Another fun addition for your feed!! Books from our very own library related to Banks and his area of expertise 🌱

Just to be clear folks, we wouldn't normally comment on a Nigel Farage post. However, we have had one account closed by Barclays and they are threatening to close another. Lots of small community groups and charities in the same position. Need to shout it out.
