Is the Era of Cheap Internet Surveys Over? Sat Nov 22, 2025 15:00 | Noah Carl
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.

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.

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.

Ructions in PSEU

by Angry Civil Servant - PSEU

Report this post to the editors

Another stab in the back from Dan Murphy

The Public Service Executive Union has issued a circular to all branches in response to a stream of enquiries to head office about the unions stand on the bin tax

The circular, dated 17 October, quotes the motion from the 2001 Conference which clearly binds the union to supporting the campaigns. However General Secretary Dan Murphy has other ideas. He attaches David Beggs stab in the back statement from ICTU for good measure. Interestingly this circular hasn't been distributed electronically but I quote the last two paragraphs:

"The current campaign involving refusal to pay, prevention of refuse collection and seeking publicity by deliberately courting jail sentences for the flouting of court orders is clearly a political campaign and courld hardly be described as 'legitimate' and is not organised by ICTU"

"In that context, the Union did not participate in the demonstration organised by the Dublin Council of Trade Unions last Saturday and the Union's representative abstained on the vote at the Council meeting."
