The BBC's Director of Comedy wants to "save the sitcom". But the sitcom is only endangered because most of them stopped being funny. As To the Manor Born reminds us, British comedy has lost its class, says Finlay McLaren.

Is the era of cheap internet surveys over? A new paper demonstrates that AIs can now be "trivially programmed" to answer online surveys in ways that are essentially indistinguishable from humans.

We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

BNP win Council seat

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday January 24, 2003 13:27author by Janus Report this post to the editors

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned so BNP article on it attached for people's information NOT because I support the bastards

Labour is in retreat, the Tories are an irrelevance and the common sense of the British people is winning through again! That's the verdict from Halifax where tonight the BNP scored a tremendous result in the council by-election held in the Mixenden ward. This is a ward which was contested by the BNP in 1999 where we achieved a tiny 3% share of the vote.

The voters in this old weaving Yorkshire town have delivered a brickbat of epic proportions to New Labour yet again!

Despite the usual dirty tactics from the local media, despite pleas by the local Church of England representatives, despite appalling and possibly illegal actions by employees of Yorkshire Constabulary (these allegations are being pursued by the BNP's legal team) enough voters saw the reality of the BNP as the only hope for their community.

This West Yorkshire town has witnessed the same political changes that have been seen in the past 6 months in Burnley, Oldham, Stoke, Lewisham and elsewhere. On one side we have quite simply the "old gang" parties of Labour, Tory and Lib-Dem with their discredited policies of failure, discrimination and mistrust and on the other side we have the one party that is prepared to challenge the failed policies of the old gang parties and that is the British National Party which aims to bring about a better society for all.

Results:

Turnout 37.1%

BNP 679
Lib Dems 651
Labour 641
Conservative 214
Independent 149

Hard graft

Newly elected BNP Councillor Adrian Marsden and his team worked hard across the ward assuring people of all cultural backgrounds that the BNP quite simply wants to put British interests at the top of the agenda but that all members of the community will benefit from a BNP councillor being elected. Clr. Marsden the 42 year old father of 7 children told us that the local people had had enough of the anti-White racist attacks which occur almost daily but are ignored by both the craven Yorkshire Police and Calderdale Council.

Add to this the recent decision by Calderdale Councillors to award themselves a 43% pay rise and a 18% hike in Council Taxes for 2003-4 it is perhaps not surprising that enough voters expressed the need for change by putting their mark against Mr. Marsden and the BNP.

So despite an unprecedented level of smear including a full page attack on Adrian Marsden in the "Daily Mirror" earlier this week and another smear in Thursday's Blairite rag "Daily Express" the voters in Mixenden saw through the media lies and deceipt and gave a firm Yorkshire "two fingers" to the media owners who bed down with Blair and the disastrous "open borders" policy on asylum.

Dinosaur mentality! Watch out for the coming BNP asteroid!
