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.

Occupation of Aviation Building on Burgh Quay

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday March 24, 2003 13:45author by Dublin Catholic Worker - Dublin Catholic Worker Report this post to the editors

Members of the radical pacifist Catholic Worker movement are presently occupying offices of the Aviation Building. The anti-war activists have refused to leave the building in protest at the continued use of Shannon Airport by the U.S.military. A spokesperson for the group stated: "The civilian infrastructure of the Irish aviation industry has been surrendered by the Ahern government to the U.S.war machine, a war machine that continues to unleash indiscrimminate bombardment, napalm, cluster bombs and cruise missiles on the people of Iraq. Like the train tracks that lead to the town of Auschwitz, Shannon Airport has been militarised on an assembly line of death. In the name of the children of Iraq, we call upon the Irish government to desist. We call upon the Irish people to nonviolently resist the criminal complicity of the Ahern/Harney government. More information/photos of the action: Ciaron O'Reilly, 087 918 4552

Excellent News.

Does anyone know of any targets in Cork City that could be picketed or occupied besides the FF offices?

The Top Oil deport at Ringaskeddy(sp?) is where the aviation fuel going into the US warplanes at Shannon is coming from.

Also the offices of any FF TD are suitable for a 'blood on your hands' graffiti job. See http://www.indymedia.ie/cgi-bin/newswire.cgi?id=35943 for the stencil that was used on Berties office

Well done to all of those occupying the Aviation Building. More of this is needed.
Anti-war protestors occupied Fianna Fail's regional headquarters on Saturday, forcing an irate Micheal Martin to flee the scene in his government merc. But not before calling the protestors 'fascist'. So much for our cherished freedoms to protest.

If people are looking for place to do actions against the war and against refuelling in Shannon, there is no shortage.

TOP have 120 filling stations around the country. They also run a large number of TOP LOndis shops.

TOP as the company that is refuelling planes at Shannon, is directly implicated in this war. Also if you do an action/ protest/ occupation at TOP you can use the opportunity to call for a Boycott of TOP so as to involve the general public in meaningful action against refuelling at Shannon.

TOP are motivated purely by profit. If a boycott hits them hard enough than they will withdraw from refuelling U.S. death machines at Shannon.
