Weird blog action
Saturday, March 20th, 2010For some reason this rarely updated blog has been down for the past couple of weeks following a server move. The old google analytics shows that it fell off a cliff about three weeks ago.
For a variety of reasons I’ve not even looked at this blog for about a month, so it completely passed [...]
Welcome “Tales from the West Lands”
Monday, October 5th, 2009Alan Bullen, who was West Lancs Labour Group leader for nearly twenty years until standing down a few years ago, has started his own blog – “Tales from the West Lands“.
Alan, as a Councillor, was one of the few who could raise a smile in both the Labour and Conservative ranks, and I expect that [...]
Normal service will resume… erm, soon?
Monday, August 3rd, 2009Apologies to the handful of people who usually take a look at this site. I’ve been busy earning a crust, sleeping a lot and getting a year older.

That’s not very “blogging hard” at all. That’s more [...]
Never enough time…
Thursday, March 19th, 2009What with being out canvassing straight after work and then the occasional meeting afterward, I’ve not really had a chance to post anything here.
It was said recently that a politician who didn’t have time to blog or twitter is like the politician who doesn’t have time to make a speech. I think that there [...]
Welcome back David Sudworth
Friday, February 27th, 2009Just noticed that David Sudworth has started blogging on local political issues again here.
It will be interesting to see how his blog unfolds over the next twelve months or so. There are so few contributions to the blogosphere in West Lancs. Paul Cotterill’s excellent and increasingly well renowned Bickerstaffe Record takes the lead in [...]
