So, I’ve decided to suspend the St Neots Citizen for a while.
The reasons are various, but essentially, can be blamed on three things.
First is the complete lack of anything happening in St Neots apart from whinges about car park charges. Various councillors are still getting into scraps in the Hunts Post and on the St Neots site, but it’s become SO farcical you can’t satirise it any more, because they’re all becoming charicatures anyway.
Second is a lack of time. I’m doing a very time-consuming, tiring job over the summer and don’t have the inclination to do the work at the moment. Sorry.
Lastly is ANOTHER threatened lawsuit which, obviously, I’m not going to go into details of. But this is the third or fourth time this harmless site has been threatened with legal action by someone who can’t take a joke.
The Citizen has “closed down” a couple of times before and has always come back when my interest is re-ignited. So I’m sure this’ll happen again. Keep us in your RSS readers and on your Facebook, and watch out for a re-appearance – probably in the not too distant future.
In the meantime however, I’d like to personally thank all our readers for their support during this particular incarnation of the Citizen, and hope you’ve enjoyed the moments.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

How can you do this? Having only just discovered you wonderful organ you say you are closing down. Wonderful humour, razor sharp satire. Still, I have 9 years of archives to catch up on, and hopefully you will be back by the time I have read all of them.
Judging by last time, I’d say we’ll probably be back before Christmas. So don’t despair!
By all means have a summer break, but please come back. Most of the ‘news’ articles are brilliantly done and so very, very funny.
Sad to see the Citizen shutdown again, your right the lack of things to satirise in St Neots is depressing.
Threatened legally action again, whoever it is needs sto get a grip, a spine and realise that’s it all a bit of harmless fun. Unless they’re East German and a former Stasi member.
Well I’m sad to see you go (albeit for a while, at least I’ve got the Daily Mash and The Onion for lunch time surfing in work.
Damn, the only culture left in St Neots is found in yoghurt.
Oh Christ which sensitive soul has been filling the coffers of his…er her solicitor this time?
I bet I can guess.
