offsite link 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.

offsite link 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.

offsite link 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.

Time for a secular Indymedia?

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday June 09, 2003 19:44author by Secular Report this post to the editors

I am concerned by the recent trend on IMC to have more and more content put up by religious groups and sects conected to the catholic church.

I am concerned by the recent trend on IMC to have more and more content put up by religious groups and sects conected to the catholic church. I always thought that IMC was meant to be a secular and progressive website and not a religious one.
Recently there has been many posts put up by the Catholic prayer group 'Catholic Worker' as well as links to sermons by Fr. Pat O'Brien. These people can be quite regressive on most issues such as divorce, abortion papal infallibility, they work with Youth Defence on many occasions. One of the only reasons they were against the war was because their pope came out against it. What do others think about keeping IMC secular? should religious posts and posts put up by catholic and religious grousp be removed?
