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.

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.

Benefit Pub Quiz For Shannon defendants in Dublin

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday June 13, 2003 11:42author by Andrew - WSM Report this post to the editors

During the US war on Iraq and the afterwards during the occupation as many as 60 people were arrested or had files sent to the DPP for taking action against Irelands role in the war machine. Some are still waiting for verdicts, some have been found not guilty but quite a number have been convicted and fined for their part in opposing the war.

An injury to one is an injury to all


The Dublin Workers Solidarity Movement is organising a pub quiz to raise funds for the Shannon defendants (most of the arrests took place at Shannon airport where US warplanes were being refuelled). Come along and have fun while helping to ensure that the individual activists seized by the state do not have to cover costs of the fines and court cases out of their own pockets.

may as well get in some publicity for 2 events:

1) Anarchist Picnic this Saturday at 2.00pm in the Phoenix Park. Meeting up at the children's playground just inside the North Circular Entrance. Bring your own gear: food, football etc.


2)There's a benefit gig to help raise funds for some of the people. don't know who is organising it though (not the Whizzim).

This gig will take place in The Film Centre, Temple Bar with four performing groups on Tuesday June 16.

The war goes on - the truth is emerging - the anti-war movement was right - in Ireland the resisters face the Courts - and possible jail sentences - Among them are the 5 Catholic Workers who have helped expose our Government's collusion with Bush and Blair - They need our support!

Swords into Ploughshares
Benefit Gig for Catholic Worker Five
and Medical Supply Appeal for Iraq

Musicians:
Paul O'Toole (folk)
Cantori di Aradia (Italian duo)
"The Truth" - contemporary
Declan Hogge (blues guitar)

Tuesday 17 June (one week before the trial in Kilrush)
8 - 11.30 pm
