Trump refused offers to give his views in the film.

Strange as he is an addicted publicity seeker.

Neveretheless the film makers stated Trump's view many times in the film.

On Friday night he was still threatening and bullying the BBC not to show it.

The film is balanced.

Those who think it was OK would change their tune if Trump's bulldozers moved in to flatten THEIR houses.

Dave- what happens to it if the 500 lodges and massive hotel don;t get built though?

How many local people are actually employed / were employed during construction?

Are the berms that we all saw getting piled around all the houses to make the "view better" still there? If so, the development is illegal as it has "stolen" daylight from neighbouring properties, which, believe me, you cannot do.

If he had got planing approval then stuck rigidly to that, then there are less problems. If he had employed local companies with local workers, again less problems.

If, as it appears, he has parachuted in a workforce for construction and ridden roughshod over the planning system, then Mr Trump may be in the wrong.
