Welcome to pointmade,

We look beyond headlines, gloss, and spin, we question and cross check with a healthy degree of suspicion when things don’t quite seem to add up. Reading the small print and the messages ‘between the lines’, pointmade’s mission is to expose lies and false promises.

Our aim is to give you facts not fiction, writing the truth – or maybe just an alternative, an unexpected take on things. At pointmade we pull no punches. At the very least pointmade aims to be thought-provoking, better still, if pointmade can prompt you to take action.

Pointmade’s current key concern is environmentalism and politics. Or rather: the discrepancy between political rhetoric and action. But we don’t like to limit ourselves, so with time the range of topics may well grow. (You may therefore find some of the categories without any entries).
