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.

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.

World Kindness Day may have passed you by. But it won't have passed by your children, whose school will have been sure to teach that climate action and open borders are essential elements of 'kindness', says Steven Tucker.

Trade union latest on bin tax

category dublin | bin tax / household tax / water tax | news report author Thursday September 25, 2003 05:34author by Bob is your Uncle, Ruth is your Aunt Report this post to the editors

TEEU shop stewards demand Dublin Council of Trade Unions meeting to discuss bin tax action. Meanwhile, ICTU bureaucrat stabs bin tax protestors in the back.

Quotations from the Irish Times:

"Calls for the trade union movement to support the anti-bin tax charges campaign were firmly rejected yesterday by the general secretary of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, Mr David Begg"

"In a strongly worded condemnation of the campaign, Mr Begg said it could lead to privatisation of the services and a loss of jobs. He also urged the jailed Socialist Party politicians, Mr Joe Higgins TD and Cllr Clare Daly, to purge their contempt of the High Court and 'cool things down'."

...

"Shop stewards of one union, the TEEU, which represents workers with local authorities, last night called on the Dublin Council of Trade Unions to hold an emergency meeting to discuss what action should be taken".

...

"Campaign spokeswoman Ms Ruth Coppinger criticised Mr Beggs remarks, saying the trade union movement should back up its 'official position against the bin charges' with 'appropriate action'."

"The Socialist Party councillor urged trade unions to organise work stoppages to demand the release of Mr Higgins and Ms Daly."

Perhaps Indymedia readers might take a moment or two of their time to contact the ICTU and politely let Mr Begg know precisely how much his craven behaviour is appreciated.
