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.

Apologies for wrong address
You were an embryo once too. Abortion is murder for the sake of convenience.
I can't make it to Dublin for the day, but maybe someone could also bring along another 19 pairs of shoes to remember the 19 lives which travel to Britain but don't make it back.
Firstly, abortion is not murder for the sake of convenience! The choice to terminate a pregnancy is a very difficult and emotional decision for any woman to make. To comment that abortion is convenient is a completely ignorant statement to make especially in Ireland. First of all, information on abortion is only legally obtainable by women through face-to-face counselling. Upon receiving information about abortion clinics, women then face the next task of raising the money for a termination (approximately 900 euros). Then there is the stress of booking accommodation, travelling etc… Many women have to make this journey alone. This is definitely not a convenient process! The thought that human life begins at conception is a religious and philosophical belief and this is not a biological fact. Between January 1980 and December 2001, at least 98,565 Irish women had abortions in Britain. In 2002, a total of 6,490 women gave Irish addresses in clinics in the UK. 19 pairs of shoes will be placed outside the entrance to the Dail to highlight this journey made by 19 women everyday to the UK to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Whether you are aware of it or not, most people know someone who has had an abortion. Women in this country in a crisis pregnancy situation should have the right to choose. The choice to continue with a pregnancy, the choice of adoption and the choice to terminate a pregnancy. The Noise 4 Choice event (November 26th 6 pm Dail) is a pro-choice event, not a pro-abortion or anti-life event! I am not a baby killer or a murderer or any other of the nasty names you choose to describe people that believe in reproductive rights for Irish women.
Is the pill murder?
Is every sperm sacred?
Is cutting your hair murder?
Is killing a few cells murder?
Is cutting your toenails murder?
Is abortion happening in Ireland?
Do Irish people have abortions?
Don't mistake a couple of cells with a -1 month old human life.
Don't think people having abortions are blasee about it.
Don't mistake a health issue with a moral one.
{THINK! - contraception/legalising homosexuality/legalising divorce}.
No doubt the most regressive voices in our society, and the single biggest force/2nd biggest force will do their best to keep the sham democracy/health system in the state it is.
Valley Girl-have a think.
