View from the shed
A retired bobby, copper, if you’re from Lancashire, sits in his shed and has his say. Honest, Northern, and occasionally interrupted by Mrs C with a brew.

Did You Ever See a UFO, Stanley?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Three pensioners walk into a pub. The conversation starts with JD Vance’s chicken coop, moves through the Epstein files and the Prince Formerly Known As Andrew, takes a detour via the Pentagon’s UFO releases, and ends with Kath the barmaid asking Stanley a question he’s been sitting on for thirty years.
It turns out South Lancashire has a reputation. UFO Valley, they call it. And a retired police officer on night shifts on the moors above Ramsbottom saw two things he never filed a report on. Until now.
Plus: Ronald Reagan says something to the United Nations that nobody knew what to do with. Steven Spielberg makes a film called Disclosure Day. And Stanley wonders whether someone, somewhere, is getting us ready for something.
He could be wrong. He often is.
