Charter Signing.

Good to see a good turnout for the signing of the twinning charter on the little rec yesterday. Good also to see the display by the morris team, which I belive has one of our regulaR correspondants in its ranks. There was however, or so I have been told, some controversy about the flag that was flown alongside the Devon flag on the flagpole on the grounds that some people were not happy about a French flag being flown when the Queen had not been invited to a WW2 commememoration over the channel. The sort of people who object to ther flying of the Breton flag on these sort of grounds are doubtless the same sort of people who, in other parts of the world, start wars over football matches. The sad fact about the European union is that because of the way it has been run it has reinforced just this sort of petty nationalist crap amongst certain people which runs exactly counter to what its founders invisaged.
