Police search for Trump protester who breached no-fly zone
Source: Guardian
Police are continuing to search for a paragliding Greenpeace protester who broke through the no-fly zone surrounding Donald Trumps Turnberry golf resort on Friday evening, to fly past the US president as he entered the Scottish hotel.
Despite efforts to keep protesters away from the presidential party, the paraglider flew past police snipers and in front of the hotel, apparently in view of the president, trailing a banner reading Trump well below par.
Police Scotland said on Saturday morning that inquiries were ongoing to trace the person responsible as more protesters began to gather for a second day of demonstrations. By 8.30am, people were congregating by the police cordon around the resort carrying banners and placards, with thousands more expected to attend demonstrations across the country.
Greenpeace said it had alerted police to the protest minutes in advance. The spokesman Ben Stewart said: Theresa May should not have dignified Trump with a visit to the UK. The vast majority of British people are appalled by his words and deeds. He is, simply, the worst president ever. Thats why we flew over him with a message branding him well below par.
