate who votes in a General Election, and that which elects a party leader, you shouldn't set yourself up as someone who understands what they read in a newspaper.

@snood,
I posted an article about how Trump was fooled into retweeting a picture of Jeremy Corbyn. Lash then took it as an opportunity to show how little she understands anything outside her own front door, and she's been proudly wearing her stupidity on her sleeve ever since.

When someone posts something so monumentally ignorant and uninformed I need to set the record straight.

Done. Doesn't really explain the continued horse flogging, but gives me some context, at least.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:

Was "Trump University" a scam? Top story on the Washington Post right now
The "honest" label attached to Donald Trump suffered a hit as the Washington Post breaks the story of Donald Trump's "Trump University", a failed university that is being currently sued for false advertisement by the State attorney general. Students apparently didn't learn **** despite their high tuition money.

Donald tRump loses job to an IMMIGRANT!


Arnold Schwarzenegger to Replace Donald Trump As Host of ‘Celebrity Apprentice
Source: Variety

NBC has tapped Arnold Schwarzenegger to replace Donald Trump as host of “The Celebrity Apprentice.”

Schwarzenegger is a natural choice for the “CEO” role in the reality-competition franchise that challenges celebrities to prove themselves as entrepreneurs as they raise money for charitable causes. In addition to his credentials as an action-movie star, Schwarzenegger is a two-term former governor of California and has long had a range of business holdings, from restaurants to real estate development to sports franchises.

“I have always been a huge fan of ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ and the way it showcases the challenges and triumphs of business and teamwork,” Schwarzenegger said. “I am thrilled to bring my experience to the boardroom and to continue to raise millions for charity. Let’s get started!”

In fact, it will be more than a year before Schwarzenegger makes his debut on the show. NBC said “Celebrity Apprentice,” exec produced by Mark Burnett, will return to the air sometime in the 2016-17 season.

When 40 is percent of the people support an idea that the major media almost universally rate as too crazy/stupid to consider we know that the major media is not paying attention. Well, either that or they are lying to us again, take your pick.
