Why?

In creating this weblog, we decided that there was a gap that we needed to fill. We've looked - there's nothing out there that provides a unified source of information for matters related to debt and credit matters (pertinent to England and Wales) in a public format. And certainly not one from the perspective of debtors and money advisers. And further, one that does not 'toe the line' of any one organization or interested party. The creators of this weblog work for all organizations within the debt advice sphere - Advice UK, Citizens Advice, Local Authority Welfare Rights units and similar organizations. But at the same time, they are not unafraid to 'say what they really think' about important matters and take a subjective (or ‘partial’ as opposed to ‘impartial’) standpoint where one needs to be advocated. We will not praise political parties or court the government simply because they advocate half-measures which might appear to be progressive.

That's not to say we don't have principles, that we don't stand for things: we believe in the profound transformation of society. This will become apparent. But all too often, these beliefs are inhibited by our employer’s policies of 'impartiality' and commitment to a 'responsible' development of social policy. We don’t want to spend the rest of our lives, and the foreseeable future merely ‘inching forward’ to a distant goal. We want it now.
