Lead editorial in today's The Scotsman newspaper: A denunciation of Donald Trump

Donald Trump, due to arrive in the UK later today, is a racist, a serial liar, and either a sex abuser or someone who falsely brags about being one in the apparent belief that this will impress other men in a metaphorical locker room.
To take each of these charges in turn, when black American football players protested against police shootings of innocent people of colour by refusing to stand for the national anthem, Trump said the players maybe ... shouldnt be in the country.
And when white supremacists, neo-Nazis and armed militia groups demonstrated in Charlottesville, Virginia, over plans to remove a statue of a Confederate general and a counter-protester was killed and others injured as a car was driven deliberately into them Mr Trump claimed there were very fine people on both sides.
Trump persistently pushed the lie that Barack Obama, the first African American president, was not born in the US.

So, as British politicians hide their distaste in an attempt to get a much-needed post-Brexit trade deal, we should all remember what kind of man Trump really is.
