British TV Comedy Has Lost its Class Sat Nov 22, 2025 17:00 | Finlay McLaren
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.

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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5I saw the beginning of the Dail 'debate'.
Opposition parties complained that time allocated for the debate was too short.
This was rejected in a vote.
The debate will finish at 4.30 as the Taoiseach and Foreign Affairs Minister Brian Cowen convienently have to go to Brussels for an EU meeting.
Now wouldn't it be a great message if they were blockaded from going !
I would also like to know why RTÉ are biased and sympathetic to the American cause, why they refer to Bush as "The President" as though we have none of our own, why they advocate the war as inevitable, why they had a pro-war american and army commander on this morning's programme, without any representation of the other side, and why Enrique Barón's comments in the EU parliment will not be broadcast on the News tonight as they should be (Enrique Baron - spanish socialist ex-minister pointed out a lot of things including the people of europe obviously being against war, and that the US has already carved up Iraq with a ruler and that the biggest chunk goes to the company Bush was heading not 2 years ago.....and all the usual about Palestine, the Mortality rate in Iraq and Palestine, and how we are not advocating Saddam's rule by trying to oppose war etc)
Also, where is the reasoning behind the statement of the Irish Government saying that we must support the Americans because of all they have done for the Peace Process in the Six Counties? So What? They should not be allowed to use Casement Aerodrome or Shannon against the will of the Irish people, as that is a direct breach of our constitution, as Brian Cowen well knows...
Its time for the leadership of Sinn Fein (Gerry Adams)& the Green Party (Sargent) to go on TV and tell people its now or never - the debate failed - its time to take direct action

You should contact Peter Feeney who handles complaints for RTE. You could email him at complaints@rte.ie (but I supect they delete most). Best policy is to keep ringing asking for him personally. I was given the run around when I rang (at a meeting bla bla bla), but I will keep trying. Also get onto Joe Duffy and when your one have a go at RTE, he will try and cut you off but at least you will have got your say in before he does so.
The rte (neo) liberals have been lying to the people for years on issues such as the EU, Nato wars etc etc. The sooner we have alternative media and rte and its liars and truth spinners disapear the better.
