Scottish Parliament Rejects Call for Trump Wealth Order (Golf Courses)
Yahoo News ^ | February 4, 2021

The Scottish parliament on Wednesday rejected a call for the government to investigate how Donald Trump funded his purchase of two golf courses in Scotland, a request dismissed as "pathetic" by one of the former U.S. president's sons.

The Scottish Green Party brought forward a motion calling on ministers to seek an "unexplained wealth order" (UWO) against Trump over his acquisition of the golf courses and resorts in north and west Scotland. It was defeated by a vote of 89 to 32.

The party's co-leader Patrick Harvie said there were longstanding concerns about Trump's financial conduct, describing the ex-president as "an untrustworthy dishonest, racist, conspiracy theorist" with whom Scotland should never have associated.

So many mentally challenged people these days.

What we have going on here though is a global network of
Soviet Union / Third Reich wanna bes, trying to destroy
anyone who isn’t on board the next effort to kill over
100 million people, and this time this century.

Hey Patrick Harvie

I have long standing concerns about your mental capacity and the Scottish Greens ( Ha Ha Ha ha Ha) capacity to to do anything ethical or not virtue signalling. <<<

Look at me I am against Orange man Trump so you must vote for me> I dont have any policies that wont consign Scotland to the relevance of Iceland but hey who needs policies anyway, just ask Joe Biden.

Socialists alway hate capitalists, and I am glad to see the vote was so lop sided in Trump’s favor, what a slap down for
the Greens. I hope Trump gets the Nobel Prize and Not that
twerp Greta.

Well as least there was a momentary reprieve with the parliament’s rejection of the wanna-be Global Statists.

Coincidentally, was thinking about the golf courses prior to checking into FR. And what you wrote is exactly what I was contemplating.

I’d say a vote of 89 to 32 is a pretty resounding rejection of an obvious rabblerousing matter that is not so concerning after all to the average logic-applying and freedom-loving Scot. And those EUbedmate rabblerousers who think Scots think like EU liberals need to rethink their thought process.

Need to bring forth a USO “Unexplained Stupid Order” against the Scottish Green Party. You just can’t fix stupid.

I would say that a 32 vote FOR is pretty dismaying.

32 of 121 is 26%. So 1 in 4 are complete loons.
