One more building block to fit into their foundation of one world order if these pass. What times we live in! Looking forward to a time when the only “King” or “Ruler” is God Almighty our loving creator! I appreciate the persistence in continuing the good work needed to maintain a balanced, righteous, peace-loving nation (and world!). God bless us all and help us to remain humble and compassionate with a quiet, never-ending strength to overcome the forces of evil. Reply 1 month ago

Drivers could face fines for non essential journeys after snow and ice led to a series of accidents.
Police have urged drivers to take extra care on the roads and only travel if absolutely necessary after parts of the region saw snowfall of up to two to three centimetres on Saturday morning, with more forecast.
With heavy snowfall in parts of the county, before travelling ask yourself do I need to make this trip ? So far today we ve had 18 reports of collisions and any unnecessary travel risks burdening already stretched emergency services even more.
