Headlines in The Dorset Echo today, (Thursday 17th.November), seem to suggest that that the base has been saved, however, not as a Coastguard Search and Rescue base, but as a private company that will inherit the facility for it's own ends. Here is my take on the whole episode:...

Oh, not MORE bleeding sport!

In response to LEISURE CENTRE NEEDS YOUR VOTE Sorry about this-but the article about some sports venture needing our vote really grinds my gears. I`m just sick of the time and attention given over to these vainglorious obsessives and the sheeple that follow it all.  Looked at in the right...

Who`s the Wagman?

Come on then-admit it. What wind-up artist up there in North Dorset chose to nominate IPACA on Portland as a Best  New Big Business 2016? My  "bird on the wire" out in BBC land, Echoplex tells me that a certain ILR here in the area are considering the claim...

When the referendum result came out on Friday you would have thought that the bad blood between the two camps would have cooled; and steady, competent leadership from Westminster would have steered us through our national crisis, out of Europe and into the unknown. Instead, the wet blanket in...
