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.

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.

Objet : Barcelona 2004
dimanche 15 février 2004
Monsieur,
La volonté de Barcelona 2004 de travailler en étroite collaboration avec de nombreuses multinationales dont les politiques me parait de nature à orienter les débats et les travaux dans une direction incompatible avec la mise en place d'un développement économique respectueux des sociétés et de leur environnement naturel.
Deux d'entre elles en particulier, Coca-cola et Nestlé, ont été et sont toujours fortement critiquées pour leur indifférence par rapport aux impacts négatifs que leur recherche avide de profits ont sur les petits et moyens paysans du monde entier. L'exemple de l'usine de mise en bouteille de Coca-cola à Plachimada, dans l'état du Kerala dans le sud de l'Inde est révélateur du peu de cas que cette compagnie fait des ressources locales en eau. Nestlé pour sa part investit agressivement dans le secteur des eaux minérales sans porter la moindre attention à l'augmentation inutile des transports de marchandises.
D'autres multinationales qui appuient Barcelona 2004 se sont également retrouvées en confrontation directe avec des organisations et des associations partenaires de la Confédération paysanne depuis de nombreuses années.
Le patronage ostentatoire de ces entreprises avec lesquelles nous sommes en conflit ne me permet pas de répondre favorablement à l'invitation que vous m'avez faite de participer au Dialogue "Water for Life and Security".
Par conséquent et afin de lever toute ambiguïté, je vous serai reconnaissant de ne plus me faire figurer dans la liste des personnalités invitées, indiquée sur le document que Barcelona 2004 diffuse actuellement sur son site Internet.
Je vous prie d'agréer l'expression de ma considération distinguée.
