Standing Together

A Voice for the Voiceless

The threat of forced evictions was deliberately held over the heads of the Menie families for nearly two years. Donald Trump's track record showed he could not be trusted to behave reasonably towards his neighbours or act responsibly towards the environment.

The residents of Menie turned to the traditional avenues of support for help in their situation, the government, the police and the local press, but they found closed doors, as the bullying tactics and railroading of the Trump development were kept under the carpet.

Tripping Up Trump was a voice for the local residents, allowing their story to reach a wider audience and tell Scotland and the world how they had been treated and making it as difficult as possible for Trump to continue.

Committed to the Cause

TUT was successful in deterring Trump and his organisation from pursuing a Compulsory Purchase Order against the residents of Menie.  He has publicly declared this is an avenue he will no longer pursue.

As good as this sounds, we've seen Trump go back on his word many times before and we're not going to take our eyes off the development at Menie.

We are committed to the residents of Menie and ensuring that Trump doesn't use his bullying tactics any further.  We are a movement and we are always ready to move.  In the absence of support from traditional avenues we have been a voice for the local residents and we will continue do all we can to protect the residents of Menie and ensure that any damage to the beautiful dunes of Menie is as small as possible.

We'd love to hear from you
