In what appears to be a well-coordinated effort, members of hard-right organizations demonstrate a show of force in southern England. It appears that the government of England is not as worried about this demonstration as when a group of pensioners brings out placards urging the country to not
I know we are technically still in summer, but I classify September in with the autumn months and I am tired of summer temperatures and summer storms. I guess I don't expect to be able to wear my favorite hoodies yet, but the heat, humidity, and nightly storms
