The Trump baby protest balloon will not be allowed to fly over the Turnberry golf course, police have said.

The balloon is due to fly above Parliament Square in central London on Friday, after campaigners crowdfunded £16,000 to pay for it and the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, gave permission for it to fly.

Then the protest team, including a number of trained balloon operators, will board the sleeper train to Glasgow with Trump Baby, and travel to Turnberry. They have already ordered sufficient helium to pick up en route to power the weekend’s activities.

But Police Scotland refused the request for it to be flown over the golf course.

Mark Williams, of Police Scotland, said: “Clearly there is a significant protection operation in place for the president and this includes restrictions to the airspace in the Turnberry area. We need to ensure there is a balance between protection and public safety and the public’s right to peacefully protest.

1. That balloon is now an Icon of the times and will endure far beyond the Trumps

He is the buffoon's buffoon balloon, a man-baby extraordinaire

2. I saw a video from Scotland about a year ago and was impressed.

The citizens are expert harassers. They know how to get under his skin...from denying him more property to build more of his crap on to following him around with a balloon to create static electricity electricity to make his hair-don't stand up straight. RESIST!

3. As a contingency, I'll settle for a cold, grey, and rainy Scottish day when he goes

out on the links.

4. Yeah, the Scots don't like him none at all. He forced the sale of homes to get the land

for his golf course, which blocks what had been a pristine view of the ocean with no buildings in front of it. They had a legal battle over it.

5. I Think We Need a Few Scattered Around the USA to Appear At All Trump Venues!

7. Fly it over Ailsa Craig and moor it.

Everybody on the course will see it.
