See what's going on under the surface of current events

A 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:

Roseacre Inquiry Week 3 (Placeholder)

Roseacre Inquiry Week 2
The second week of the Roseacre Inquiry is now under way. We have the news from week 2....

Rubbish Accounting?
We look how councils are starting to raise money outside the Council Tax we pay, and, what's happening with green bins....

Roseacre Inquiry Week 1
The re-opened Roseacre Inquiry is now under way. We have the news from week 1....

Other hot topics can be found under latest. The archive is divided up into publication years (Jan-Dec) and 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
