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.

Latest Lie From Tony Blair

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday March 28, 2003 10:34author by James McKennaauthor email jimmymac61 at hotmail dot com Report this post to the editors

'They executed our boys'

Families of dead British soldiers ask Blair to tell them the truth about how their sons died. He had claimed two tommies were executed in an act "of cruelty beyond all human comprehension" when dragged from their vehicles and executed. He now admits there is no "absolute evidence" of this


The dead bodies of two Brits were allegedly found "a distance" from their vehicle without flak jackets and this, says Mr Blair, is proof they were executed by Iraqis. More like proof they were surprised while on a break in an undefended forward position! Executed by their officers stupidity ? And that's a US officer, Tommy Franks, who is also the Supreme Commander of Irish invading ISAF troops in Afghanistan.

The Effect: the British public feel less pain when they hear of Iraqi army or civilian casualties. The British soldiers in the field will be more willing to be brutal and fierce.

However a significant statement comes from Private Danny Quirk, 22, from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire on patrol at a checkpoint near the ambush site when he cautiously inserts.."If it's true that the British soldiers were executed in cold blood"..into his conversation.

Yes Danny, it's wise to be cautious when your officers and government are liars, murderers and thieves and are themselves guilty "of cruelty beyond all human comprehension". You have it tattoed right between "Mum and Dad" and "Danny loves Liz" - "IF IT'S TRUE"

Even though Blair yesterday went back on the execution story, Col Ben Hodges this morning said the story was true? He also said they had taken Omm Qsar(!), there was a public uprising in Basra (!), and the war was going to plan(!). Are these people not embarassed to lie like this?
