ONDON (AP) - A man has been charged in connection with a Greenpeace protest that breached a no-fly security zone and flew a banner close to the golf resort where President Donald Trump was staying, Scottish police said Sunday.


The paraglider carried a banner reading "Trump: Well Below Par" Friday night over Trump's Turnberry resort in western Scotland to protest his environmental policies. After the glider appeared, Trump was seen cutting across the grass, quickly heading to the entrance of the resort.


Police in Scotland said 55-year-old man was arrested and charged. They did not give further details. The man is due to appear at a local court Monday.

The more layers he passed the more medals he’ll get.

In golf parlance, “well below par” is a good thing, yes?

This clown couldn’t even get his insult right.

Seems to be a pattern - governmental agencies seem reluctant to give details (and so-called journalists can’t seem to be bothered to investigate) when it suits them.

It’s happened to all of us, at one time or another, and we are all wondering how on earth did that happen. 😁

ROFLOL

Well below par. lol

Maybe the SS read the banner and decided it was safe to assume the guy is either not too bright or is a stealth supporter. lol
