Several hundred demonstrators gathered for a third day outside the Lindsey Oil Refinery plant following a walk-out by contractors on Wednesday, but the unofficial action spread to other parts of the UK, including Scotland and Wales.

About 700 employees at the Ineos-owned Grangemouth plant on the Firth of Forth have begun an unofficial strike with fellow energy workers at the Total Lindsey Oil Refinery on the North Lincolnshire coast.

Yesterday Longannet Power Station in Fife suffered a mass walk-out in another unofficial move. BP’s Dimlington gas terminal in East Yorkshire and its chemical manufacturing plant in Saltend, Hull were also hit.

Staff at the Lindsey refinery originally began their strike on Wednesday to protest at Total’s decision to award a £200 million construction contract to Italian firm Irem, using foreign labour.

The refinery covers 500 acres and is the third largest in the UK, processing 10 million tonnes of crude per year – 200,000 barrels per day.

It is believed that 100 Italian and Portuguese workers are on the site. They are to be joined by 300 more next month.

Protesters at the Lindsey refinery have made reference to the slogan churned out in 2007 by the Prime Minister Gordon Brown to back up the guarantee that he made last year of a “British job to every British worker” It seems to be British jobs for foreign workers. As one of the British workers said “We have the skills and the people to do this work in this country, why do we need to import foreign workers.

Bobby Buirds, a regional officer for the union Unite in Scotland, said the workers at Grangemouth were striking to protect British jobs.”The argument is not against foreign workers, it’s against foreign companies discriminating against British labour. If the job of these mechanical contractors at INEOS finishes and they try and get jobs down south, the jobs are already occupied by foreign labour and their opportunities are decreasing. This is a fight for work. It is a fight for the right to work in our own country. It is not a racist argument at all.”

Oh really Mr. Buirds! Well why is it that your union Unite in Scotland march against the British National Party, and deem us all to be racists’ for having such views? Why is it ok for you and your fellow left wing anarchists/unions to make the same statement we have been saying for years, and expect it to be fine but condemn a legitimate political party for holding the same view?

Clear to see that you must be in favor of the British National Party stance on this issue or are you just appeasing the workforce.

At the last count a total of 3.7m foreign workers – termed as non-UK born employees – had jobs in Britain. This total had grown by about 1.4m in the past ten years, according to official estimates.This meant that last year more than one in ten jobs in the UK (12.5 per cent) were filled by someone from overseas.

Figures are based on government estimates related to the Labour Force Survey. They are estimates, and cannot be seen as an entirely accurate assessment of precise numbers.

Good luck to all on the picket lines, good to see not all have surrendered their free will and rolled over.

The rejection of the SNP’s £33 million Budget Bill by Holyrood has once again caused Alex Salmond to stamp his foot in a huff and threaten to resign.
If the opposition parties had any backbone they would take him at his word and throw out the revised bill and then throw out the minority SNP Executive along with it.
This administration has constantly failed to deliver on its manifesto promises and is driven solely by its desire to break up the Union.
Even after it was announced that Scotland’s economy has come to a shuddering halt having performed worse than the UK’s in the third quarter of last year, new figures showing that Scotland’s gross domestic product fell by more than that for the UK as a whole, Alex Salmond still insists that Scotland would be better off standing alone, just like Iceland maybe?
And how is Scotland to recover, well Salmond says he has organised the homecoming events that will boost the economy this year, and introduce another wave of immigrants to the benefits of living here no doubt.
It is becoming ever clearer that the mainstream parties have failed Britain, failed in the past, failing in the present, and doomed to fail in the future.
It is now time for the peoples of Britain to take back control of their destiny, to restore hope and secure a future for all our children, no longer should the question be why are you voting BNP, but rather, why are you not!

Debbie McKnight

The first official meeting of South of Scotland BNP took place on Burns night in Dumfries; the meeting was opened by our Dumfries contact William McGeary who introduced the new South organiser, Joseph Gibson.

First speaker was Cumbria branch organiser Alistair Barbour who told the audience how close the BNP have come to winning seats in recent English local elections, losing out by just 16 votes in Whitehaven, and how this can be repeated in Dumfries.

The second speaker was Elizabeth Parker who gave an informative talk about Corpus Juris which will have an effect on British Common Law by the European Union (EU) having rights to arrest and detain British citizens on British soil.

After a short break Joseph Gibson as the third speaker discussed the effects of Multiculturalism within England from 40 years ago and the threat that it now imposes on Scotland, especially Dumfries, followed up by how we have to make a stand now to help save our local traditions from this onslaught.

The next speaker was Charlie Baillie Glasgow & West BNP organiser, who Spoke about how the SNP wish to make Scotland a multicultural state while using their Nationalist image & Independent stance to fool many pro-Scots to vote for them, and the SNP’s intentions to make Scotland a subordinate of the EU, as it was Burns night Charlie finished with part of one of the Scottish bards poems, not one of Alex Salmonds favourites I would think!

“O let us not, like snarling curs, in wrangling be divided, Till, slap! come in an unco loun, And wi’ a rung decide it! Be Britain still to Britain true, amang ourselves united;
For never but by British hands maun British wrangs be righted! No! never but by British hands Shall British wrangs be righted!”

The fifth and final speaker to be introduced to the audience was our prospective lead candidate for the EU elections and member of the newly formed cyber activity team, Debbie McKnight who gave a short talk on why she had joined the BNP along with her views on the EU.

This was a well-attended meeting with a full programme of speakers that resulted in some members offering future help to Joseph in getting the BNP firmly established in the South of Scotland.

Following successful weekends this month held in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, BNP activists will be out in force in the Highlands this weekend visiting Elgin and Inverness carrying on our Euro campaign.

This campaign is the most intense the BNP have ever staged in Scotland, with meetings planned across the country as well as ‘special’ events. We hope to cash in on the recent publicity from the leaked list fiasco, which led to the raising of our profile, and let every voter know that on June 4th they can vote for the only real alternative, Scotland’s true nationalists the British National Party.

We will also be contesting a local council by-election to be announced soon, watch this space!

The general public are now more than aware of the BNP in Scotland at one point police moved a crowd along from one group of activists as the numbers were blocking up the walk way!

This change in awareness is startling, more papers were sold than in any previous outing in Aberdeen, even though it was a very cold day all went home with much warmer hearts looking forward to their next outing.

Northeast organiser, Roy Jones, would like to thank the ‘ flying leaflet team ’ for all their help, if this sort of reception is to be found in other Scottish cities it really will be the year of the BNP.

Morag Alexander, Scotland’s Equality and Human Rights Commision commissioner, called for a national debate on what needs to be done to encourage people to settle in Scotland. She is asking for conditions to overcome barriers to employment for new migrants, including speedier recognition of qualifications and better access to English language classes.

How absolutely absurd. At a time when Scots are losing their jobs in their thousands and joining the thousands already in the dole queues, she is canvassing for new migrants to come to Scotland and fill jobs. What jobs? Are Scots expected to compete with foreigners for Scots’ jobs?

English language classes. More taxpayers’ money doled out and squandered on foreigners when the indigenous are choosing, eat or heat. How obscene.

And she throws in – ‘‘ONE-THIRD OF BIRTHS IN SCOTLAND ARE TO EASTERN EUROPEAN MOTHERS’’. Yes. One third (not counting the other foreign births) of births in Scotland are not Scots.

What’s the matter with the Scots? Don’t they know what’s going on and coming in? Maybe they just don’t care. Maybe they have given up. For years we’ve been told we need foreigners run our country for us. Of how we need foreigners to give birth to keep up our population. Who can forget the insulting images of African asylum seekers holding banners, telling us, the Scots, they are our lifeblood. Scrounging African asylum seekers, living off us all free for years and telling us how we need them to save us. It’s obscene.

Any Scots out there – anybody who cares – any Scot with an answer or suggestions – Scotland at the invitation of the Scottish Government(s) is becoming the world’s dumping ground and back door entry into England for the world’s scrounging wandering nomadic immigrants.

*Her salary, expense account, pension, perks, car et al will be paid from the £5,625,236 funding awarded by the Scottish Government out of Scot’s wage packets in exchange for bringing new migrants to Scotland.

Northeast Scotland BNP held its first meeting of 2009 last night at a central Aberdeen location.
Roy Jones opened the meeting welcoming old and new faces and went on to explain what the region has been up to and planned events coming up.
Roy introduced the new organiser for the South of Scotland, Joseph Gibson, who had travelled up from Ayrshire to meet some of his fellow officials, we predict a big future in the BNP for this young man, it is after all the youth that will carry on the work we are doing now!

A discussion was then had on the proposed mosque for Aberdeen and the action the BNP should take.
Next up was Scottish leader, Gary Raikes who gave a summing up of how things stand in Scotland since the restructuring, and gave a report on the EU election campaign that started this weekend with paper sales in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Gary went on to warn that the dirty tricks campaign being waged against the BNP will certainly increase as the election date gets closer and to be on our guard for people spreading bad news that aims to undermine the leadership and lower morale of the party, he went on to say that the BNP is in the best shape it has ever been and on course to win seats in the coming election which will finally breach the dam but every member has to do their bit in promoting the party at every chance they get.

After a short break a general discussion took place on the ramifications of the leaked membership list, one example was a brand new member attending the meeting who joined as a direct result of the treatment BNP members received from the media and their lackeys, although distressing to many and especial to Stewart who informed the meeting of the death threats he and his family had received it was agreed that on the whole it had actually been beneficial to the party in Scotland and raised our profile across the country.

The meeting closed with a passionate speech from Roy Jones who assured all present that BNP Scotland officials would continue the struggle no matter what was thrown at them that we are all in this until the very end that this is our country and we intend to fight for it.

BNP Activists took up position alongside the magnificent statue of Wellington at Register House, topped by the Union flag, as was the North British hotel and other adjacent buildings of grandeur in our Capital city!
It was bitterly cold with a clear sunny sky puffing billowy clouds from a stiff breeze.
The team had a great day in Princes St with some surprisingly good banter from the lefties whom were a great deal more civilised than most we come across.
Members of the public engaged with us in a friendly and interested manner even the beat constables were happy chatting to us!
With our leaflets all dispensed, we retreated into the warmth of a cosy cafe to reflect on the humorous side to the days activism which Max, Robert and Charlie look forward to continuing, throughout the Euro campaign!

At the same time our Glasgow and West team confirmed an equally beneficial day on their first campaign outing.
BNP Scotland has as its goal 40 locations in Glasgow plus seven Cities in Scotland to hold papersales and spread our message in during the 21 weeks projection for the EU campaign.
The Truth truck is also being planned to help and everyone is looking forward to this initiative.

The following was a comment posted over on the main site, it deserves to be a post in its own right, thanks ’sendemback’.

Here’s a sample of that which the Scottish people will get from Alex Salmond and the Scottish Government. This is how they intend to fund the influx of immigrants to Scotland (mostly Glasgow) and here’s how our taxes are being squandered on immigrants and their money-guzzling support groups whilst our own people are being shafted.

Sorry for the lack of posts but we are having computer problems which we hope to resolve asap

We, the Scottish people are natural nationalists. We have that fire in the pit of stomach, fuelled by the blood in our veins. We have not had a true nationalist rule for several hundred years, threfore when something is put before us that we are told resembles a modern interpretation of nationalism that is engineered to integrate with the current internationalist climate, whilst remaining ultimately nationalist, we fall for it.

Ergo, the Scottish National (National remember, not nationalist) Party make great gains. The oil argument along with the independance argument is utter nonsense, and nothing but a smoke screen.

As a comrade stated, Scotlands oil wealth would be kept in the EU’s current account and would be distributed throughout the other diseased ’states’. It’s true, it is a disgrace that Scotland’s oil resources have been largely sold off to the highest (or most grovelling) bidder outwith our islands, but surely it would be far mor beneficial to Scotland itself to be self-suficient? Salmond cannot realistically expect to reap the ‘rewards’ of EU membership while desperately bear hugging his oil! The EC simply won’t stand for it.

As for the SNP’s quite insulting attempts at nationalist seperatism, how you can call what is in reality only a seperation from England independance is astonishing, and how the great, strong and historically honourable people of Scotland are ot making this deduction is due to the fact they have been educated to avoid any leanings toward true nationalistic thought – another story which i shan’t get into here.

Scotland has given the world the jewels of human advancement – adhesive postage stamps, anaesthetics, antisepsis, advertising films, bakelite/damard, latent heat, Brownian Movement (botany), Buick, Colloid Chemistry, Pneumatic Tyres, Chemical Bonds, cure for scurvy, the decimal point, encylopaedia Britannica, fax machines, animal cloning, flailing machines, geosciences, golf, historical novels, hypodermic syringes, iron bridges, the kelvin scale (temperature), logarithms, Maxwell’s equations in Electromagnetism, Marmalade, MacIntosh Raincoat’s, Tarmac, Microwave Ovens (consequence of magnetron), penicillin, postcards, parafin, hollow-pipe drainage, Peter Pan, Radar Defense System, Refirgerators, Planet Neptune, Quinine, Steam Engine, Solitons, cure for Insomnia, Steam Hammer, Saki (Hector Hugh Munro), Stereotype (printing), Sulphuric Acid, Telephone, Television, Thermos flasks, Telegraph, tubular steel, Sociology (not the PC fakery that is tought now), breech-loading rifle, Sherlock Holmes, Long John Silver, Jekyll and Hyde, Auld Lang Syne, Paeleobiology, Polarization of Light, Whisky, the US Navy, the Chilean Navy, the cloud chamber, flushing toilet, the bicycle, Insulin, the lorry, canal design, dock designcrane design, lighthouse design, coal-gas light, wave-powered electricity generator, steamboat, steamship paddle wheel, wire rope, hot blat oven, cordite, the Post Office, the mail-van service, universal standard time, teleprinter, first book translated into a foreign language from English, first coour newspaper ad, gregorian telescope, pyroscope, atometer, athrioscope, hypnosis, identificationof the nucleus in cells, criminal fingerprinting, ultrasound scanner, MRI scanner, seismometer, chloroform, mountaineering, curling, shinty, basketball, typhoid vacine, tuberculosis treatment, beta blockers, piano with footpedals, kalaedoscope, modern lawnmower, Bovril, Lime cordial, the fountain pen and there are many, many more.

But the point is, why dilute this obvious native ‘genius-gene’? By perpetuating the violent influx of foreign people to the Scottish shores the seeds are sown for the destruction of the Scottish people as an idigenous and wholley unique race of the human species. This level of capability within the small Scottish populace was reached over the centuries as a result of the evolution of the coming-together of a at least 3 of the advanced Western/Central European stock – the Celt, the Pict and the Germanic from Europe.

The death of all this human advancement in Scotland is just around the corner if the people are not made aware of this subtle form of mass genocide.

With our dwindling birth rate, increasing death rate (for which this liberal government are directly responsible – let us not forget that) this genocide may speed up to the point where it overtakes the current rate of substitution in England and other noble parts of European nations. This is a VERY DANGEROUS and CATACLYSMIC situation which is being ignored atthe peril of the Scottish people.

LET US NOT STAND BY AND WATCH SCOTLAND DIE.

With the New Year just a few days old the BNP in Scotland have started their EU campaign. This week saw the first meeting of Glasgow and West BNP who saw an increase in numbers attending, next week Northeast Scotland BNP will be holding their first meeting of the year swiftly followed by South of Scotland BNP.
Paper sales have been organised for Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Lockerbie this month.
The truth truck will be at two of these venues followed by a mini tour of Scotland leading up to BNP Scotland’s big EU election meeting in March.

Next month we hope to have paper sales in Inverness, Stirling and Perth. The Scottish Office are in the process of sending out letters to every member, these will include a complete update of last years restructuring, an invite to the big meeting, leaflets and fund raising letter for the EU election.

Last year was a hectic time for those involved in the restructuring, much work being done behind the scenes to put the infrastructure together that will enable us to fight coming elections. In this time of dirty tricks and intimidation brave members have stood tall and refused to be bowed by left wing thugs as well as the establishments recent antics, we are all, every official, as one in our continuing commitment to the BNP here in Scotland.

The question to ask yourself is this, “What are you willing to do in 2009? Sit on the sidelines or join your countrymen in their struggle”.

We are ready to break into the mainstream of British politics and bring commonsense and decency to a corrupt failing system, to restore hope and pride in our people.
We can not, must not, fail due to apathy caused by years of liberalism pc brainwashing, the people have to awaken, the lions roar must shake both Parliaments to their very foundations here in Holyrood as well as Westminster, the cry must go up from Scotland England Ireland and Wales, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK!

Support, Join, Vote BNP

Alex Salmond – leader of the SNP – has revealed his party’s stance on the EU. THAT JOINING THE EURO AND ABANDONING THE POUND WILL BE A VOTE WINNER IN HIS BATTLE FOR SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE!

On Spanish television, Mr Salmond revealed that the “Sterling is sinking like a stone” and said there is a “strong argument for making the switch” to the Euro having previously insisted that an independent Scotland would keep the pound!

Speaking on behalf of the people of Scotland, Mr Salmond questioned who was responsible for the recession that the country is in and whether more could be done to help them if major economic decisions were made in Scotland rather than Westminster! He then elaborated by saying “And I think the argument for having strong fiscal powers, powers over revenue, powers to expand the economy within a monetary context, within a European Euro context, will prove to be a very strong one for the people of Scotland – as you know, we’re in Sterling and Sterling is sinking like a stone. It’s now about at parity with the Euro”.

If that was not bad enough, at another TV interview leader of the SNP said “We need also in my view to be in a framework for monetary policy, a European framework, which we’re not in at the present moment, to have the best chances”

The First Minister’s senior special adviser said the SNP had “always recognised the benefits of Euro membership”, subject to consent being given in a referendum. REFERENDUM? Now where have we heard that one before?

Scotland BNP recently reported on the fact that SNP MSP Willie Coffey says that Scotland’s shops, pubs and restaurants should accept the Euro as it “would make life easier for visitors attending the Homecoming celebrations” MORE LIES FROM THE SNP!

It is now time for the SNP to come out and tell the REAL TRUTH about the plans they have for Scotland.

The only party to want REAL INDEPENDENCE for the WHOLE OF THE UK is the British National Party. Since the UK has ratified the Lisbon Treaty, 80% of laws in the UK are made in Brussels NOT THE UK!

And what of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP)? The party that only seems to come out of the woodwork when there are Euro elections and disappear when they are finished. What have UKIP done on their policies of opposing the Euro, the re-establishment of our independence and exposing fraud for the British People.

If joining of the Euro is such a “vote winner” in the battle for Scottish independence, why is it that a BBC poll published last week found 71 per cent of people would vote against joining the Euro if it were put to a referendum? Only 23 per cent would support the move, while six per cent were unsure. Could it be that yet another political party i.e. SNP are out of touch with voters? Like every other party bar one, the clue to the true party of this beautiful land is, your reading their website.

A group calling it self ‘Concerned citizens against Fascism’ have launched an unbelievable attack in Glasgow against a decent law abiding family man.

In a move more akin to Nazi Germany, leaflets informing people that their neighbour is a member of the BNP have been dropping through letterboxes.

The leaflet states without a hint of irony that “communities in which these Fascists live are made aware of their presence” what will these deluded fools want next? BNP members made to wear yellow stars perhaps? Do they not see that by their actions they are guilty of incitement to violence? That by printing the name and address of members that they admit have been taken from the stolen membership list they are also breaking the law? That by trying to stifle the voice and intimidate members of a completely legal decent political party that happens to disagree with their ideology that it is they that are Fascist?

Well if they don’t the police certainly do and when this matter was reported to them stated that they were “quite confident” that the person/persons responsible will be arrested, a copy of the leaflet has also been sent to the fight back team for future legal action.

British National Party Glasgow & West Branch

SNP MSP Willie Coffey says that Scotland’s shops, pubs and restaurants should accept the Euro as it “would make life easier for visitors attending the Homecoming celebrations”

Already some historic Scotland Sites already accept the Euro such as Edinburgh Castle but most other tourist attractions and businesses are reluctant to accept the Euro and only accept Sterling.

SNP member Mr Coffey, the MSP for Kilmarnock and Loudoun, said Homecoming 2009 (in which the poster was deemed ’too white’ and an Asian man was airbrushed in) would attract many thousands of extra visitors to Scotland.

He added, “Homecoming year will be a fantastic opportunity for Scotland to welcome the world. However, at present, few retail and tourist businesses accept other currencies, with banking delays and extra charges among the reasons.

“To make life easier for our visitors, I would encourage retailers, restaurants, shops and pubs to look at their arrangements for accepting the Euro.

“Accepting payments in foreign currencies is already used by Historic Scotland and common in Northern Ireland and London where customers with Euro notes do not have to exchange them for Sterling in order to shop.”

Mr Coffey called on banks to work with the retail and tourist sectors to help them improve their capacity for trading in the Euro.

“The message that Scotland is open for Euro business would be warmly received by visitors from Eurozone countries and by many others for whom Scotland will be one stop in a wider European trip”, he added.

Just for foreign tourists so they can shop here easier, right? Sure, it is not softening us up for joining the EU. In an interview on the politics show a few years ago, Alex Salmond discussed the issue of EU membership if Scotland gained independence from the UK and the likeness between the UK and Belgium.

ALEX SALMOND: Now in terms of the case of Scotland of course, which is of some interest to us, there are certain differences. I mean Scotland is part of a country by an international treaty, the Treaty of 1707.

If that Treaty were dissolved then the two parts, the two succeeding states, would have the same rights with regard to each other and indeed with the rest of Europe. They would inherit the Treaty obligations that the United Kingdom signed in our name. Therefore, we would have to negotiate representation that would do so from within the context of the European Union.

JON SOPEL: But you heard Jean-Luc Dehaene there, a grand old man of European politics and Belgium himself, issuing a warning shot saying, it is not just going to be that easy. We do not want to encourage nationalist groups to go their own way.

ALEX SALMOND: Yes, and we’ve heard, the people over the years have looked at this right the Secretary General of the European Commission, Emile Noel, twenty five years who said look, Scotland is part of the European Union, that would be the context. This year Eamonn Gallagher a former Director General of the European Commission, looking at the Scottish case and of course Scotland would be part of Europe, and nobody seriously believes that whatever the future of the communities of Belgium, that they would ever be out with the European Union and so it would be for Scotland. Incidentally, whatever happened, the case of Scotland would be identical to the case of the rest of the UK, so you know, if anybody in the BBC wants to suggest that Scotland would be shoved outside Europe, then I am afraid, England would be shoved outside as well. Neither of these things are going to happen.

Funnily enough, what the SNP have yet to divulge to the public is that IF Scotland ever became ‘independent’ (which has been put on the back burner because of the recession) the Bank of England would still look after finances until Scotland joined the EU.

It seems with the current government, Scotland is destined to join the EU whether alone or with the rest of the UK.

So there you have it people, if you crave your Independence from the rest of the UK and feel life will be a bundle of joy then I am afraid you are somewhat seriously mistaken! Only one party offers us a way out from the EU strangle hold and that party is the British National Party, we say no to the EU and full withdrawal when elected.

As a further example to drive home this message of the EU, YOU are paying for it from your tax in your wage packet, it costs the average taxpayer £2000 per year is there not something you would rather that cash be spent on? Rather than it going to Romania, Bulgaria, Spain and France? Just to name but a few.

This may not sound a lot but when you add the tax of everyone in Britain together, it works out as follows,

In 2008 the EU cost the British Tax Payer, £106,117 per minute, £6.365m per hour, £152.8m per day, £1.073bn per week, £4.647bn per month and finally £55.775bn per year. Surely, this money would be better spent on rebuilding our own economy at home and end this recession we find ourselves in due to the mismanagement of the government.

After Aberdeenshire Council refused planning application for Donald Trumph’s billion-pound golf course bid, the Scottish government spent £147,802 – of taxpayer’s money – looking at the planning application. The SNP overturned Aberdeenshire Councils decision so that he could build “the world’s greatest golf course”, complete with high-rise timeshare flats and eight-storey hotel, on a rare and ecologically sensitive stretch of dunes overlooking the North Sea.

Figures obtained under freedom of information laws have revealed that the planning application cost taxpayers £147,802.

That covers the period from December 4, 2007, when the application was called in, to October 15 last year, when finance secretary John Swinney was handed the report on the project.

Aberdeenshire councillor Martin Ford, whose casting vote rejected the scheme, hit out yesterday.

He said, “I don’t think many people realised the government had the power to call in an application once it had been refused and I don’t think they should have that power.”

But if all does not go to Mr Trump’s plan’s, Scotland may have to fork out some more of taxpayers money as seen in America where Donald Trump is suing a small town for $100 million for thwarting his effort to maintain his golf course to keep it in touch with the “Trump image.”

In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles, Trump accuses Rancho Palos Verde, the town where he built his golf course six years ago, of requiring unnecessary standards for development.

He alleges the city’s officials of fraud and violation of federal equal protection rights, among other accusations.

This is not the first time Trump has had a legal run-in with the town. He also sued them over a parcel of land that belonged to a local school and his right to plant trees to block “eyesore” homes from the golf course’s sight.
