One thing about this one was how it linked us up with ...
He also sacks folk wholsale, esp when his buisnesses go right to the edge of failure. Never mind the numbers of smaller suppliers, contractors & creditors who have had to take catastrophic losses because of his manipulation of the US Chapter 11 bankruptcy laws to stay afloat. The big financiers of course did much better.

Right - Public access will be out. FTM, the Menie dunes are a place free to all: Quote: Dave Morris, of the Ramblers Association of Scotland, asked the celebrity if it was his intention to have security gates on the site and that members of the public would be stopped and not permitted entry.
