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.

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.

Oh yeah where is YOUR hero Saddam?In a bunker no doubt.
It must be enjoyable for you watching them die. Sick perverts.
You'd prefer if Saddam was administering 'justice' in Iraq, wouldn't you?
You red clowns always pick the losing team.
oooh, a bit touchy aren't we? James you seem to have touched a nerve with our resident pro-Bush stooges on this site.
Ladsoladsolads, James is only pointing out the facts here. Whether he 'supports Saddam' or not is absolutley irrelevant. And btw I doubt very much if he does. But if you think this resistance is about 'Saddam' (no no no it is, cos he made a tape the other day! - ahem) then what can I say only "just keep believing".
This will turn into an escalated guerrilla war, and most likely a mass movement somewhat similar to the Iranian revolution. However, lets hope that after whatever movement that forces the US out that what emerges is not a clerical state.
Say what you want about Saddam, but at least he didn't believe in religious mumbo-jumbo, unlike certain other 'moral crusaders'. Saddam was just a fucking bad man. But Bush/Blair/Bertie/Berlusconi and the rest would have us believe he was actually the human incarnation of THE DEVIL HIMSELF. (why is the devil a him? I thought all angels were supposed to be haemephrodites - even fallen ones) Hitler mark II. 'More Evil than Hitler - we have evidence to back this up' - where is the evidence, "weeeeeeell, you see it a country the size of california and it could take us quite a while to plant, eh I mean, find. About as long as it takes us to drain the country's oil reserves"
Go to google.com, type 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' and hit the 'I'm Feeling Lucky' Button for a mildly humourous surprise
You people are enemies of freedom. I know the type so well, after the 'mass popular revolution' comes Lenin. Stalin and death camps.
Guantanamo's a death camp, isn't it? Or are they building an execution chamber just to spend some US taxpayers' money to no purpose?
I'm really not noticing a lack of ruling class ruthlessness at this point in time. Even Lenin and Stalin regularly pointed to the suppression of the Paris Commune (1871), when captured Communards or suspected Communards were murdered by the tens of thousands and middle class Parisian ladies enjoyed walking around after their execution prodding the bodies of the slain with their parasols.
Lenin and Stalin warned that if the Bolsheviks were overthrown, the counter-revolution would be just as ruthless as the Versailles supporters had been in 1871. Maybe Lenin and Stalin learned the lesson too well.
There may be few in history more ruthless than a ruling class determined to stay a ruling class and continue to enjoy the wealth and power that goes with that status.
