Now there's a thought.................!!!!! (One scheduled for Exeter (Flowerpot Playing Fields) this Sat (6th June) between 5pm and 7pm. Please wear face masks and obey social distancing requirements).
Just watching a PBS America series (last one on tomorrow night) concerning American Reconstruction after the American Civil War. Very informative about the history of black americans and white americans. No doubt though you'll be telling me that that source is also unreliable.

A major faux pas by Cummings more like.
All those visitors to North Devon happened after the lock down rules were relaxed (not that they should have been relaxed in the way that they were imho). Cummings' transgression took place when we were all (or so we thought) under much tighter lockdown. At the very best he bent the rules so far that they almost snapped. He is guilty as charged of breaking two rules at least. 1. Going ...
