Organization criticised for failing to meet promise of investing a billion pounds

The Trump Organization has submitted a $196 million (£150m) planning application to build more than 500 houses and new sports facilities at its Aberdeenshire golf resort.

President Trump’s family firm wants to build 500 houses, 50 hotel cottages and an equestrian center at Trump International Golf Links in Balmedie. The residential properties will range from £295,000 to several million.

The company has already been granted outline approval for the second phase of development at the course, which also include a sports facility and shops.

The first phase included a championship golf course, clubhouse and hotel. It attracted opposition from green campaigners and some locals, who wanted the area's protected sand dunes to remain free from development.

Anger grew last month when the Scottish government's environment watchdog, Scottish Natural Heritage, concluded the development had 'partially destroyed' the protected site.

However, a wind farm off the coast which was bitterly opposed by Mr Trump over fears it would spoil the views for golfers, is now up and generating electricity.

The Trump Organization said the latest phase would support nearly 2,000 jobs across Aberdeenshire during construction, and provide nearly 300 permanent jobs

Disney stars share their support for Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn as petition to re-instate him nears 300,000… but Roseanne Barr says she's 'disgusted'

Sean Gunn, Chris Pratt and Selma Blair have come out in defense of James Gunn

Guardians of the Galaxy director and co-writer wrote pedophile jokes on Twitter

Jokes were posted 10 years ago, and Gunn has apologized many times before

His brother Sean said the movies had made him a kinder, better person

A petition to have Gunn reinstated has nearly reached 300,000 signatures

Roseanne Barr, who was sacked from her TV show for a racist joke says she is 'disgusted' to see Gunn supported by the same people who fought for her firing

Disney stars, family members and fans have passionately stood up for Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn after he was ousted from the franchise.

Gunn was sacked when offensive tweets he posted a decade ago about pedophilia and rape were uncovered by the Daily Caller.

The 51-year-old had apologized for his past behavior long before the tweets were found, and did so again on Friday, telling fans he was now 'very different than I was a few years ago'.

And as the backlash continues, his colleagues are now gathering around him, encouraging people to sign a petition urging Marvel to reinstate him, telling stories about his positive attributes and in one case, sharing a bible verse about judging people too quickly.

Perhaps the most moving defense came from Gunn's brother Sean, who plays Kraglin in the franchise.

Praising his brother as 'kind, generous and compassionate' with friends, family colleagues, fans, and even strangers, he said James had always wanted to tell stories - and used many formats to find his voice.

'The struggle to find that voice was sometimes clunky, misguided, or downright stupid, and sometimes wonderful, moving, and hilarious,' he said.

'Since devoting his entire life to the Guardians movies and MCU six years ago, I've seen him channel that voice into his work on those movies and seen him transform from the guy who made up things to shock people.

'I saw firsthand as he went from worrying about "softening his edge" for a larger audience to realizing that his "edge" wasn't as useful of a tool as he thought it was. That his gift for storytelling was something better.

Since then, the director and writer has enjoyed masses of support, with a petition demanding he be reinstated as director hitting nearly 300,000 in just four days.

Former television star Roseanne Barr is one person who has not joined the bandwagon, sharing her 'disgust' at people supporting Gunn while they fought for her to lose her eponymous show.

'I’m disgusted to read all of the support for James Gunn’s pedophile jokes - as the same people supported blacklisting me for a joke they didn’t even understand,' she wrote.
