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.

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.

MORE SHANNON PROTESTS

MORE SHANNON PROTESTS

There was a massive police presence at Shannon Airport ahead of a
peace process today.

Hundreds of extra gardai, some of them in riot gear, arrived at Shannon
Airport to confront anti-war protesters.

Razor wire was stretched across part of the airport complex to prevent
protesters who say they plan to enter the airport by breaching perimeter
fences

"Grassroots Network", who are organising the direct action have refuted
claims that their actions at the airport today will amount to "vandalism".
The demonstrators plan a mass trespass at the airport breaching perimeter
fence security.

Their spokesperson, Adam Conroy, says that a damaged fence does not
compare to the devastation that will occur if the attack by the US
and UK on Iraq goes ahead.

"Our view is that there is a long-standing legal right that you can
damage property to protect human life and that's what we're doing.


"The latest estimates from the UN say that in the event of war in
Iraq there would be half a million civilian casualties and two million
refugees created and minor damage to a small section of fence really
doesn't compare to that in our view".

The latest protest is part of continuing unease in Ireland about the
use made by the US of facilities in the country as part of its preparation
to attack Iraq.
