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.

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.

No one ever in history, not ever, has done so much to ensure the safety and welfare of civilians and especially women and children during this conflict.
When coalition forces leave Iraq, it will be a better place. The formerly progressive Arab society there will be able to return and flourish, and the Iraqi people will be ever grateful for their liberation.
Protesters will find some other outlet for their hatred when their idiotic attempts at reason fall to pieces. Save the cockroaches, maybe? Oh, the inhumanity!
Never before has so much care been taken to avoid civilian casualties in a war. A fact not lost on the Iraquis, as evidenced by the use of human shields. Here's a question, do you think the Iraqis would care if the US used human shields?
just like the US supported regimes in south america left the countries they were 'liberating' better places. we all know that the us sponsored contras certainly did much to improve the life of the average nicaraguan citizen, and of course we cannot forget the liberators of panama ("operation just cause"), what were there, a coupla thou?, all liberated, much freer than they were the day before, from that former-CIA backed thug named Manuel Noriega...
hmmm... this case bears striking similarities to the case presently before us... one of a dictator who was formerly backed by the CIA... and armed and aided by the US...
strange, isn't it. that all these 'problems' that the US have are mainly of their own making.
but no worries... what's new on TV this week?
by those 'liberated' in "operation just cause" in panama, i was being sarcastic, referring to the several thousand civillian casualties. i want to be clear. oh yeah, and don't forget the US's favorite guy in the region, pinochet. he was a great liberator, too.
That the USA saw its mistakes in putting dictators to run 3rd world countries.Now we were wrong and are cleaning up,and all the rest of the world bitches and moans.Sheesh there is no pleasing some people
Leaving out a bit og history eh? The situation in IRAQ whre a murderous dictator runs peolple through plastic choppers, violates the UN regulations and murders over a million, mostly civilians, is a dictator YOU seem to support. The part you left out was the US removed Noriega as he was crazed. We removed your leftist elete from Granada etc etc - get it right.
Gee, If you have a "good" enemy any atrocity is OK apparently.
This is an old story in US history. You should read some of the historical accounts of the "red savages"
But the US is running out of "good" enemies. Pakistan will probably be a major worry for them in the near.
Any way you look at it a thermonuclear war is probably coming to your home soon.
I hope all the yankee-doodle cheerleaders enjoy the next level of atrocity.
Hey I heard that the English used Ireland as a whorehouse for 800 years? I want to come over and try out some of the local girls. Who wants to introduce me to their sister?
Aunty USA needs to spend more time collecting facts and less time listening to her old Jefferson airplane albums. There's just TOO much evidence out there to contradict you, old girl. Maybe you'd better focus your limited talents on saving whales or snail darters.
The US has been trying very hard to avoid civilian casualties, but it is not always possible and sometimes screw-ups occur. This is the case with the Israeli Defence Forces as well. I know this for a fact.
a) don't install vicious dictators to do your bidding (iraq, iran, chile, panama, indonesia to name a few)
b) don't supply said dicatators with chemical and biological weapons, and military advisors.
c) don't be surprised when they decide to get too big for their boots
d) don't impose economic sanctions that kill 1 million people in ten years
e) don't go to war to remove the rascals (or 'new hitlers'). don't use cluster bombs. don't use DU. don't bomb market places. don't bomb russian diplomats. don't fire on journalists. don't fire on busses. oh yeah, and did I mention, don't go to war.
not that i beleive this war is about democracy, human rights or WMDs, it is of course about oil and imperialist comtrol and teh upcoming elections - with a little bit of good ole raghead bashing thrown in for good measure.
