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.

Royal Irish ready for the word to go

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday March 20, 2003 22:43author by rooster Report this post to the editors

All so that the southern Irish can sleep soundly under the blanket of protection provided by Northern troops.

The Royal Irish Regiment has been moved towards the front line this evening on the Kuwait/Iraq border (source: UTV). Over 80 members of the unit are men from the Republic of Ireland. Lets hope they all return home to Ireland safe and sound in a few weeks. Its good to see some of our fellow citizens defend our freedom.

We will support our troops when they turn their guns on their officers. Ask children in West belfast and the Falls who protects them?, who shoots innocent catholic children in the back with plastic bullets, YOU DO PARA SCUM.

I am grateful that the Royal Irish wasters are sent in first, those bunch of mammies boy tossers are great landmine detectors.

The word "bastards" is probably accurate in both meanings of the word.

Interestingly, going back to the First World War and beyond the Irish were typically always sent into battle first - or at least to the more lethal areas of any given scenario.

As most people are aware, during the 1970's and 80's Irish in the UK were subject to the same prejudices, invective and general racism as the islamic community are facing now.

Given our (recent) history I find it dissappointing (but not surprising) that the government considers the US and UK our "closest allies".

Has our temporary grasp of a few very transient dollars made us forget the last few decades? The US-centric process of globalisation as a whole renders smaller nations something like satellite states - too dependant economically on the US to take contrary political positions. As has been demonstrated today.

What about Irish prejudice against the Brits, as evidenced by this thread and a few others? Talk about whining hypocrisy...

Finbar, I don't recall ever seeing any signs here saying "no english need apply".

Finbores right, I agree with him, second rate Royal irish dredges should be sent in first, pseudo irish mongrels are expendable. Why sacrifice true blue pure blood brits, when we can get rif of irish mongrels.

The fact that you can't all admit your prejudice against the Brits, and yet you would jump up and down and wave your arms and scream every time something anti-Irish is said in the UK, shows how pathetic you are. When you're really put on the spot, you resort to satire, which is even more pathetic.

Why not try joining the human race?
