Press Statement

The reason why Tripping Up Trump (TUT) carried out the action at the British Open today is to publicise and let the world know what is happening here in Aberdeenshire. The Trump Organisation and council still won’t back down from forcibly removing the families from their homes; all in the name of a private golf course. The community at ‘Menie’ need to know what the future has in store for them, especially when the council are now allowing the Trump to advance closer in on their homes. This is an unacceptable situation and it needs to be addressed before further development takes place.

The Trump organisation has already started to destroy a unique and protected environmental site but TUT will not allow him to also destroy the families’ lives any further.

Please support us and help us raise the profile on the serious rights under threat.

“This was a fun stunt with a very serious message. If Trump thinks it’s acceptable to threaten Scottish families’ lives and homes then we must let the world know what he is doing. What better place to do this then St Andrews, the home of golf.” Martin Glegg, Spokesperson
