As our earliest subscribers over on our WordPress site will remember, we launched the Blind Spot in 2022 in the hope of creating an "off the books" Alphaville-esque service focused on stories that my old parish, the FT, seemed to be dodging. From our point of view, growing internal sensitivities related to politics and culture were forcing us into an ever-narrower lane just as finance was becoming increasingly politicized. The Blind Spot was intended to be an antidote to that.
And, well, three years on, not much has changed.
