UK Home Secretary Amber Rudd Resigns Over Immigration Scandal, CNN, April 30, 2018.

Rudd resigned Sunday amid a growing scandal over the government's mistreatment of the so-called "Windrush generation," men and women from the Caribbean who arrived in Britain in the 1950s and 60s, but in recent years have been declared illegal immigrants despite having lived in the country for decades.

She becomes the fourth high-ranking minister to resign from May's government in the past six months. It puts further pressure on May, already struggling to maintain government unity over faltering Brexit talks.

That is where I am from. I live in Boston now and have lived in NYC and SF, but I am originally from a town very close to Rome.

Check Wikipedia!

FYI: The Simpsons were first seen on the The Tracy Ullman Show in USA in late ‘80s

That is where The Simpsons got their start

Go with me on this one!

And the Simpsons ended up spinning off from the shorts they had on her show. Tracy Ullman is a phenomena, she does these impersonations so well, she's a great writer and actress, wish we had access to more of her comedy. I learned about her from her show back in the day.
