Vance is almost equally awful.
Sadly America voted him in and you are stuck with him.

It is 101 years ago today since Emmanuel Merchant the great co-operator and philanthropist died and a year since our wonderful graveside rededication service 🙏🏼
I was so proud we renovated his grave and held a service attended by 70+ co-operators on a freezing cold day.

Rest in Peace President Jimmy Carter. A truly good man and a committed humanitarian.

It’s 11 years today since Michael Schumacher had the awful ski-ing accident that has left him paralysed - we don’t know full details as there’s no updates, no photos & only a handful of selected visitors who never disclose but he is believed to have brain damage.
An absolute tragedy.

Today at Central Co-op we cut the ribbon on the newly named Emmanuel Merchant room, named after a philanthropist co-operator who was General Manager of the former Derby Society and doubled it in size. We renovated his grave for the 100th anniversary of his death last January.
