Vote against The Donald? You're fired!

Tack this one up to your list of bad career moves.
The Scotsman who cast the deciding vote to preserve Scottish coastland rather than let The Donald build a golf course over its dunes found himself on the wrong end of another vote. See ya, Martin Ford...
Last night, Mr Ford reacted angrily to his dismissal, saying it sent out the "wrong message" about the integrity of the planning system. Mr Ford's deciding vote last month came at the end of a heated debate lasting two-and-a-half hours when the infrastructure committee rejected the application for the Trump International Golf Links after councillors were tied 7-7.It sent out a message all right. The Scottish government is getting involved, and I think money will deliver the message right where The Donald wants it to go.
