Hundreds of activists from all over Britain are planning to stage a raucous protest against the tycoon's controversial policies when he visits his Turnberry golf resort in Ayrshire. His campaign has been marred by clashes between protesters and members of Mr Trump's private security force, who have been filming protesters and removing any "offensive" signs or banners. Ian Yexley, chairman of the Specialist Services Section of the British Security Industry Association, said they would have to abandon such heavy-handed tactics - or face arrest themselves.

He said: "It's pretty different here, the way we operate it's got to be kid gloves with everything. “Everyone knows their rights and they could come up against problems if they act in that way. "If they take signs off people it could be put down as theft, criminal damage or assault.

“Any offensive signs would would have to be dealt with by the police under breach of the peace legislation. "I'd expect the security detail to meet with local police for sure to agree what is acceptable and what's not. "Everybody will be videoing everybody else, the police use cameras and the protesters will as well. “The protesters will be delighted if they can provoke a reaction.

“It is probably going to be pretty lively because he has certainly caused controversy."

We could end up with one or two of people arrested from either side Ian Yexley

He added: "In this country, if you lose your licence you lose your livelihood but clearly his detail will not have the same regard for our laws as we would. “It's very different over there and they are a lot harder in their response so it will be interesting to see what the briefing is from the Scottish police. “We could end up with one or two of people arrested from either side."

Donald Trump's most bizarre and uncomfortably awkward quotes Tue, November 8, 2016 Donald Trump business mogul turned political candidate is well known for his off the wall and often offensive quotes; here are some of his most mind boggling quotes from over the years. Play slideshow AFP/Getty Images 1 of 31 A recording of Donald Trump emerged during his campaign of him boasting back in 2005 “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.” He then went on to say “Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Mr Yexley is the CEO of UniTrust Protection Services, which has provided security for visiting heads of state, celebrities, business executives and Middle Eastern royalty. He said Turnberry's famously isolated location would prove a challenge for both protesters and police, explaining: "It's an unusual location but it's probably tougher in many ways, it's a huge wide area to try and cover. “The police will set aside an area and say we will allow you to protest here with your signs and your chants but that's the line. "The tough bit is getting the protesters to behave. It's more difficult if you get thousands of people turning up so the police will be praying for rain."

The activists also appear to be confused over the exact date of their protest - Turnberry's grand opening after a multi-million revamp is on Friday but Mr Trump has said on Twitter he will visit on Wednesday. Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks has previously defended the policy of removing "signs laced with profanity", saying "that kind of language is not acceptable for the families and television cameras in attendance". Among those planning to descend on the tiny Ayrshire village are veteran Scottish Resistance rabble-rousers Sean Clerkin, James Scott and Piers Doughty-Brown. Doughty-Brown and Scott were suspended by the SNP last year after former Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy and comedian Eddie Izzard came under attack in Glasgow.
