i understand that, sir rocco... not helping the health of their nation by getting poorer, and we're facing possibly a massive depression. i understand your — i understand your concern for your workers and for the state of the overall economy. but when you said just a short time ago the lockdown is an expensive and potentially deadly overreaction, which should be brought to an end as soon as possible, i'm inclined to think, what on earth are you doing intervening in what is surely a debate to be had between epidemiologists, biologists, scientists and politicians? i mean, do you really believe that you have the knowledge to say that the lockdown is an overreaction? you know, obviously i'm not a scientist and i'm not an expert, although the scientists seem to disagree quite considerably, and views have changed since the beginning of the crisis. it is... the virus, it now seems, is not as deadly as people thought. and a lot of studies, particularly the stanford university study, which is a very accurate one and is based

but if i may say so, sir rocco, iam should be handled -- tegnell.sir rocco, i am glad you saw that interview, because what we have seen in the last week, with the latest week of coronavirus data from around the world, is that experts believe that in the past week, sweden has had the highest per capita infection rate in the world. sweden, of course, being the country which decided against imposing a lockdown. doesn't that give you pause for thought? i don't know. i haven't seen those figures, so it is very difficult for me to comment on them. but i mean, the head of the space agency in israel, who is a general and mathematics professor, carried out a survey across the world, and he found that the virus followed the same course whatever actions government had taken. it sort of tended to peak around a0 days and then tail off between 70 and 90 days. so we are at a stage now, across europe, where the infection rate is at a very low level, where deaths have, thank god, moved to very low levels as well. and i think there is an opportunity to open up econom

invented many of the sounds but also i think perhaps more importantly invented stances when we talk about rocco we need music but we also mean something more and that's a ball sort of spirit and the spirit of rock will it sort of disregarding the rules of freedom and he embodied all of that. without being too blunt how important was it that he was like again the 1950s american rock'n'roll. thinking highly buddy holly elvis presley it was a very white saying and then comes little richard well sure enough and the original and the stars themselves would acknowledge elvis presley would acknowledge but the hollywood knowledge the roots of the music in truth were black they came from black traditions and black artists you know i mean what else is with well before that it was a little more comedy combined black music with country music even country music was rooted in going to american tradition so you know. literature also by the fact that rock was originally black american music that is in dispute the music came from and he was understandably adamant that people didn't understand. ever resenting som

redpath assumption represent a commonly held picked rocco view. yet narrative sources, legal and financial documents and military and government correspondence make it clear that white southern women new the most obnoxious features of slavery all too well slave owning women not only witnessed the most butyl -- brutal features of slavery, they took part in them, profited from them, and defended them. after hearing what james redpath said about white women's relationship to slavery, might think that white women were invisible and southern slave markets. they are notably absent from this painting from 1854, which depicts a very public slave auction in the city of charleston, south carolina. or, we might think of them as distance from the horrors of the market, from the sales. but also from the traumatic separation that came after those sales were finalized. we might think that white women and their children were merely passive observers of all of this. and more profoundly that they were powerless to stop these hard enter medic separations, like what
