The ‘Anna Raccoon’ blog is owned by Susanne Cameron-Blackie, who writes daily as ‘Anna’, aided and abetted by writers as diverse as SadButMadLad, Gildas the Monk, Matt Wardman, and Thaddeus J Wilson.

Each writer has their separate interests but they share a sense of humour, and a belief that the commentators are the important factor – the authors are there to start the conversation, not dominate it. They are oft referred to as the ‘bar staff’ at the ‘Raccoon Arms’. Anna may be addressed as ‘The Honourable Landlady’.

She lives in the Monbazillac area of South West France and still takes a keen interest in British politics, although she has no intention of ever leaving France.

Before becoming a lawyer, and acquiring a particular interest in Mental Health law, ‘Anna’ had travelled the world extensively, and tried her hand at many different businesses – as diverse as a Garage, and a Restaurant, and sold everything from swamp land in Florida to Whisky in Uganda.

A full rich life is never wasted as a blogger!

Satire, along with its first cousin irony, is a peculiarly British talent, and has a long history as an integral part of our cultural heritage. It is the art of quick witted repartee, badinage on speed. A dish that must be served piping hot, like a soufflé it collapses when put on the table by a reluctant website moderator several hours later.

Alternatively, feel free to join in the general anarchy in the ‘comments’ under each post.

The reluctance of many web sites to host ironical or satirical comment on current news items is leading to a dearth of intelligent debate. This plays into the hands of the thought police who stalk our shores.

This web site is moderated to remove libel, naturally; but also moderated to remove brain dead comments like ‘First’, or foul mouthed rants that contain no humour or relationship to the current news. I don’t remove comments on the grounds of disagreeing with the commentator’s opinion. I like opposing views, they are a positive thing – it’s called debate!
