See what's going on under the surface of current eventsA commentary of opinions and views inspired by news and current affairs - mainly in St. Anne's and the fylde, but sometimes in the wider world.

Occasionally you will find information that others would prefer not to have publicised.

You might also come across controversy during your journey under the skin of current affairs.

Politically, you will probably find views to the right of Genghis Kahn and to the left of Arthur Scargill. One thing you won't find is "political correctness" so if you are easily offended in that area, it's time to leave.

The very hottest topics of the moment are:  

Snippets - July 2010  
A serendipity of news from and about FBC: including Kilnhouse by-election; New homeless hostel? Committees comeback? Parish council rethink; Changes in finance, and changes to Fylde's Constitution.

Tangled Web for Pensions  
An in-depth look at plans to change the RPI to the CPI for uprating. This is going to cost most people with (or due to get) an occupational pension.....

In High Places..... 
We report indirect contact with Saint Eric Pickles MP, and  reproduce the text of his speech to the LGA Conference. Change is coming....

Other hot topics can be found under latest, whilst recent has issues that are, well, recent. The archive is more or less what it says on the tin.


"If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."

John Stuart Mill
1806-1873
