EDITORIAL FEATURES
Our Editorial Features are all about placing a spotlight on things such as events and businesses.
Here we get behind the scenes - even under the covers - to get an insider's look at what's going on. It could be about the things happening at the next event in or around town. It could be about one of our local businesses and a new product being offered.
Whatever the focus, the features will all be interesting dives - into the undercover stories.
Whose Life Is It Anyway?
Fifty years ago, Brian Clark, a British writer, wrote “Whose Life Is It Anyway?” Clark’s fictional story became a TV drama, a stage play and a feature film. Half a century on, why do we STILL need to ask - Whose Life Is It Anyway?
The sad true story of Alfie Evans - described by one writer as “a sordid lesson in government-controlled health care” shows, for me, that we STILL can’t answer the question. Or is it more truthful, perhaps, to say we CAN answer it – but that the state STILL insists that we are wrong about whose life it is - and that the state should decide when we live and when we die?

Seriously Spicy Beef Pizza
This [seriously] Spicy Beef Pizza is great family fun to make, as well as to eat! Not only that, making it will save you a whole lot of money – and you’ll know EXACTLY what’s gone into it – whether you stick to the recipe or you don’t!
The pizza base could hardly be any easier - it’s made from Cotswold Pan Bread – while the topping is seriously spicy. This pizza lives up to its name – that’s how we like it in this household! You can adjust the quantities if you prefer a less spicy topping - the same goes for the quantity of cheese [although, really, why would want to reduce it?!

Is It An Insult Of Our Intelligence?
With BoJo as good as gone - we have had a raft of Would-Bees, lining up frantically to take his place. In fact, there were - at the start - no fewer than twelve of them - all thinking they possess the right stuff to be the next PM.
Nine of them were still in the cabinet at the point of BoJo's resignation and, amazingly, 2 of them had only been promoted to that high office just hours before. I hope you see the problem with all this. Rats know when it's time to leave a sinking ship - but these MPs don't!
