Did you get to see the Hunter's Moon, Harvest Moon? This effect in a full moon happens when the moon appears to be especially big and bright. This illusion happens because when the Moon is at its Lunar Perigee, in other words, at its closest point in orbit to Earth

NEW SCAM... We have had several calls recently claiming to be from Solicitors acting on our behalf about a mortgage that's been taken out. They have our Editor's name & home address but oddly call the office. This is a scam trying to get staff to give out more personal details.

We do not want Sharia Law in the UK and no UK politician wants it. Again, Donald Trump is spouting out dangerous sentiments at the UN General Assembly today. Do we really need or want this type of political misinformation to be copied in the United Kingdom, like we have heard from Reform UK?
