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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10We're counting on the "lucky Irish" to surprise Emperor Busch with quite a rowdy rabble of war protesters Monday.
God bless you, fellow anti war activists. Los Angeles will be watching you on the telly (hopefully you'll end up on CNN) and sending you good vibes through the karma sphere.
Have a great march! Wage peace!

Sorry to burst your balloons but nothing much will happen judging by the extreme conservatism of the sheepish Irish public mirrored by the extreme conservatism of the Irish Anti War Movement (IAWM). Sure the usual 3,000-4,000 usual suspects will turn up and we'll have the usual suspects speaking and the usual token march but no effort will be put into organising a 32 counties 2-day general strike and a serious campaign of Non Violent Direct Action (NVDA) which could be pulled off if people got up off their backsides. Sure we'll probably even have those so-called trade union leaders Des Geraghty and Peter Bunting addressing the usual small crowd with their usual half-militant sounding messages that will please just enough of the gobshites in the crowd to get the usual "Yahoos!" But sure doesn't life suck? That's the way we Irish are.
there are loads of people travelling from all over ireland, not just dublin, to belfast on monday. i for one will do what i feel is right to oppose those hypocrital criminals. i too am pissed off with the IAWM lack of balls as well as the TUs who are for some reason afraid it seems to lead from the front and bring the irish people on board to sufficiently oppose this war. stop isolating the few who are prepared to do more in terms of NVDA and major strikes. join them and support them you cowards. BUSH is coming to ireland WAKE UP, marching isn't enough anymore!
It is off vital importance that all people recognise that mainstream lead coalitions such as that being " allegedly " lead by ICTU are restrained by the stupid bureaucratic manner of groups such as ictu- they may attract the media and more " mainstream" individuals - however that does not mean that we as anti war protestors cannot do what we feel is best in protesting these war mongers on our own soil.
The majority of people travelling to protest are not doing so to stand and carry banners.
The call to mobilise has to be a broad call that will motivate maximum numbers - NVDA will have its place as will all other forms of protest. The main priority is to get people out there - once we are there we can do whatever we wish as individuals or organised groups - the essential issue to focus on is how to mobilise and ensure all those who are against this war and the disgusting imperial ways are out on the streets of Hillsborough and Belfast.
A message of solidarity from Chicago. Despite political differences..including the apparent capitualtion by certain sectors of both the anti-war and Republican leadership, we hope that folks there will able to raise hell when these scum-sucking fuckwads ( a favorite Chicago epithet) show up. Both Bush and his pet poodle Blair believe this meeting is occuring on 'safe ground'. Show them it ain't so. The whole world is watching. All the best.
We don't call them the fighting Irish in Boston for nothing. Go to the marches! We're depending on you. Do it!

spit in their fucking faces.
