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.

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.

Greenies pull an anti-war stunt in dail and walk out

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday January 29, 2003 17:37author by Eamonn Crudden Report this post to the editors

from RTE.ie

All of the Green Party's TDs walked out of the Dáil this afternoon during Taoiseach's question time, after displaying a 'No to War' banner.

Mr Ahern had just begun to answer a question about the use of Shannon airport by US troops, in the event of war breaking out, when the Green TDs raised their banner, contrary to Dáil rules.

They were led out by party leader Trevor Sargent.


Deputies are discussing a Private Members' Motion calling for a ban on planes carrying troops and munitions from landing at the airport.

On RTÉ Radio, the Minister for Transport, Seamus Brennan said it had been Government policy for decades to allow military aircraft from many nations to refuel at Shannon.

He said the Government would review the situation if the United States took unilateral military action against Iraq.
