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.

Truth Has Been Exposed

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday February 10, 2003 10:19author by Ciaron O Reilly - Catholic Workerauthor email pitstop_pl- at hotmail dot com Report this post to the editors

Statement from Limerick Prison


Two truths have been exposed:
1. The weapons systems are not secure. There have been 90 “Ploughshares” actions over twenty years and all communities have reached the weapon systems they hoped to disarm. Many of these disarmament actions have been carried out in higher security environments than Shannon airport.
2. The weapons do not secure us. The presence of the US war machine en route through Shannon to war endangers both Iraqi and Irish lives.
What was covert – the militarisation of Shannon airport – has now been made overt – with the deployment of Irish soldiers servicing the US war machine. This is the nature of prophetic action, to shine a light on the works of darkness. The idolatry of the Irish government that values cash over the sanctity of human life has also been exposed.
The Catholic Worker and Ploughshares remain pacificist. Disarming the war machine on the verge of a massacre remains a legitimate activity. Lies and slander about us from the rich and powerful remain predictable.

You struck a revolutionary blow! to heel with the political pygmies who are stabbing the CWM in the back. Or as Brendan Behan said: F*** The Begrudgers!

The Quare Fella also said:

"It's easy to spot the terrorist...he's the man with a small bomb..."

also

"I never saw a situation so bad that the presence of a policeman couldn't make it worse..."
