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.

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.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST WATER CHARGES IN THE NORTH

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday March 12, 2003 00:26author by Cleo Report this post to the editors

The brit government is hoping to introduce water charges in Northern Ireland. There have been no water charges in Northern ireland for many years, why start now?

Our water system has run well enough for many years without us having to pay water charges, why do we have to pay them now?. I certainly don't want the brit government creaming more money off people to pay for their pointless wasteful wars in far off foreign soils. Northern ireland people already have to pay more money for their electricity and fuel supplies than the rest of the UK, our electricity and fuel costs more in northern ireland than the rest of the UK. On top of these additional charges and the higher cost of living in Northern ireland, the brit government is now demanding money for water.

I did with now deceased pals once concoct a plan to put LSD25 in the water supply of RTE.
The target was the Late Late Show.
The plan was to have Gay Byrne tripping of his nut for the Toy Show Christmas 1994.

I do not recommend this action.

LSD25 is unstable at the best of times, as any budding pharmacologist will know stability of the Hofmann Molecule is often achieved by bonding with other chemicals which are poisonous.

LSD25 also is very rare in solution.
simply dropping a load of blotter in the reservoir will not trip the populus.

What is sold on the street as "liquid acid" is in fact another type of halicinogen similar in short term effect to LSD25 but not really the same.

If you are interested in spiking Northern Ireland, you should set up a safe purchasing account and do business with the Sandoz corporation who still sell under license for research purposes the patent and equipment for manufacture of LSD in all its varients forms.

However one could always look at other options.
the Irish and the Basque already have enjoyed the most heavily flouridated water supply in Europe.

I do not know what the effects would be of spiking someone with both Flouride and LSD.

I shall perhaps in the continuing interest of serving my people [long time victims of persecution, winners of more Nobel prizes for Literature than anyone else, vetoed at UN security council level oh how many times???? yes just less than Isreal] do some research on what we really should put in the water.

= 1994 Xmas Toy Show Gay Byrne got off lightly.

the young Mr O´as-if realised his peculiar talents for really effing up the system were not be appreciated in the land of his birth and went to eff up other peoples lands instead.

The push for water charges is largely coming from EU directives and these in turn are at the
behest of the WTO GATS agreement that basically intend to charge for everything and privatize too.

The government down here tried to introduce water charges to Dublin about 5 years ago or so.
They were defeated by a policy of mass non-payment and large protests outside the courts when
a handful of people were brought to court. The politicians realized it was deeply unpopular and
backed off for the time being. However recent statements made, indicate they are about to try
again soon.

By the way the typical policy is to start charging for something before handing it over to the
private sector. In that way the State or rather taxpayer pays for all the hard work of getting it
to that State and then it is handed over to their cronies who preceed with the robbery indefinitely.

So good luck with your campaign.
