Cost of Living crisis: we say enough is enough
BBC reporting from Ambridge is focusing on the cost of living crisis, rightly so. Tracy is buying Xmas dinner bit by bit as money allows, while Jazzer ponders some cut price pork from Berrow Farm. Meanwhile The Bull and the Tea Rooms have started Winter Warmer sessions where people can stop by to warm up and save on the cost of heating at home. Stella has discussed how to get an affordable costume for a school requirement. The focus is good, up to a point. Its surely time for an Enough is Enough rally on the village green and a demand that employers in the area pay a proper living wage.
Ben in crisis
Ben has been self-obsessed since his break up with Beth and his liaison with Chelsea. Chelsea is moving on but Ben isn’t. While self-obsession is perfectly normal for members of the Archers Dynasty, Ben has developed health issues. We can only hope that hard pressed NHS services in Tory Borsetshire have the resources to help him.

The future of St Stephens
Now that the census has revealed that less than 50% of people see themselves as Christian its surely time for alternative uses for St Stephens to be looked at. A Wetherspoons may be out of the question at the moment, but perhaps a community centre with a cordoned off area for Church related activities..
