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.

DU (Depleated Uranium) is quite new to the front lines - 1991 gulf war: it's effects will be with us for what can only be described as 'eons' - we are giving the future ,for decades, generations, centuries and beyond a guarantee of birth defects, cancer, misery pain and suffering.

Sadly, gulf war syndrome is more likely to cause us to reconsider the use of things lie DU than what actually happens in countries lie Iraq. This, in itself, however selfish on the part of the citizens of the west it may be, is something. However , fora (singular of forum?) like this actively shorten the distance between the 'frontline' and 'back home': We keep the lazy, bought, careerist, incompetent hack journo bastards on their toes, and in so doing, make people sit up and notice. We actually have a chance of reaching people. This is new.

War may not happen this time. If it does, it will not be like it was the last time. This time, the Irish government couldn't get away with troops and munitions (sorry weapons)in Shannon. Now, after 3 direct actions, the majority of Irish people polled (49% over 42%), according to an opinion poll in the Irish Times, don't support the US using Shannon as a stopover even with a new UN resolution. 68% are currently against it's use. Smug Fine Gaelers, finna foulers, pee dees and the rest can sit on the fence til the cows come home - or the planes fuck off - whichever. Fact is that we are already against war and we will let the world know what depleated uranium and cluster bombs do and what the oil reserve currency issues are. We have Tim and they have Tom. HA!
