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.

An Apology to Senator Terry Layden F.F.

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday April 10, 2003 08:04author by James McKennaauthor email jimmymac61 at hotmail dot com Report this post to the editors

Tarred with wrong brush!

Senator Terry Layden Fianna Fail yesterday called for the Government to send a mission to Palestine to see at first hand what is going on there. This is a very brave stance considereing recent FF Central Command orders for total obedience to the "Regime".


I fully support actions and pickets on government offices and ministers who are complicit in the ongoing illegal invasion of Iraq but a mistake was made in daubing paint on Sentor Layden.

No malice or personal insult was intended against Senator Layden but nonetheless he should not as a man of courage and foresight have been daubed with red paint. It is vital not to lose sight of the Real Villians.

Senator Layden faced the crowd outside Dail Eireann that day when the real villians ran for safety, escorted by Gardai. He tried to talk and when daubed he did not press charges or even make any angry statements.

I think it would be nice if people wrote to Mr Layden to express their support for him and to express our sorrow that he was targeted.

I have no connection with Fianna Fail or Mr Layden .

There is a pretty long record of FFers being 'radical' abroad but conservative at home. If he voted for refuelling he deserved the paint and as far as I'm aware all the FF crew voted for it.

has been tarred with the wrong brush
daubed in red green black or white.
many more have been arrested, manhandled, given a wallop, ignored, marginalised or teargassed, beaten, CSC gassed, baton charged, plastic bulleted, rubber bulleted, mace sprayed, water cannoned.

I like to see representatives represent their people. Good Luck to this Senator in Palestine....was he elected or appointed?....nice he didn't press charges.
as for apologies?
where does he stand on the vital issues?
in the 21st century one thinks maybe our representatives "elected" not "appointed" will get used to such interventions.
Paint never harmed anyone.

Not necessarily true ......
In 1999, after he sided with Nato's bombing campaign against Yugoslavia, Mr Joschka Fischer, German Foreign Minister, suffered a burst eardrum when an enraged fellow-Green hurled a paint bomb at him.
