British TV Comedy Has Lost its Class Sat Nov 22, 2025 17:00 | Finlay McLaren
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.

Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
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.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
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.

Next Shannon protest
by Joe Wed, Mar 26 2003, 10:01am
Dead Slow March for Peace
by GNAW - Grassroots Network Against War
ggantiwar@yahoo.com
Mourning the Death of Irish Neutrality and All Deaths in Iraq
Next Sunday, 30th March will see a Dead Slow March for Peace taking place at Shannon Warport.(Meeting 2pm at the shopping centre). People will gather at Shannon from all over the country to express opposition to the war in Iraq and to Irish participation in it, through the use of facilities at Shannon by US military on their way to the Gulf.
This will be a solemn occasion, an act of mourning for all those who have been or will be killed in this war and for the final death of Irish Neutrality. Organisers are asking participants to wear black clothes, white face paint and to bring red paint or fake blood to put on their hands.
This protest has been called by the Grassroots Network Against War and is being supported by the Cork Peace Alliance.
Anything planned for Cork this Saturday?
If the Grassroots Action Network are organising the march then I certainly will stay away. They have done untold damage to the cause just when we need to keep public opinion on our side.
Note nobody commenting anymore - too late for that - take action or be complicit in a warcrime
"They have done untold damage to the cause just when we need to keep public opinion on our side."
Yeh it's shit isn't it that we have caused public opinion to swing so much behind the war. I mean there are stars and stripes and butchers aprons flying all over town at the moment, aren't there. The GNAW actions have really focused people's minds on the need to massacre Iraqis, I mean if we don't massacre them, fences might get damaged!
The fact is that anti-war feeling in this country is much greater than ever before, so public opinion is dramatically and overwhelmingly on our side. Whether this is despite or partially because of GNAW, I don't know and there is very little evidence on either side. However it is ludicrous to suggest that GNAW's actions have alienated public opinion from the anti-war movement. If you repeat your stupid, obviously false assertion again and again, it doesn't suddenly come true, it just makes you look like a brain-washed zombie who is only capable of bleating the mantras of troskyite cults.
