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.

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.

Best news this year - Scumbag Mckevitt to rot in jail

category dublin | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Wednesday August 06, 2003 13:47author by Pádraig - Fuck the 'RA Report this post to the editors

Hopefully he'll never see his family again.

August 6, 2003

(12:26) Michael McKevitt has been found guilty of membership of an illegal organisation, and of directing terrorism.

The Special Criminal Court gave its verdict this morning in the case involving the alleged leader of the Real IRA.

53-year-old McKevitt, from Blackrock in Co Louth, was the first person to be charged with directing terrorism, an offence created under legislation brought in after the Omagh bombing.

He could face life imprisonment. During the trial, McKevitt denied both charges.

The main prosecution witness, FBI agent David Rupert, told the court about army council meetings he attended with him and plans that McKevitt had to launch a new wave of shootings and bombings in the North and in Britain.

However, when a Garda surveillance document was disclosed to the court, McKevitt's defence claimed it contradicted evidence Mr Rupert had given under oath, and applied to have the trial stopped.

When this was refused, McKevitt sacked his legal team and refused to participate any further. He called it a political showtrial and stopped attending court.

The remaining witnesses, including the Garda Chief Superintendent who testified that he knew the 53-year-old to be a member of an illegal organisation, gave their evidence to the court unchallenged.
