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? Sat Nov 22, 2025 15:00 | Noah Carl
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.

I did allege there was pro-zionist censorship here about a year ago but I was wrong.
See, even I can make mistakes. ;)
I remember seeing the posting but it isn't to be found under
http://topica.com/lists/imc-ireland-hidden/read
which is where the deleted stuff goes .....
Mysterious ....
But in general I do not agree that there is an official policy of pro-Israeli censorship here ... or if there is it is not very rigorously enforced :-)
Might have been some maverick editor or a Mossad hacker ..... (Avi where are you ?)
In the deleted stuff I only found this
http://topica.com/lists/imc-ireland-hidden/read/message.html?mid=806005707&sort=d&start=1003
But I don't think that that was the article about the bulldozers you are referring to ? Or was it ?
If it was a deletion, then it doesn't appear to have been logged ... so perhaps it wasn't officially done ...
Anyway I don't think that we should be too quick to dump on the Indymedia guys, they get a lot of unnecessary flak IMHO .....
does anyone seriously think this is a 'pro-israeli site'? c'mon!
your anti-semitic rantings are not welcome here
That's funny, only 24 hours ago we were being accused of imposing anti-Islamic censorship on the site.
You know, we have mailing lists, we have a full archive of any article deleted, and we have editorial policies and procedures. I am absolutely, utterly, and completely fed up of the Glass is Half Full Party jumping to the conclusion that (fill in your point of view) is being suppressed. Personally I can't keep track of who I'm biased against from one day to the other. Save your paranoia for the real people who are out to get you. Use the contact form on the site or send a message to the editorial mailing lists. That's what someone who was genuinely wondering where an article has gone would do. The barrage of posts-about-posts is just grandstanding and attention-seeking.
Koko, I'm not having a go at you, and I know you've been contributing great material to the site for a long time - but please don't automatically think the worst (At least you didn't call us fascists). We are in the habit of giving explainations in the archive of posts where time permits, or where it's not obvious (i.e. if someone posts the same line 500 times or accidentally submits a blank post), so the idea that there is no accountability is not entirely true - yeah, we could be doing it better (and the updated site code, which is fantastic, will make that much easier).
The most important point that I want to emphasise to all users is to make use of the mailing list or contact form for this sort of allegation. You're guaranteed to get an 'official' response of some sort, and you don't knock an original story off the newswire, and you don't come across as paranoid and single-minded when, as in virtually all cases, the hiding was valid and entirely justified. Someday, just someday, I would love to see an allegation of censorship by someone who DIDN'T agree with the article that was brutally and disguistingly deleted by the Zionist-anti-Semitic-Leninist-Reformist-Anarachist-pro-American-anti-American cabal.
Oh, and we can't delete without it being logged. The code automatically mails the article to the archive. This is an improvement put in by the author of the code, and took care of what was, quite frankly, a problem (articles deleted without anyone knowing they were there). Of course because the transmission is by email there can be delayed delivery, but it's not as if I can log in and delete an article, then prevent it from being sent to the archive. Just not possible.
I'm a rabid Zionist reactionary who makes Avi H. look like Israel Shamir ... I just wanted to complain about the deletion of some viciously anti-Israeli articles from your newswire ... I think that this stuff should remain up there to show the world how sick those guys are ... after all what was it Rosa Luxemburg said about freedom being the freedom to hold divergent opinions ... or something like that ......
What specfic articles where they?
Given the fact that Aidan is a Mossad agent, Daithi is a member of the Labour Party and Ray was a member of the WSM.
There is a definite anti Jewish bias to this site. Jew hating Nazism is alive and well on Indymedia.
My mistake, the Bulldozer article can still be found at:
http://www.indymedia.ie/cgi-bin/newswire.cgi?id=39311&start=70
However the other article asking for signatures to a petition against US military aid to Israel was indeed deleted
http://topica.com/lists/imc-ireland-hidden/read/message.html?mid=806005707&sort=d&start=1003
Whereas nobody wants to see racist abuse on this or any other site it seems rather strange that this should be deleted outright without any comment being stored in the archive.
Surely the first step should be to remove any abusive material and leave the discussion thread intact?
Standard practice we are now removing all petitions from the newswire.
Petitions are not news by any stretch of the imagination, and e-mail petitions are a totally ineffective tool to effect change, therefore as standard all petitions are now removed, be they requests for the pope to become a human shield, or e-mail the UN to stop the war or whatever.
