OUT TRUMPING DONALD

I should think just about everyone has heard of Donald Trumps shenanigans on the East Cost of Scotland. In an attempt to build a huge golf course in the middle of some of the most beautiful and sensitive coastal land he has caused much mischief.

Strong arm bully boy tactics were used to force landowners to leave their property. The local Authority, The Scottish Government and even the local police force were culpable in this unsavoury episode.

Finally Mr God Almighty Trump, King of the comb overs was defeated by the very environmental disaster he himself had created. I shall not go in to the details here as they are a matter of record so anyone who is interested can look them up.

But it is not just foreigners who pose a threat to the British countryside, we have plenty of home grown vandals to worry about. I heard today that the Barclay Brothers, a pair of would be kings have fired another salvo in their attempt to take over completely the Island of Sark. one of the Channel Islands. Not content with the purchase of Brecqhou a small island adjacent to Sark they are determined to buy up Sark as well.

Initially they began to buy up businesses on the island, restaurants,shops, even the local newspaper came under their control. Once they had gained control over the tourist industry they began to make life difficult for the Islanders.

Scurrilous news reports , some truly disgraceful were published in the local press accusing residents of unspeakable crimes, and bully boys were brought in to intimidate the Islanders. Even a television Reporter was followed around the island and was threatened by the Barclay Brothers henchmen.

They even made an attempt to take over the government of the Island which is independent and dates back many centuries, the islanders refused. That made the brothers angry.

Now the brothers have announced that they will not be opening any of the five major restaurants  on the island owned by them in the 2015 holiday season. This will put not only the restaurant workers out of their jobs but will also bring ruin to the rest of the tourist industry on the island. Guest houses, and most tourist related businesspeople suffer dreadfully because of this.

It is easy to see that the grim brothers hope that people will leave if they cannot make a living and in a free country this kind of activity is a disgrace.

It seems that they have the backing of the highest in the land as our Prime Minister and his wife are frequent visitors to the mock castle (shocking taste by the way) built by the wannabe kings on Brecqhou.

The place is like a fortress,I wonder why?

The Brothers have “previous” as they say, and are renown for buying up properties using front men to do the business. Empty properties are then listed as businesses such as Estate agencies, B Holdings springs to mind for one. In fact they are nothing of the kind,I wonder why the brothers do this? In fact why all the secrecy surrounding their comings and goings,what have they got to hide?

Ordinary folks would get a quizzing from the Inland Revenue or a visit from the Fraud Squad. They get a visit from the prime Minister of England.

Local authorities are paid off using Section 106 which is little better than a legal way to give bribes. Who else is being paid off by these characters?

People are intimidated by the wealth, the secrecy and the strong arm tactics employed by these men who are little better than gangsters, the only difference is that they are allowed to operate without let or hindrance for the law.

I have been fighting this kind of outrage for any years,and it has often cased me much trouble,but if no one speaks out them and their kind will eventually be the ruin of this country, as who;e communities and ancient ways of life cease to exist.

Might cannot be allowed to be right, there is an old saying “Evil will flourish if good men do nothing”... It's time we got off our buts and started to yell..how about it folks?
