Default Peaceful protestors 'shut down' Aberdeen Airport
Well, according to their site anyway. I was there about 10 minutes ago and all I could see was a banner hung from the roof that said "Nae Trump games with climate change".

Had to laugh this morning at their spokesman squirming when asked his views on the case of a woman from Shetland being unable to access vital cancer treatment in Aberdeen today because her flight was cancelled.

He was also trying to link the airport expansion in with Trump, which is total bullshit. I'm no fan of either scheme, but the expansion has been planned for ages, long before Trump came on the scene.

I didn't hear the interview, but it seems Trump backs the expansion and of course it's then probably beneficial for them to try and work that angle.

Don't bank on that - There was a very long period where it was obvious that someone had plans for Menie but we had no idea who.

Equally, if the rumours I'm hearing turn out to be true, Trump may well have a direct involvement in the airport expansion.

Yeah yeah yeah, I heard a rumour, can't reveal my sources, my mate works at the council, brown envelopes etc etc etc.

All this conspiracy theory bullshit and innuendo that can't be backed up in fact simply undermines the credibility of the very many valid environmental arguments against the airport expansion.

The fact is that Trump doesn't need a bigger airport (or indeed a golf course for that matter) to sell lots of big houses and that's all he really wants to do.

Airport expansion is happening all over the place, and it would be happening in Aberdeen with or without Trump.

Funnilly enough, this did not come from within the council. But it is only one of the more minor concerns FTM, you are right about there being much more pressing arguments.

Yes, provision for the runway extension has been there since the 70's expansion - that was probably only a matter of time.
