You've Been Trumped Page #5

that looks onto all of

the other properties,

which are in a similar position

of maybe coming under

compulsory purchase.

It was just...it was perfect.

20 turns up, I'll be happy.

HE LAUGHS:

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

HE LAUGHS:

It's in grossly bad taste,

which, of course, is spot on. Yes.

We all need a hockey

stick or a baseball bat.

I really wanted an interactive

piece. That was quite important.

That they weren't just passively,

you know, looking at pieces of work.

ALL:
Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I've seen some of them in the

computer...David's computer.

But they don't look the

same in the computer.

The Trump paintings, the accent's

very much on the red. The anger.

Whereas Michael's

very much the cool blue

and the relaxed greens

that reflect the diversity

of where they come

from and what they mean

and what their intentions are, you know.

I think these intentions are very angry.

Very self-motivated.

Very self-interested.

The way they display their wealth

and their attitude, you know.

It is very much a contrast

with what goes on here.

But you would expect that.

I mean, he's an international figure,

and Michael's a very...local figure.

He's very much appreciated

by his local friends

and people who know him.

A lot of local people here are

certainly a lot more down to life,

you know. I think living

in the real world, you know.

And it just shows you, you know,

the support we have round about.

..Absolute bias in favour of Trump.

- Aye.

- And reporting his negative and destructive comments about you.

- It's very personal, isn't it?

- I know, I know.

Flying about is a

most extravagant thing.

And building a property

and golf development here

to attract American golfers

is...is just contrary to

environmental way of life

that we will have to lead.

It's a personal gift

to Michael and Sheila.

It feels important for me

to give something to them

for all the help that they've given me.

Like all my paintings, I find

it very difficult to talk about

while it's in its early stages.

Um... But it's going to

be an image of Michael

on the salmon fishing boat.

It was a Saturday, and Michael

was washing the Land Rover,

and he also washed Sheila's car.

And then, the hose went to a trickle.

And he says, "Oh, the

water's surely off."

So he came over and said to

me, "Be canny with your water,

"because I think it's going off."

You see that line of trees.

Well, just at this end here,

that's where my well is.

Well, it's a

spring-cum-well.

As you can see, the lorry is

going around there just now.

They built the road on top of my spring.

Well, I think my water is more important

than his bloody road just now.

But, uh...not to them, eh?

I phoned up. They keep saying

they are going to fix it -

I'm still waiting.

You'd think it'd be a priority.

See, no water. Dry.

How long has that been going on for?

That's since last Saturday.

They were digging up

there on the Friday,

and Hewison from down the road here,

he went up and complained

there was no water.

They said they would

get it fixed right away.

Well, that's a week now I've been

waiting and still haven't done it.

I got the police down, and they won't

have nothing to do with it either.

Would be different if it was

the other way around, like.

If it was me cut off their water,

I would have been charged by now.

I'm really pissed off. I'm

running out of clean clothes.

Dishes are piling up.

You know, you need water.

I've been taking water out of the

burn to have a wash in the morning.

It's not right.

I needed water for the hens,

because they drink a lot of water.

My plants outside and

my two greenhouses.

So I took the barrow and...I call

it a "rooser", the watering can,

and a piece of rope tied to a paint pot.

And I dipped in the

paint pot in the burn

and filled the rooser and just

rode the barrow back up again.

And then Michael said, "There's

a wee drop coming from the hose,"

his hose, "So you'll

get some for drinking."

Nothing. Dry.

This is just another

ploy, as I say, with Trump,

to get, to piss people off, you know.

It's not on.

I'm really pissed off as well

that the police is all

one-sided, you know.

They says they're not biased

- of course they are.

HE CHUCKLES:

Yeah.

No, I'm just trying to work

out the facts, basically.

No, it's not an angle.

It's not an angle.

I'm just trying to work out

why if Michael has been

without water for a week...

- You know, rather than...

- You know, why...?

Yeah.

What are we looking at over here, then?

Quite a mess now.

We seem to have

inherited a new lake here.

Um... Mr Trump, I don't

know what he's doing.

But he's scraped all this.

Oh, here's the police now.

That's the police there.

You get a photo of them.

'Next thing was the security van

'comes sneaking around the corner there

'and told the police you

were over with Suzy Munro.

'And then, they just

took off up the road.

'And before they went away,

I says to them, I says,'

"Who are you going to charge now?

And he says, "We don't charge

anybody. We're the good guys."

With all due respect, sir, would

you mind turning the camera off?

What's it about?

I bet you they've been

on the phone about this.

Your visit there.

It's absolutely sickening.

Absolutely sickening. This

is what it'll have been about.

I tell you, I hope they get on

to the Environmental Health today,

because having no water for a

week and no toilets, no facilities,

is an absolute disgrace.

They've removed all the

topsoil off the ground.

I mean, this is almost

like a flood plain.

As you can see, with the

bulrushes and everything,

it's just marsh ground.

And, of course, common

sense would tell you

- that the water, you know, flows down to the...flows down to the sea.

- Yeah.

Common sense would tell anybody that,

so that's going to have to be rectified.

I'm not...

But, as I say,

I think Environmental Health is

the next port of call for them.

- But we'll just have to wait and

see what transpires today. - Uh-huh.

Who's in charge between

the two of you, gentlemen?

We're just here as individuals.

What are you here for?

That's no problem.

Um... Could I take a

note of your name, please?

- Why?

- Because there's been an alleged breach of the peace

up at the Menie Estate this morning.

Oh, God.

And, as such, we are making enquiries.

So could I have your name, please?

My name is Richard Phinney.

OK. And yourself, sir, could

I have your name, please?

Yeah, I'm Anthony Baxter.

'And then, he just became

more hostile and more hostile

'and lunged at you,

gave you no explanation.'

What we need to do now...

No, you do not!

You are being detained under Section 14

of the Criminal Procedures

Scotland Act 1995, do not...

- What's he done?

- Richard, can you grab that? Richard, grab the camera.

Let go of the camera.

Let go of the camera

before it gets damaged, sir.

'And then, the next thing I know,
