We spent a lovely day in Bourton-on-the-Water last week. Truly sorry we missed all the excitement.

This is why it was such brilliant strategy to hold #NoKings rallies across the country, in neighborhoods and small towns as well as big cities. If Fox viewers didn't see the crowds in person, they might not know they existed.
