offsite link 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.

Media coverage of situation in Dublin

category dublin | summit mobilisations | news report author Saturday May 01, 2004 23:18author by Chris Donoghue Report this post to the editors

A look at the coverage so far

Sky News is sensationalising the trouble in Dublin. Between 8:45pm and 10:00pm (Now) they have been showing the same two-minute loop of pictures. The presenters are making factually incorrect statements about the area and its distance from the Phoenix Park and the EU heads of State. Ray Kennedy is constantly repeating the significance of a water cannon being used in the Republic of Ireland and the word “riots” is being used to describe the situation. The presenters have already described the protestors as “anti-globalisation activists and anti-EU activists who were trying to gain access to the Irish President’s residence, Farmleigh House????”
In contrast, RTE covered the story live for 5 minutes, ITV mentioned the story in passing as “clashes” and the BBC ignored the story, despite being live in Dublin.
