Four days of roofers and cleaning up everyone’s vomit. UGH. There is no end in sight.
Downton Abbey had better be good tonight. No more of this “tidily cleaning up all those loose ends so that everyone can be brilliantly happy.”

Amina is one of over ten thousand men and women who have been detained and tortured in the last few months just for calling for democracy. Security forces have shot dead over one...
