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.

Fine Gael senator describes anti war protesters as 'Fascist'

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday April 03, 2003 14:51author by Khalid Farouk Report this post to the editors

Fine Gael senator describes anti war protesters yesterday as 'Fascist'.

While debating the peacefull anti war protests outside the Dáil yesterday Fine Gael Senator Jim Higgins, who was rejected by the people in the last election described the protest as being "a Fascist display".

This is fairly ironic given the history of his own party! It is also ironic as he is a member of an undemocratic body that is modelled on fascist methods of representation.

PD Senator John Dardis, who was not elected but appointed by Ahern into the Seanad said that "the anti war protesters were extrememly threatening and were intent on creating serious disturbances"

What about the cops? who were they given orders by?
