"An Aberdeenshire councillor is facing a reprimand for giving a television interview on council premises about Donald Trump’s controversial golf resort. The Green councillor, Martin Ford, believes he is being punished for being critical of the US property tycoon and his plans for the Menie estate on the northeast coast. He accuses the council leadership, which backs Trump, of trying to control interactions between councillors and the media. “This is not North Korea,” he told the Sunday Herald. “The notion that the council authorities should get to decide which councillors can speak to which journalists is absurd - and dangerous.”
