Martin Bell giving his talk to blind veterans from the North-East MARTIN Bell OBE hosted a private talk for a group of 20 blind veterans with an interest in military history, providing some much-needed entertainment as this period of self-isolation continues.

Democrats John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet are cheerfully influential in D.C., while defeated Republicans Scott Tipton and Corey Gardner sit gloomily on the sidelines. Joe Biden passes consequential legislation without GOP support, while the Man from Mar-a-Lago calls on his followers to get rid of GOP moderates.Â
