These are very difficult questions and there are very few genuinely enlightened people because of the whitewashing of Hollywood and the fact that over the years most successful actors had to change their names in order to succeed. The weather of the UK is the best of anywhere in the world. Nobody is claiming anybody's job. I checked some pictures and it looks sooo beautiful! The Weather There are a lot of benefits to having so much rain in the UK. Perhaps, the main reason I loved these, was because we were all like-minded young individuals, who dreamt of a true democratic UK which had the Labour party at the core.
